I have discovered a new disorder. And yes, I'm afflicted with it. It's called Obsessive Aesthetic Disorder (OAD) and is characteristic of people that notice all varieties of aesthetic details--for better or worse I might add. Yesterday I became freakishly obsessed with all things ugly broken or in general disrepair. Crooked signs. Dust. Wilting flowers. Misspelled words. Chipped formica. Dreary, homely people placed in very "public" oriented jobs or posts. It's so beyond my control, and therefore so very frustrating. Frankly, quite disappointing. I would like tomorrow to be filled with little aesthetic miracles to make my mind mellow. P.S. I'm adding this one to the lexicon...
