Guilty Pleasures / Sleepless Again

Teardrop by Massive Attack

I love "House, M.D.". I know it's not "good", I just love the sleuthing that goes on in clinic.

I love it when I get a whiff of connection between seemingly unrelated things. Usually the "connection" is my delusion at best. But one of these days one of those perceptions will happen to be a stroke of genius.

I could never be a doctor. I definitely could never get through med school. For one thing, I don't absorb; information just slides off me like water off a glass dome. I know the "thing", just not its label. I'd probably be a more useful member of society if I had a good memory. But maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me: it'll only make room for things I really care about.

So, I'll trade intuition for rigor. Dreaming up random associations for having a grounded sense of reality. Grasping the whole for remembering the details.

It's just the way I am. And why I should only date left handed men =)

Who said House is not "good"? It's one of the best programs on network television. I don't miss an episode.
