And I'm still having a lot of trouble getting used to my new prescription. Things far away look GRATE, super clear and crisp and almost disconsertingly so (like in those "objects in mirror may be closer than they appear" mirrors) but close up I am having a lot of trouble focusing mine eyes on the same thing, and when I do, even flat things look kind of 3-dimensional like mine eyes are doing those magic things that Emsk loves.
Got a lot of reading done yesterday, though. Finally finished "The Gentleman's Daughter", which was delightful. A good balance between academic theory and characterisation - these 18th Century womens' personalities really shone through. And got about halfway through Alain de Botton's "The Architecture of Happiness" which is just Katepr0n from end to end as I knew it would be.

I tried listening to Clipse on the tube today to try to rectify my mood, but it just made me feel more tense. Back to the new sloan then, which sort of did the trick (not quite all the way, tho).

I should have stuck with the Elizabethan Secret Service but it's oddly dry and academic for what should be an utterly intriguing (ha ha) subject.
New Sloan functions as topical anti-depressant. it is great that way.

Things I'd forgotten I had, even though I didn't buy them too long ago. It's funny the things that wear off. (Nathan Fake, Appliance) and the things that don't. (Espers, the Dandy Warhols)
I think that Welcome to the Monkey House is my ultimate musical anti-depressant. There is no way to be miserable listening to that album. Also, god, I had forgotten how much I shamelessly ripped off this album for early Shimuras stuff.
WOO-WOO! yeah. I am a scientist. I CAN LIVE ON SCIENCE ALONE-UH!!!

Or I might just buy loads of roses and give them out to single people in town. Maybe put my phone number round it. That could work!

Damn, listening to MP3s at work is making me realise all the stupid P's and B's I did not manage to edit out. MUST. USE. POP. SHIELD.
I always do now, but forgot to in the last sessions, and had to edit them all out by hand, which was PAINSTAKING.

a) an inflatable FP to sit at my desk and make it look like I'm awake and alert.
b) a nap.
