(no subject)

This morning, on a whim, I went to look at the Icehouse website to see if there were any news. I found that the site has a new song available for download, with lyrics like

"my back to the wall
but I am not myself
I'm not responsible
shot up and shot down
I'm shot full of holes
I won't control myself
head full of chemicals"

From languagelog today I learned about the role of terminology in Japanese thinking about depression. Actually it's more about the role of terminology in marketing antidepressants, and quotes from this NYT Magazine article: "Did Antidepressants Depress Japan?"

These two things left me in a perfect altered state of mind for reading some of your journals today.

May we all find fulfillment and peace.

Oh, and great music.

And chocolate.

For the record

Though I've fairly frequently mentioned chocolate in recent posts, I haven't been in the mood for it lately. Strangely, I've been craving sweet foods which are not chocolate-related, while I'm usually pretty indifferent to non-chocolate sweets but have been known to munch on unsweetened chocolate to get my fix.

Anybody know if there's some hideous malady wherein the sufferer stops wanting to eat chocolate? I'm a little bit scared.
