Class started this week, I have an abnormal psychology class. My prof turned on a movie. It was 1940s asylum footage of different schizophrenics. People who stay completely still, people who move like crazy, talk to themselves. I dont know what it is but grainy black and white footage made them seem all the crazier. Plus they had cloth wrapped around their heads to "hide" their identities.

Now imagine this footage with honky tonk music playing. First a song going PINK CADILLAC, PINK CADILLAC, followed by MEMPHIS WOMEN AND GOOD FRIED CHICKEN smthin smthin RIBS, then a song with some accordion. It was so surreal. I dont know how I didnt laugh. It was like my entire life had led up to that moment.
