After all these years

Still listening to the Clash on big headphones ( they're wireles now), smoking an elctro-doob, chilling on my bed , looking out the window with an Evil Dead t-shirt on.

Harry and I are the same kind of cranky.

The Hard Stuff

One of the hardest things about the way my brain works...  I wanted to say THE hardest thing, but I couldn’t because one of the hardest things is that my default setting for communication, both incoming and outgoing, is Literal. I can learn to understand Implied if it’s explained to me and then I go in and  manually change the default setting from Literal to Situational Subtext with parenthetical notation for future reference. But when I have to choose an absolute, the possibles come flying at me and it’s too many and I can’t rank them and so I can’t choose  because choosing is one of the hardest things. And so “the hardest thing about the way my brain works…” started spinning through my mind like a Monty Python chief weapon of the Spanish inquisition list. I really like Monty Python. Those guys make great lists. The Cheese shop and all the cheeses that are absent. The dead parrot and all the different ways to say something is dead. I made a list of all the things that are hard about the way my brain works and it was a Happy Fun Ball disclaimer length list.  Another hard thing is tangents. And details.  I don’t know how Monty Python and Happy Fun Ball even got in here.
