dreamlog: free to be je-an-nie

This morning the alarm clock woke me from a series of dreams I was having in which old classic TV shows were somehow skewed. I can't recall the specifics of the other shows about which I was dreaming--I do remember that they included The Flintstones, which I think had some sort of Queer Eye crossover with Fred being made over by the Fab Five, and Bewitched, among others--but the last one I'd been dreaming of had featured Marlo Thomas as That Jeannie, with the independent, feminist-minded and sensibly dressed Jeannie Marie--who lived in a hatbox rather than a bottle--referring to Major Donald Nelson as "Mister" rather than "Master," and refusing to use her powers to conjure up meals--with a "flip" of her hairdo--or blink the house clean.

I had dreamed a new theme song as well, though by the time the snooze button went off the second time, I could no longer recall the words to it.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
