I'm fine, really. I'm just in one of those moods. Do you ever have one of those days (weeks or months, whichever is more appropo to your situation) when you've just kind of HAD IT? I have these "moments" every so often and I just have to let it play out, that's all. A little bit of anger comes after this hopelessness AND THEN, I'll be back to normal, whatever that entails. Sometimes the optimistic, sentimental shmuck in me needs a rest and this is a result of this respite.

In any case, there's this British chick, Lilly Allen, whose music videos we kept seeing on tv in Italy. I'm all about her music right now (especially this song below. Find it. Listen to it). There's a witty and sarcastic tone to her stuff that I can't get enough of. YouTube her videos. They're pretty hilarious.

All you crazy fools going to Vegas - have fun be careful! No one pull a Mark Wong PLEASE! All my friends planning weddings - it's gonna be okay, it'll be great! As for the rest of us, it's a long weekend, write a story, search for your glory, have some coffee, sketch something, watch dvd's - ENJOY!!! See? I'm fine. No need to worry. Everything's just...I'll let Lilly finish up for me...

Everything's Just Wonderful
by: Lilly Allen

Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental
It seems to me that it's spiraling outta control and it's inevitable
Now don't you think,
This time is yours, this time is mine,
It’s temperamental,
It seems to me, we're on all fours,
Crawling on our knees,
Someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it,
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage,
It's very funny cos I've got your f*cking money,
And I'm never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn't grumble,
I suppose that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Oh yes, I'm fine,
Everything's just wonderful,
I'm having the time of my life.

Don't you want something else,
Something new, than what we've got here,
And don't you feel it's all the same,
Some sick game and it's so insincere,
I wish I could change the ways of the world,
Make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay,
Doing what we do
Screwing who we screw

Why can't I sleep at night,
Don't say it's gonna be alright,
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise,
and not feel bad about it for days and days and days.
In the magazines they talk about weight loss,
If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss,
I know it's not the life I chose,
But I guess that's the way that things go

Oh yes, I'm fine,
Everything's just wonderful,
I'm having the time of my life.
