I'm having one of those days where I alternate between a firm belief that I must do thirty-eight things as soon as possible and an equally firm (yet clearly not stable) belief that anything I do is useless, utterly useless, and I may as well give up on it all right now. Firm, yet somehow unstable beliefs are such annoying little oxymorons. (In high school I once defined "oxymoron" as "someone who still doesn't know that Stridex fights pimples best," but that's neither here nor there.) It's almost as if my mind is bouncing back and forth between two universes: one where the state of the entire cosmos depends upon my efforts, and a second where I am powerless over even my own life. Neither of these universes seems to be intimately connected with the world my body's living in, so I'm trying to act as if what I do has just enough of an effect for calm, unrushed action to be worthwhile. Easier said than done. (Silly brain.)

Right then. I've got plans to do two things later today and I've decided I'll be happy if I manage to do both. gurdonark's mention of 801 in a post got me wondering if 801's music were available on Launchcast. It's not, but there's a fan station which plays old stuff by folks like Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel. Fits my mood reasonably well, so I think I'll listen until it's time to do something else.
