Caring is creepy

Thank goodness to The Shins (more below) and a wonderful response to a 2-page review that took me six hours to write for lifting my spirits up on a day of November rain (the nth time we hear about this cliched Guns N’ Roses reference, sorry!).

And yes, The Shins is the shit.

But you’ve got too much to wear on your sleeves
It has too much to do with me
But secretly I want to bury in the yard
The gray remains of a friendship scarred

-Kissing the Lipless

This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending
All these squawking birds won’t quit
Building nothing, laying bricks

-Caring is Creepy

Leopold Lesson #1: Ignoring it won’t make it go away. Sorry.

Leopold Lesson #2: Beautiful distractions are temporary. Ugly inflictions are chronic.
