a dream of jonny greenwood

last night was pretty crappy sleepwise. i have to admit, clinic is kind of something i dread. not because i don't like the interns, or working with patients. it's just, every week i promise that i will do more to systematize things, like creating a systematic clinic manual, and because of one thing or another, i always end up doing little or nothing... and every wednesday morning (which is inevitably a scramble), i'm reminded of that lack of progress...

nevertheless, in the waning (?) moments of my sleep (interrupted at about 4:30), i had a pretty cool dream. i was in some auditorium. towards the back row, with all the cool kids. at some lecture. and for some reason, i had a synthesizer in my lap. some cheap clunky thing, but it was a synthesizer, and it was portable enough for me to carry it around. and guess what? to my left, maybe a row back, was jonny greenwood from radiohead. and he had this really nifty synth, like a moog or something (like i know anything about synths), and when he spied mine, he came over, and introduced himself (like he needed an intro), and asked if he could mess with my synth. and in a moment, he started doing stuff with it i'd never seen nor heard before... he started playing this song that kept singing "atlanta, atlanta," which was weird, because i hadn't seen him input any audio into the synth, nor even record his own voice saying anything... and what he did was so- effortless, it was like child's play to him... play...

and i woke up feeling, i don't know, inspired. and cool. like jonny greenwood actually played on my synthesizer.
