Mesmerizing
Just listening to the ever-green Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair and it brought back a flood of memories. A couple of them are none too pleasant: partcularly clear in my mind is the fact that “Mesmerizing” is the song that was playing when I crashed my car back in 1999. It wasn’t too serious, but it wasn’t minor either. I suppose it was just the icing on the cake of the crappy year for Mr. Wilson that was 1999. I’m having a much better time now, thanks very much for asking.
Speaking of memories, it came up in conversation last night that because I have a generally contented life right now, at least it means I won’t be drinking to excess; to forget. Thing is, I don’t need to drink to forget. I’m very good at forgetting without any outside help. I have a memory that would make a sieve look like a, um, well, a thing without holes anyway.
