Felt the beginnings of a long-term bad mood brewing today, so dug out my emergency copy of The Shawshank Redemption. I try not to over-use this particular video for fear of diminishing its uplifting effect on my mood, but was happy to find it worked well today. More immediate alternatives to Shawshank for producing the same effect are the YouTube clips of Man United winning the 1999 European Cup or David Beckham's free kick against Greece to send England through to the 2002 World Cup finals, both in injury time. A more drastically cheery film would be It's A Wonderful Life, but this actually tends to move me close to tears and luckily I haven't ever been forced to use it for mood-adjusting purposes - I think I'd have to be dumped by Scarlett Johansson via a text message in the aftermath of a World Cup final defeat by Germany, on penalties, possibly accompanied by my cat being run over, to warrant a cheering-up of that magnitude. Have you watched it? It really is that heart-warming.
Tonight I am listening to early Weezer and a variety of Leonard Cohen. It's been a while since I bothered to post anything other than text, hasn't it? Well, here is a photo of me sitting on my bed, watching The IT Crowd on DVD - evidence that I could do with a haircut.
