depression

I don't know what it is today, but I'm in a very bad mood today. And reading Alice Sebold is not going to make me cheer up. But I needed to get away from all this library literature, just forget my exam for a while and remember that reading is fun, something to enjoy.
I only have two more books to go from my list, though, so I should be happy. There finally is an end in sight. Disregarding the fact that I also need to read at least two years of library science magazines. See, I can't think positive today.
I finally got my David Bowie CDs back. That may sound strange, but for some strange reason he always fits whatever mood I am in. So today, even The world of David Bowie is kind of depressing, while I usually find that one rather funny.
Maybe I should get with my family. Or maybe not, as they probably just sit in the living room reading books, so I might as well read up here and not have my father get on my nerves simply by existing.

Bowie Therapy always helps me out.

I read "Lucky" last year and found it to be very interesting and powerful. I liked the fact that is didn't have the usual Hollywood ending. However, when the local community theater had a production of the musical "The Man of La Manchia" I found that the chapter about her summer boyfriend, and his obsession with Don Quixote kind of ruined my enjoyment of the musical. Strange, eh?
