I can't dream about you

Written by
Dreams are funny things. It is a universal fact of life that every night all human beings lay down to sleep and dream.

During sleep your soul is free to roam the planet and visit places and people that your waking life won't allow.

I think my dream weaver is on the fritz because I just can't dream the things I want to! For years I was actually afraid to dream because nightmares about work and people I loved would make me wake up more tired and upset than when I went to bed.

Now I've settled into a kind of boring truce with my subconscious, I don't have many nightmares anymore, just long, cheerfully numb diatribes where my friends and I end up wandering aimlessly from one casino to another in Vegas trying to find a nice restaurant or equally stimulating days of driving my mother to another doctor's appointment.


I can honestly say I've never had a great sexual dream, apparently my Jewish guilt works 24 hours a day because every time I get a good sexy dream going one of my dead relatives wanders in looking for the TV guide or something.

You'd think I have plenty of fodder for sexy dreaming because In real life I've already met some of the sexiest and funniest men on earth, men that other women can only dream of meeting. Sting, Michael Keaton, Rick Springfield, Adam Sandler, Woody Harrelson, and David Bowie have all wandered through my dreaming nightlife.

Sure, I've had lunch with them, gotten business advice, argued a little bit and kissed and cuddled perhaps but it always ends with either their wives or my mother waltzing in at the crucial moment. Either that or I excuse myself in the dream to find a bathroom to freshen up and never find them again. You'd think my subconscious would feel free enough to just go for it - it is MY dream after all, but no such luck.

So fellas, if you've had a dream with me in it and we went shopping for groceries or were making out on a couch when my mother walked in stark naked needing to go to the hospital, that was really me, that was my spirit visiting yours! But if we made mad passionate love under the stars or in fields of gold by an English castle, you were on your own baby.

We've been working really hard getting our new video website and our promo for my show "The Greenroom with Kim Katz" ready to link with NBC5.com and need your input! Check out the new site at www.Buzznews.TV and tell us what you think!

"America The Beautiful"

There is a wonderful and very important new documentary coming to your town soon about the dangers of beauty obsession in this country. Check out my review of "America the Beautiful" and my discussion with it's director, Darryl Roberts, in this issue.

"Soundrabbit"- Sounds like a winner!

After working out at the gym I like to hang out at my local Borders bookstore and read a big stack of books. To my surprise I heard the sounds of a really great band, floating out over the coffee and magazines. Soundrabbit recently did a tour of Borders stores and I really fell in love with their music. Their mellow, romantic sound reminds me of "Flight of the Conchords", but with more musicality and a little less joking around. This band does a lot for charity and I'm sure they will break out on the soundtrack of some TV show or film any day now. Be sure to give them a listen and show some love for Soundrabbit on our "Buzz on my Band" page .

That's is for this month, next month we'll have lots of cool Vegas coverage of The Cinevegas Film Festival!

Enjoy the summer weather coming in Chicago kit kats!

Love Ya, Kim Katz
