Hair and Eva

They're in first place. The Spurs. That's fine. But they're not in first first place. Meaning, they're not ahead of Detroit. They certainly weren't ahead of Detroit on Christmas Sunday. I'm glad I didn't watch. It would have been painful. So here's what I'm thinking. Tony Parker needs to lay off of Eva the Desperate Housewife just a tad and Tim needs to cut his hair. It's not even 2006 yet and I'm starting to get a little nervous about the playoffs. Dear lord. I'd like to turn the topic to student loans. The thought dawns on me as I listen to the song "Money" as performed by Alan Cumming in the hit musical Cabaret. I'd love to go back to school. Not really, but if I did, I'd study psychology. It fascinates me. I analyze everything. It's so bad that I've taken to deconstructing Kelly Clarkson lyrics. Her latest song, "Because of You," wreaks of subconscious childhood drama. Quite a lot, I'd say, for a pop song to attempt. But she is an American Idol after all. But a career in psychology is not to be. My student loans have hemorrhaged. But long live Freud and all the rest. And here's to armchair psychology. I've got a Ph.D. in it.
