It's funny but some songs, even from bands i'm not really into can kill me
sometimes...."Sunshine On Leith" by the Proclaimers is one....and
yesterday...I was driving down the 101 with my sunroof open (only because
it was WAY cloudy) and it started to sprinkle, just as Loreli by The Pogues
came on..and as the song got sadder and sadder...it started to rain harder
and harder..and i'd never noticed what a tragic song that was....never
thought twice about it.....must have looked funny....me driving in the rain
weeping my eyes out with my sunroof open, in rush hour traffic with Tinky
Winky grinning on my bumper......*sigh*

the onslaught of insanity me thinkest.


two straight jackets please...it's been cold lately.....


*sigh*
