GeeCee's Not-Entirely-Original Miscellany

Meh. I've had better weeks. It's not been anything really major (other than the piggie), just a million little paper cuts.

Go Today has cheap minibreaks to London or Paris, and I'm half-tempted to book one for Thanksgiving weekend.

What does it mean that by picking just from songs I already have on my computer for a playlist called "Music to Mope By", I come up with 2.1 hours on a first pass? I think it means that I need to rip a lot more of my cheerier CDs onto this drive.

I'm not actually nearly as mopey as I've been for the last two weeks, I've in fact apparently got adequate amounts of cope for the time being; it just seemed like an amusing project at the time, to put aside for future wallowing. (Although never, ever again should "Pictures of You" be the last song I hear before going to bed.) Likely to stay on it:

• "Pictures of You", The Cure
  
• "Sleeping with Ghosts", Placebo (which is probably only mopey for me, for the same reason the previous song makes me sad)
  
• "Lover, You Should've Come Over", Jeff Buckley
  
• "A Man and a Woman", U2
  
• "Ever So Lonely/Eyes/Ocean", Sheila Chandra (not particularly mopey, but the sound fits well)
  
• "Sand in My Shoes", Dido
  
• "Tall Trees in Georgia", Eva Cassidy
  
• "Dance Me to the End of Love", Leonard Cohen (for which one could substitute nearly any Leonard Cohen song; he could be singing the "Sesame Street" theme and it would sound mournful.)
  
• "Love is Everything", Jane Siberry
  
• "Hallelujah", any of several versions
  

What else would you put on here? Probably there should be some Tori and some Nick Cave.
