The weeks of summer are ineffably dull. I work. I eat dinner. I go for a walk. Maybe I read a little. I have a shower. I turn on the fan and go to bed. And then I do the same thing next day. Not quite as bad as Takuboku--

Working, working
But no joy in life.
Still staring emptily
at empty hands

--but close.

I would suggest a new author for you to binge on, but I'm not sure who to suggest.

Drugs, drugs, she sighs. A new author, a new fandom, would certainly alleviate la melancolie de vivre, but doesn't address the essential ill. Which is probably my version of SAD, that can be cured by a judicious application of September.

Just don't start hitting the cocaine in the absence of a good book. :)

The idea of cocaine does sound tempting at times-- o sweet cessation of pain-- but you can't have it for free at the library. And for what a hit costs, I could get a vintage Burgundy, with the similar results and no addiction.

Ahh ... the heat ... it's hot out there too, today. You can spend the day with my children if you like? ^_^

Then you'll go back to nice and mundane and be thoroughly glad for it. My children will cure anybody's need for excitement. I'm just joking of course.

*HUGS* - hope the melancholia flutters away. September is sort of soonish.

Thanks for the offer. ^_^

August is sooner. I usually feel better in August.

You too, huh? I have no energy lately--probably because of the heat and also probably because I recently decided to cut way back on the amount of pop I drink.

Can you use genki drinks instead? Oronamin C is all that got me through Tokyo July, which is as nothing to Tatebayashi July.

I recently started drinking Aquarius (I told Kagenami I cannot drink Pocari Sweat since I just can't bring myself to drink something called "sweat"), and I find it helps somewhat. Aquarius Vitamin Guard has extra C in it and tastes a bit better than the regular stuff. Wish I could find Gatorade, but nobody seems to have it out in sticksville here.
