“A Wuggie is basically exactly like a Snuggie, except it says Weezer on it,” Cuomo explained. “The people at Snuggie are doing it with us and promoting it with us. It’s a totally legit Snuggie.”

Hah we were just talking about this at dinner sat as my brother said he would buy a snuggie if he could have the one Weezer was wearing at the weenie roast with leopard print. Looks like all his dreams are coming true.

Weezer is just becoming so embarrassing lately. I would like to personally kick Rivers Cuomo in the nutsack.

=O.Shane. Thanks for sharing that, makes me feel as though I'm not the only one who has vivid and occasionally prescient dreams.

It's a good thing you weren't drinking a glass of water in your dream!

I do kinda miss Nilla Wafers though. :( oh well... Susie is totally worth it.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Yes, I should mention that, in solidarity, Rachel and Karen won't eat Nilla wafers either, even though I never asked them to refrain.

This story is best enjoyed while downing an entire box of Nilla Wafers. (Seriously, it made me go buy some ... I'll keep away.)

Fascinating dreams. And great writing project. I don't recall ever having a dream with food in it, but I have had many dreams because of food I've eaten. Specifically, garlic makes me have vivid, crazy dreams, sometimes heart-pounding dreams.
- Marie Carnes
Very interesting! So what would you have done if I had (unknowingly) bought some Nilla wafers along as a snack for a poker night? (I certainly would never do it on purpose, having now read the story.)
- Stephen Mack
Knowingly slipping you a wafer would certainly NOT be a joke. I hope that never happens to you because I think it could cause irreparable damage to a friendship.
- Anne Bouey
Oh if you'd unknowingly brought some to poker night it probably would have been fine. I wouldn't have had any but it'd be okay. And I may have eaten something with processed Nilla wafer in it in the last quarter-century, but if I didn't know, never found out, and it wasn't intentionally done, then I don't think it applies to my dream. I've already had two people joke about bringing or...

That's a lovely story and thank you for having the guts to share it. (Love the minimalist design of your blog, too - very nice.)

The few times I have dreamed about birth and death and have awakened to find them true have persuaded me: you're doing the right thing.

"Local food-buying cooperatives, which cut out the middlemen between producers and consumers, are taking the country by storm. But how do they work, and how do you set one up? It's a bizarre sight: rows of polished church pews, each dotted with neat piles of fruit or veg. Shoppers scoop heaps into baskets, trolleys, or crumpled plastic bags saved from previous trips to Tesco. This is a weekly food shop, cooperative style - a model of food distribution where neighbours work together to take control of their local supply chain. The system is simple: find a supplier, buy in bulk and collectively cover the cost"

"The concept, of course, is far from new, but it's proving increasingly popular. "Interest is definitely growing," says John Atherton of Co-operatives UK, an organisation that supports cooperative enterprise across Britain. "We're seeing rising numbers of buying groups and community shops. It's a trend that is set to continue." The motivations are many: fears about food security; food...

there's one in brooklyn where you have to volunteer a few hours per week in order to be able to purchase items from the market. it works really well and has been around for a long time. the variety of people who use the market is pretty neat too.

I used to shop sometimes at a co-op before I moved to Seattle. I liked all of the products and the idea of it but it was often ridiculously expensive.

I go to a local health food Co-op. They used to have a program where members of the Co-op would work a few hours each week, but the program was discontinued after the labor department got involved. It was because the workers (including myself) only got paid with a 19% discount. I thought it was a bad move, because I wasn't working for the discount, I love the Co-op. I hope they find a way for the members to get involved somehow.

Eric, the point is that NBC could have taken something that turned to horseshit under Russert and gone back to it's roots. Gregory is so used to being rebuffed as a WH Correspondent that the thought of not only asking an *intelligent* followup question AND expecting a valid response just doesn't happen with him.

"This cotton/poly hoodie is a steal at $22.99 from jamjamtees’ Etsy storefront, and the graphic is screen-printed on navy for a very basic look. Anyone who’s ever seen those all-brown next-gen titles knows gamers don’t like color anyway. No wonder they avoid going outside."
