I'm in a weird mood today. I'm not depressed, per se, although I'm certainly not in a good mood. And I'm not really angry, although that's closer. Poetically speaking, I feel a kinship to the ominous storm clouds that have been gathering on the horizon all day today - weighty and tense and broody with a capacity to flash into violence that hasn't actually happened yet (and by violence, I mean a violent mood, not actual physical violence, so no intervention calls, please).

Meh. Hopefully tonight will be a slow night on desk and maybe I can come up with something to derail the sullen snappishness I feel coming on.

Have you tried music therapy? I don't know which buttons music pushes for you, or in what ways each type of music hits you. That said, for me, a bit of light, frothy, pop music usually helps diffuse storm clouds like that for me. Now, I'm not talking about some of the dancey-dance stuff... that sends me in another direction entirely but... well, anyway, you get the idea, yes?

I do. Unfortunately I'm one of those people who can't stand it when the music I'm listening to doesn't match my mood. So if I try to listen to light happy music when I'm in a bad mood it just makes my bad mood worse. Generally when I'm in a mood like that, I'll hole up in my room with some nice NIN or angry Ani and wallow for a bit. Didn't really have that option last night since I was at work.

I'm feeling a bit better today, so we'll see how that goes.

hmm... perhaps take a listen to "Feelings Are Good And Other Lies" by John Taylor

it's not the slickest, or best-made, or even best composed, etc album... but it's... let's just say I call it my therapy album and it's very cathartic

Interesting title. I'll definitely have to take a listen :)
