This picture would seem to indicate that I LIKE the various shades of what I call 'Putrid Green'. Wallet, pants, hat, coat, etc. One could correctly assume that I CHOSE to buy such items in such color, cause who would dare to gift someone with such a color?
However, when it comes to wearing it this morning. It seems that wearing the Putrid Green is bringing out the putrid within me. All I can do is stare at myself in disgust. Who in the hell draped me in such vomit? I must draw the line.
It'd be a hard call to speculate as to whether my mood is caused by the steroids, or the fact that there seems to be a bit of Panty Painting going on. Which would explain the massive consumption of Chinese food a couple days ago. And as you know, you're always starving 2 hours after eating Chinese, so when I got home, I ate a ton of cheddar cheese, including a cheese sandwich, (which I hate???) and 3 bowls of cereal. Also, about 7 pounds of raisons. I was truly mystified.
Until I found this: Note the items in red.
