The “he’s a transvestite” line in Psycho will always get a laugh from my eighteen year old students because they think that word is funny and that it’s maybe kind of scandalous and kids of all ages get excited by things that veer anywhere towards the dirty.

My mornings that begin with the world tilted on an emotional axis happen because the dream I was trudging through the very moment before my alarm blared into my consciousness was not a very comforting dream.  It probably involved a person who stated to me directly all the things I’ve always been terrified to hear in real life – and in the dream, he speaks really clearly.
