Things that help my mood right now
Random list of things to help get over a broken heart:

Turn It Around - Husker Du. Just listened to this for the first time, and it struck a chord. (/resists temptation to make 'chord' joke).

Emails from my mother, telling me about the times she went through the same thing. "It hurt at the time, especially as I was away from home in a strange town. But if that hadn't happened, neither would you".

Paul Kelly, lyrics to Bradman: "they say the darkest hour is right before the dawn/and in the hour of greatest slaughter the great avenger has been born/but who then could have seen the shape of things to come/in Bradman's first test he went for 18, and for 1". (It makes sense to me, OK?).

This article - a truly awesome piece.

Buddhist meditation and philosophy. They have good things to say. The classes I'm attending leave me happier and calmer. Bodh Gaya Buddhist Centre (Manners Mall branch).

Badly Drawn Boy singing "sometimes you've got to rewind, to go forward" (Have You Fed The Fish?)

Personal blog for miscellaneous rantings, to keep the trivial stuff out of my serious blog, which is all about library and information science "stuff". Check my profile for more about me.
