Wednesday, 8/6

You know...I don't even know what color MINE are.

I had an “Instant Request” yesterday that did something almost all requests never make me do. This one made me think. The guy who called wanted to hear “Brown Eyed Girl” because his wife has brown eyes. It was a sweet call, and I was more than happy to play it, but that's when I started to think.

And that, as we all know, can be a dangerous thing.

I could not request that song the same way in which Jay in Republic could because (and I'm almost ashamed to admit this) off the top of my head I don't know what color Loraine's eyes are. I'm pretty sure they're green, but I can't say that with 100% certainty. Her eyes are actually pretty cool, in that they seem to change shades depending upon what color clothes she's wearing.

But with 100% certainty? Well, if nothing else, now I have an excuse to gaze intently into her eyes, right?

8-)

I mean, I actually don't feel too bad about the fact that I'm not 100% sure about the color of Loraine's eyes. In all honesty, I'm not even 100% sure about the color of MY eyes. I think they're brown, but whenever someone asks the color of my eyes I usually say “bloodshot” and leave it at that.

But now I'm curious. Hang on a second.

(Yes, I'm heading to a mirror to take a look).

Okay, I'm back. They really ARE bloodshot, thanks to all of the fire haze, but they also appear to be green. That actually surprises me a little; I could have sworn they're brown. Maybe it's the light in our bathroom, or something. But, I guess, that goes to show just how much I don't pay attention to them. So if I don't know what color MINE are, I'm not surprised I'm not 100% sure Loraine's are green, as well.

Thankfully, there's not a song about green eyes that I could ever request, right?

Oh, wait. Crap--
