featherynscale: Schmendrick the magician from The Last Unicorn (Default)
You know you've moved into the realm of overgeek when you can't answer a simple question simply and accurately.

This morning, the nurse at the office says to me, "What kind of music do you like?". I'm completely without an answer. I flounder a bit, and settle on, "Anything with complex instrumentation, bonus points for the use of non-traditional instruments for the genre. Less vocals, more clever music." So I'm thinking, that covers almost everything, except for the thing about the Rickenbacker guitars, which you just can't explain to a sane person. Surely this would be easy to understand. I smile brightly.

She blinks a bit, and then says, "So, you like the oldies, then?".

No, not exactly. Oh well. Really thought I had it there, for a moment.
