after the snow,i melt with you

you'd think with all the weird techie problems i've been having and a friend of mine's car starter conking out,that mercury was retrograde. but i'm pretty sure it isn't.

oy.msntv did an update which is supposed to improve things,but they didn't say what.ha. and i had to redo some silly little things because i think they messed up some cookies.anyhow. and i don't know if it's msntv's fault that i can only view my page text in black since i can change and see the changes for other things. anyway,i've got a support request in about that.

on the brighter side,i got a copy of one of my favorite all-time pop songs,'i melt with you' by modern english. i adore that song and it's one of the most perfect pop singles ever. i dont' even know how well known it is,because in the eighties i listened to a lot of alternative stations. if i hadn't,i wouldn't have been blessed to start listening to r.e.m. and gone to see them play in '83.

i got 'after the snow' which is the cd that 'melt with you' is on. the ubercool thing is that the cd has the 7" remix as an additional track,and that remix is so much better than the album track,and it's the version that i'm particularly attached to.so that was a bonus. i also like a lot of the other songs,which is great.

and in other good news,i called to make an appointment with a new therapist who is covered by my insurance and i spoke to her on the phone. she said she should tell me that she's very direct which i thought was cool. i told her i liked that. in fact,my last therapist was too passive. i'd say so,what can i do to improve my brain chemistry and/or cope better? and she'd shrug and say i was already doing the right things. well,i'd say not,since i've been dealing with depression for thousands of years. perhaps i'm not doing something right. it may be part brain chemistry,but i also think behavior and changes in thinking habits change brain chemistry as well,and i'd rather do it that way than get it from a pill,if i can. especially since my wellbutrin hardly seems to be working anymore. anyhow,i got a positive impression just by talking to her briefly. since she is direct,i'll probably end up getting mad at her and end up crying,but that's not a bad thing in therapy. it's better than the nothing that was occuring with the other therapist,whose method just didn't help me. and i have an appointment on monday afternoon,which is also encouraging.

so,as usual i'm writing and i should be getting ready for work,doing my brushing/flossing etc.. argh.

and i can't even talk about what's going on in the world right now.i feel helpless and useless in that regard.*sigh*

I love Modern English's 'Melt With You' as well! Gotta love those 80's hits.
I added you to my list.
Keep hope?

melt with you

I agree. I tend to think that brain chemistry and cognitive habits are related. I'm trying to think of my reasons for thinking that but my mind just went into low gear. :)

I like it when that song comes on the radio. :)
