So I had a very upsetting experience at work. Not upsetting in the traditionally bad way, just upsetting in that it made me start questioning the nature of reality, which I actually think is a good thing, sometimes.
I'm tooting away at work listening to the store's Muzak. Its always there and its usually just at the subliminal level for me, I occaisionally notice what's playing, but more often than not I just start humming a song and don't know why it's in my head. But at this particular time I heard the song. Albert Hammond's "It Never Rains in California." So I'm listening to it, and working, and I have to go back into the back of the house. And I'm tooling away at making ranch dressing, and humming the song when I realize that the melody matches what is playing on the mexican radio station the dishwasher has playing. Then I realize that it is a spanish version of "It Never Rains in California"...
Then I go to the kitchen door and listen, and playing just slightly out of sync is the english version...
And as I stood there hypnotized by the slightly out-of-sync, spanish-english garble, it starts raining...
And I don't think there is enough airable land on this continent to grow the amount of pot I would need to smoke to make that alright...
Just went to see Girl with a Pearl Earring last weekend.
