halloween head.

Before today, I never knew what Ryan Adams' song "Halloween Head" was about. I mean, I always had an inkling as to what, but never resorted to a specific meaning.

Now I have something to resort to when listening to the song.

It was 9-something in the morning at a small breakfast place in Lincoln (in the conservatory with the candlestick), when in came what I could only describe as "the brightest, ugliest red hair I've ever seen."

Very red. Very ugly. Very adjective-friendly, in a bad way, though.

And in the back of my head the song was playing, a song I only listened to three-to-four times tops. TOPS, because I never understood what a Halloween Head was. But now I do, and suddenly the lyrics make perfect sense.

"Head full of tricks and treats": that's too obvious. "It leads me thru the nighttime streets": becuase it's more red than those sneakers that light up. "Black cats and falling trees,Under ladders always walking": persumably because they looked at this chick's hair.

I had some questions that you can't answer because you never saw her hair, but do you think when girl's came over and braided each other's hair, they skipped over her's?

How about at prom? I bet she was convinced her hair looked awesome by some zitty band geek that night.

Thing I did to stay occupied:
Went to wikipedia and hit "Random Page". Go ahead do it. I've read about Route XX in Maryland, some random ass movie Kurt Douglas was in when he was 17, the United Nations.

Other intersting things I learned:
1. Never too late in the day to fit a "Clue" joke in.
2. I have yet to read the dictionary on the can in my new apartment because my new roomate subscribes to 20 magazines.
3. Sleeping 13 hours really fixes nothing at all.
4. I managed to say, "I wish I had cancer" and still make eight people laugh loud.
5. No matter how many times I angrily yelled, "GO!" at some old lady today, she definitely wouldn't have heard me or driven any faster.
6. My window has been wide open for 4 days and it still hasn't been as cold as my old apartment yet.
7. Red heads, in small doses, not so scary. Red heads, in large doses, scare the shit out of me.
