where is the line

last night i had this dream that i was driving down a highway with jordan. as we drive we roll the windows down and we hear music coming from a stadium nearby. i told him that i assumed it was fiona apple because she was playing around here. as we listen we realize that is is bjork (we heard "where is the line") and we turned the car around to go find the stadium but we couldnt due to stupid dream situations (ie lost in the airport, cant read signs, stuck in a line).

what was most interesting about this dream is that bjork just performed at the mezzanine in san francisco the other night, as an afterparty for her new movie premiere. and imagine that while that happened radiohead played across the bay. so the european music geniuses do their thing in usa while i am over there, and i missed it all. oh well. anyways....here are 2 more questions that klosterman asks.

12. You meet a wizard in downtown chicago. the wizard tells you he can make you more attractive if you pay him money. when you ask how this process works, the wizard points to a random person on the street. you look at this random stranger. the wizard says "i will now make them a dollar more attractive." he waves his magic wand. ostensibly, this person does not change at all; as far as you can tell, nothing is different. but - somehow - this person is suddenly a little more appealing. the tangible difference is invisible to the naked eye, but you cant deny that this person is vaguely sexier. this wizard has a weird rule, though - you can only pay him once. you cant keep giving him money until youre satisfied. you can only pay him one lump sum up front. how much cash do you give the wizard?

19. your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: this friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. if you dont kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. however, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. so you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you cant tell them why. since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack?

12. As for the wizard, I would give him a stolen credit card and hope he didn't check ID. I'd prolly do like $50 American. That way I could bestow an unannounced attraction upgrade to someone who would probably be pretty bummed on losing their card.

19. Ribs scenario...I would kick them as hard as I could while running and tell them they had fresh baked vegan muffins for sale at Whole Foods. Like some ridiculous amount for super cheap. Say 30 for a buck. I'd explain that in my hurry I didn't see them laying there and pass the incident as an accident.

I went to a Radiohead afterparty where Bjork collaberated with them. Bjorkiohead. Pretty weird. The white pteradactyl was there djing to...

forget bjork and forget radiohead. but a pterodactyl dj might be the best thing ever. honestly. sit and think about a real pterodactyl. now imagine it djing. but it will be the size of a human with a large wingspan. that is amazing to me. ill tell daft punk to change their costumes.

12. I think I would give the wizard a dollar. I can't say I'd really want to be more attractive, but sometimes you just have to give pushy people a dollar to make them go away.

19. I would kick Rob and tell him there are vegan muffins on sale, or that Radiohead is outside, because apparently those are two of the things he likes the most.

1. i would give him 75 cents and see if the odd number would somehow transfer his powers over to me. then i would travel to middle earth and kick some sauramon ass.

2. i would kick them

jon its not about if you would kick them or not. its about what excuse you will come up with. get it right or pay the price.
