My love for you, is quite obscene

God, I'm obsessed with the John Hiatt song Ethylene. I love the guy's voice but it's the lyrics that just get to me completely. They're so... brilliant. I honestly think "Sitting on the toilet, with my sunglasses on" may be the most brilliantly evocative use of an opening line ever. The simple turns of phrase in the song and references to everyday things (I miss that crocheted thing, You kept on the kleenex box) just get under my skin. I love shit like that.

In other news, I'm definitely feeling better about things at work, which has been partly to blame for my emoness over the past couple of days, since we got in a couple of website orders today, with a meeting for another on Thursday and a further enquiry in the pipeline. Since that's been my bugbear over the past week or so, it was good to finally get things moving on that and I'm glad I pushed a couple of the leads through to completion. I guess the insomniac letter writing motivated me some.
