Woke from particularly intense dreams of arguing with racist family members and eating elaborately prepared cake, so I should not have been surprised to see an email from my mother this morning inviting me and K. to a family birthday/Father's Day celebration next weekend. Fortunately HBO was showing the the Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie this morning, which went a long way towards soothing the anger I was feeling for my dad. Is there anything cable can't fix?

Speaking of which, it only now occurs to me that the elaborately prepared cake part of my dream was clearly inspired by watching Cake Boss last night with K.
