Currently Listening No Direction Home: The Soundtrack (The Bootleg Series Vol. 7) By Bob Dylan see related

     Today's Look: Dr. Cuddy. Black skirt, tight lowcut lavender sweater. Hence the Dr. Cuddy. She's okay. I kinda thought she was gonna hook up with House though. My bad.

    I'm visiting Derrick Saturday. I'll give him everybody's regards. Thanks you helpful folks for checking up with me, I appreciate it.  Nate's going to NC without me, so I'll get a weekend to myself. Sushi or something, maybe. Spring term at Open Stage ... you know what that means!  Up goes MTW again. yessssssss ...    
New Song ...

Patent Pending, or Ode To My Capo

Housekeeper scoop me up
Put me in your bag.
Leave a mint where I used to stand
and bill all the skin flicks to the concierge
It's gonna be a long night

Freshen me with menthol
Put a filter on my face
Peer pressurize my very bones
with arsenic and spit and you.
They taught me to say "no" to drugs
but not how to refuse you

I'm new and I'm improved
and I've become a staple
I'm new and I'm approved in 17 states.
Patent me, you genius, copyright the year
on my face and kiss me where it hurts.

Tear me limb from limb
Drag my leg 'gainst your shoe
Use the warmth exuded there
To span your hypothermic breath.

Mold me out of plastic
Into a rose chrysanthemum or poppy
or a fern.
You'll pretend to water me
and I'll pretend to die.  

I'm new and I'm improved
and I've become a staple
I'm new and I'm approved in 23 states.
Patent me, you genius, copyright the year
on my face and kiss me where it hurts.

Watch my ratings plummet
and housekeepers trade my parts
Watch me become old news to everyone but you.

and kiss me where it hurts.
