Are you there, Hubble? It's me, Jason.

Seriously, I'm wearing a shirt so bright and loud today, you can probably find me on Google Earth.

That's been my favorite app lately, as I've tried to bore myself to sleep by looking at satellite views of everything from the Amazon rain forest (it's really big and green, apparently) to Paris (France, not Texas -- yet, anyway).

Perhaps it's attributable to my exceedingly weird dreams of late. Last night's was particularly weird, as I was in my Mamaw and Papaw Wright's former house, and Lady Gaga was performing in the kitchen, clad in a nude body suit. She was about to writhe onstage while singing her song "You and I" -- although, in the dream, it sounded more like "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes, but whatever.

The scene abruptly switched to another locale -- some dimly lit bar, where Gaga sat down in the audience between me and my buddy Lubbock. I kept trying to engage her, but her attention was almost completely rapt by Lub.

They went off together somewhere while I walked toward the bar, during which time it suddenly became breakfast time, and I ordered scrambled eggs with bacon. (Most of my dreams star food lately, although only in supporting roles.)

Anyway, I finish my eggs and realize I haven't seen Gaga or Lubbock. So I go downstairs and, sho nuff, there they are, in flagrante delicto, TALKING AND LAUGHING WITHOUT ME! I was so mad, I dumped an ashtray on Lub's head, whereupon he ended our friendship. Then I woke up angry, not able to get that stupid 4 Non Blonde's song out of my head. And I was craving eggs, which was inconvenient because the ones in my fridge expired this summer.

Do you remember your dreams? The folks at the School of Metaphysics told me to keep a dream journal by my bed and attempt to write down what I remember. Even if I don't recall anything, write it down and, allegedly, I'll be able to start remembering things more often. I haven't actually tried that, as I'm afraid that waking up from a cool dream, then turning on a light at 3:30 a.m. to jot down the dream would keep me from going back to sleep, and that would be a nightmare. But it's a cool idea.

So what's the kookiest dream you've had lately? Keep it tame, please.

Peace, love and eggs ... XOXO

I don't remember my dreams well, but last night I had one of those, "I can't breathe and something is on me" part awake/part asleep things. My cat was actually sitting next to me, but in the dream thing she was on my hand and she was the reason I kept stopping breathing. Then, suddenly there were body parts all over me. As in the horror movie kind, not the Skinemax kind. I blame you, though, since I read your blog about scary movies yesterday.

I dreamed a guy was trying to get me. In the dream I jerked away from him. Apparently I did so physically too because the next thing I knew I woke up on all 4s on the floor next to the bed. I jerked myself clear out of bed.

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
