smells like...

...fruity shower gel. why? because I'm wearing it on my hands and pants. why? let me explain: tonight we were out picking up a few things at home depot, petsmart, and other places in the tacoma central plaza. one such place was bath and body works. Kelley heard about some crazy $3 shower gel sale so we went. I'll admit, I'm kinda into smelly stuff. smelling is one of my 2 favorite senses, actually. it might even be my favorite. I bet most of you have never even considered a favorite sense. I'm one step ahead of ya. anyway, so we go into the store and I pick up a random scent that looks like it might smell good. I squeezed the bottle a little, and out comes like 2 ounces of shower gel overflowing on the outside of the bottle. I figured: someone might buy this and it'll look like someone else bought it, used it in the shower, and returned it. in my effort of nicety, I decided I would clean the bottle up so it would look unused again. so I wiped it on my hand. it was way too much still, so I wiped the excess on my jeans. now I smell like fruity shower gel and you know all about it. but whoever buys that bottle won't know there was an accident. which is a plus, I suppose.

so then I came home and worked on the song. a previous blog said the title was "watching a sinking ship" and that the title wouldn't change. the title is now "s.o.s.". I lied. it changed. many of the lyrics, (especially the chorus) have changed significantly, so I felt it merited a title change. still excited about it, but I feel like it's not going to appeal to as many people as I thought it would initially. here's why: I didn't want it to be predictable all the way through, so there's some added "unpredictableness". I put that in quotes because some of you might hear it and say, "I knew exactly how that song was going to progress all the way through". well, if that is you when you hear it someday, you are special.

in other news: I ate a hot dog today that took me almost 8 hours to digest. my toes are freezing. I miss california recently.

thanks for reading. some of these blogs will actually be more serious. feel free to leave comments on these blogs. I welcome interaction.
