I am sitting here enjoying a glass of Shiraz Cabernet Special Reserve from James Busby Fine Wines, while the rest of the family sleeps. No I've never heard of this wine before either, but at $2.49 a bottle it doesn't matter, & it is actually a happy surprise. Yummo. Maybe it's the peace & quiet that is making me feels so relaxed & happy, or maybe it's the wine, but I feel a need to sort/delete from the brain space.
Bear (Bare?) with me.
For some reason I can't stop singing 'Midnight at the Oasis'. I don't know why. But cactus is our friend. Side note - Should I have splurged on tequila? Is that the message? I often get songs stuck in my head for varying lengths of time. The song seems to stay until I figure the meaning...no, I am not suffering from a mental illness. For example - Short Skirt Long Jacket by Cake, for 2 days last month. Turns out that the short jacket I wanted to wear was missing a button, which neccesitated the wearing of my other black jacket - the long one. For some reason, Big in Japan by Tom Waites almost invariably means we have run out of cheese. Which is why I was not wearing a short skirt with that long jacket.
Bizzare, I know. But I do so enjoy being a bystander to my minds inner workings.
If you are a Christian please look away, I am probably about to offend you. I overheard someone recently exclaim 'Christ on a Cracker!' I have no idea where this phrase origionates, but which image does it conjure up for you? Jesus riding a giant Jatz cracker magic carpet style? Or Jesus getting a giggly piggy back ride from an overall wearing hillbilly? I know in Voodoo that spirits 'ride' their followers by taking possesion of them, maybe that has something to do with it. There's a T shirt design in there somewhere..
I've only had one glass, I swear.
