Should still be studying
I was way more depressed than perhaps I should be when I read about the igloo shortage in the Arctic. I was beginning to get concerned that I was taking the news way harder than one could reasonably expect someone in my circumstances to take it. Maybe it's just because I'm an anthropology major, I thought, or maybe it's due to my medication.
In any case, I can't afford to be depressed today. I have an exam in less than three hours and I desperately need to study for it. I took a walk to the corner market and bought three candy bars, a huge bottle of water, and a blue book for the exam. Somehow I knew that CocoRosie would cheer me up on the way. I'm still rather unenthused about my day but at least I'm not obsessing about the well-being of Inuits I have never met.
My listening so far:
- The Go! Team: Thunder, Lightning, Strike
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: Howl
- CocoRosie: La Maison de Mon Rêve
- Man Man: Six Demon Bag
- Múm: Finally We Are No One
- The Decemberists: Castaways and Cutouts
- Einstürzende Neubauten: Tabula Rasa

I think I read somewhere - maybe the Washington Post - that it's physically impossible to be despressed when listening to CocoRosie. Angry, yes. Confused, yes. Blissful, yes.
Depressed, no.
I have to admit something shameful. I had never heard CocoRosie until "Beautiful Boyz". I only downloaded it because of the duet with Antony. Something stuck, though, because now I own both albums.
