Pressure mounting at the office. Trying to drown myself in the familiar melancholy of sad music. A pretty dismal winter, up until my Birthday in late January. Up until then, the normal struggle with rejection was winning pretty handily. Since then a handful of things, elucidated elsewhere, although probably never published, surprisingly point toward what is at least healthy if not strong relationship. I've been thinking through the dichotomy of little things such as I crave actually occurring, but still feeling like any happiness is sure to crumble, and that whatever happiness I try to experience is unearned and short lived. Ah well. Much to deep for me. But it slightly informs this sad strain of music and how that feels comfortable to me.
Also on pins and needles for the Firefly lineup to come out. Could be today, could be any day really. Really hoping for St Vincent, Metric, and of course Arcade Fire.
