mr breszny's prediction this week:
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Writing in *American Scientist,* professor of neuroscience Irving Biederman says that human beings are literally addicted to learning new ideas. At the moment when we grasp a concept we've been grappling with, our brains experience a rush of a natural opium-like chemical, boosting our pleasure levels. I suggest that you take advantage of this fact to get really high in the coming week, Aquarius. Your ability to master challenging new information is at a peak, which means your access to natural opiates will be abundant.
i wonder if i can work it so those natural opiates kick in on saturday and last until after my exams on tuesday....
and since i seem to be on a "post music from way way way way back in your distant past" kick, i figure i may as well keep doing so. if i could have, i would have put up an old cover version of this song by a long-defunct newfoundland band called the dervishes. nick rockel, older brother to childhood friends of ours, did this totally deadpan baritone version which was just brilliant. but that's lost to analog world, so this one will have to do...
katrina and the waves - i'm walking on sunshine

this is probably my most favourite "get happy" song *ever*. it is physically impossible to be in a bad mood whilst listening to it - and i don't care if that does make me ancient!!
i totally know what you mean! i was wiggling in my chair while i uploaded. :)
and it's finally sunny here, which makes it all the easier to feel like things are possible, y'know?
ahhh, but all things ARE possible - even if it doesn't always feel that way ;)
(at least, that's what i tell myself...)
I got a copy somewhere of the dervishes torturing that torturous song, I will find bind and send ya a copy. Which of Tristan little pissant friends were you? I may even have a live version of "99 Luftballons" as sung by Sir snively Hymens Chickenlegs the second aka nick rockel aka the nickster aka the tall goofy guy with the funny Adams apple. Little to drunk to be even typing right now, will just let it dangle off to nowhere right about he
