HATE EVERYTHING.

Music-related Whining
I'm sure this has something to do with that time of the month plus the endless need to study, but everything makes me depressed. The Prince Caspian soundtrack - which has been a staple in my mugging playlist - has suddenly become boring (!!) and I can't listen to Prisoner of Azkaban (the only HP one worth listening to, imo) without being sad. SAD. WTH now The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is on loop and I daren't touch Treasure Planet or Pirates because those might be too adventur-y, and I can't listen to anything else new (well there's always Little Women) because new = distracting.

UM. ANYWAY. For those of you who are less easily distracted/depressed, I uploaded a very old (circa 2007) R/S mix that I can't listen to right now because it's so bloody depressing.




On Other Things
Have moved back to my old study table in preparation for my sister's return (!!!!! YAY) - that, plus the fact that her table is the coldest spot in the room.

as promised, & just in time for a week of madness:

Polder

After the sudden outburst and the squalls
I hooped you with my arms

and remembered that what could be contained
inside this caliper embrace

the Dutch called bosom; and fathom
what the extended arms took in.

I have reclaimed my polder,
all its salty grass and mud-slick banks,

under fathoms of air, like an old willow
I stir a little in my creel of roots.
