i feel weird and unsettled right now. it would be nice if, for just these few weeks of the holiday season, everyone could just put aside all earthly cares and spend time with family and friends and not stress about anything. but then i suppose our economy would come to a standstill, and that wouldn't be good.
i've been listening to a lot of
Modern Skirts and
Gabe Dixon Band (thanks, as always, to the inimitable Pandora.com) -- a lot of their songs have this wistful, almost sad feel that really seems to resonate with me right now. not sure if it's because everything's so up in the air and at the same time so stagnant, or because i'm lonely and i miss home and friends, or because i'm starting to realize that nothing will ever be the same.
