Catch My Disease

My mom bought me the Grey's Anatomy Original Soundtrack the other day and I came across this song. It's "Catch My Disease" by Ben Lee and the first two lines cracked us both up:

My head is a box full of nothing
and that's the way I like it

I have to agree, that would probably be nice--the whole head being a box full of nothing. From too many years of experience I've learned that thinking isn't the world's greatest thing. Well, overthinking isn't. I really do with people in general would think more, but that seems to be too much to ask. It's unfortunate that something that I value so highly in other people seems to be a curse to myself. And yes, this is what the opening lyrics to that song bring to my mind, along with amusement.

Shopping with My Mom

My mom and I went shopping today. It wasn't really an intended shopping trip, but it happened, and we ended up in Foley's.

We saw this horrific skirt that was a brown-ish ick color, ruffley, and had multiple multi-colored fabric pieces layered on it. I described it as an "amalgamation of BLEH!" complete with cringing motion and gesticulation. My mom found it absolutely hilarious.

She was also greatly amused by my description of multiple pieces of clothing, as well as multiple people, as "whore-ish." (Some people would say I'm not exactly tolerant... I just value modesty, really.) Apparently my intolerance is inspiration for amusing vocabulary on my part. Maybe you'd just have to take my mom's word on it though.
