The sound of emily's thoughts

For various reasons, I'm feelin' down in the dumps today. I guess I just need to find a way to pull myself out of this mudhole of self-pity and ennui. Oddly enough, listening to the Wierd Al's song, "You're pitiful" made me laugh and I felt better immediately. After all, that's what I was doing, feeling pitiful and there's no medicine better than self-deprecation.

I watched a Korean soap opera recently. The guy in there is really not the hottest sexiest most desirable thing I've ever seen, but for some reason, I was oddly moved by this guy. If someone like him walked into my life right now, I'd marry him in a heartbeat. There's just something about him that struck a chord in me. His name is Ahn Jae Wook. I would have too much fun with the name Wook, for one thing.

Lately a cold spell has fallen over the East Coast. It's man vs nature as we hunker down, grit our teeth and try to get through this bitter chill the best as we can. The cold weather has effectively dashed all my last motivations to do anything outside work however. As soon as I finish work, I make a mad dash for home. In the morning, I make a mad dash for work. I feel like a lemming.

Perhaps I should go swimming. I bought a new swimsuit, it's red and very sporty. I feel like an Olympic swimmer in my new swimsuit. I feel like I could be the Guardian. Anyone saw that movie? It's classic Hollywood cheese, with words like, "So that others may live" that play at the end of the movie to music that is grand and uplifting and sorrowful. It jerked two tears outt of me while I was strapped to my seat at 30,000 feet. Sniff...

Hm...I think I'm just in a funk right now.

Viola, give me some anti-funk ideas. In the mean time, I have to say I feel tons better after having a good hot meal. =)
