My friend Jay, during the holidays, says to me, "Nic, you're into movies. Maybe you know this one... nah. Forget it. It's too obscure." So of course, I light up and say, "Go ahead. Make my day."
Well, I was thinking about this movie. It's got vampires. From outerspace. The setting is in England."
Of course, the exact title and approximate release date flashes in my mind. (In case you're interested, it was Lifeforce, 1984/85) I saw it once. I wasn't particularly interested in it.
Yeah, so?
So why does shit like this stick to my boot, so to speak?
I have access to random facts, useless, unserving tidbits in my head.
Why? Why not know useful information? Why can't I even remember my multiplication tables (8x6 always stumps me for a minute.)
You see where I am going with this?
Just a thought.

You sound s lot like me. My brain is filled with useless information. It drives me crazy. I wish I could go through the "filing cabinet" and get rid of all the unneeded stuff.
