Heart and Music
I ended up going home for my birthday a day earlier than expected. Which was good. I actually felt that I spent a decent amount of time there for a change.
My mom got me the first season of Charmed. Other than that, I just got money.
But...here's the exciting part (for me, at least):
We went to the mall so I could possibly spend some of said money on myself. So I went to FYE. Now, it is always a custom of mine to look forlornly in the musicals section for "A New Brain." No one ever has it, but I have to look. I have looked for this CD every single time I've been in a store that sells CDs. I have never found it. Experience has taught me that this search is fruitless, and I would have to just own up, and buy it online if I want it that badly. BUT, I was searching randomly in the musicals section, because I really didn't know what I wanted, and maybe I would spot something. I wasn't even specifically searching for it this time. I'm searching the CDs, and there it is, sitting in the first row, right in front, in plain view, one single copy of "A New Brain" staring me in the face. I actually *said* "holy shit" I was so stunned. That was the single most exciting thing that has happened to me all week.
That's all I've been listening to since. I love it. Especially "Heart and Music" (which we sang in Adv. MT once), "Gordo's Law of Genetics," "Poor, Unsuccesful and Fat," "Sitting Becalmed in the Lee of Cuttyhunk" and "Yes." Well, actually I'm being really, really, extremely, mega selective with those. I like the whole damn CD. It's quirky, but awesome. Sometimes it's awesome because it's quirky. Mostly the quirkiness just adds to the awesomeness that is already there. Yeah, something like that.
Some quotes:
"The bad trait
will always predominate
Bad trait
is certain to win.
The bad trait
will always predominate.
That is the Law
of Genetics
According to
Schwinn."
"Mommy sat and cried
But Dad was unaffected
He said,
'Have you ever had a better two minutes
in the last three years?'
We said, 'But Dad, the dumb horse lost!'
He said,
'Sometimes joy has a terrible cost,
I know that.'"
"You're so crazy."
"I'm only a little crazy."
"You are not successful."
"I am not succesful."
"You're too old to be a failure."
"I'm too old to be a failure."
"Your future's looking cloudy."
"My future's looking cloudy."
"Your sister is a whore."
"My sister is a receptionist."
"This is your idea of a vacation.
What a good idea for recreation.
At least it's sunny in Newport.
At least it's
sunny on Cape Cod.
At least it's
Sunny on Nantucket.
Oh, yeah, fuck it.
I hate the sun."
"But we are sitting becalmed
in the lee of Cuttyhunk.
Hotter than a pregnant cow."
"Or when someone says
would you like to lose
your virginity?
Someone
with whom
you have no affinity.
Say no no no no!"
"Whenever I dream
I dream pornographically
explicit.
I dream I'm a horse,
which is prob'ly a penis,
but is it?
Is it?
I don't know."
So there you go. Ciao.
