I swung by this evening, and I see some angst on the wall.
Something called Brahms seems to be causing you some pain. I’m not sure what the issue is, but I do remember when I was a wee angsty black clad adolescent egads, I might have worn out a Brahms Concerto cassette tape by playing and rewinding it in an incessant rotation with my favorite Cure cassette tape in my handy Walkman. (Some of you might have to google that, but just know I’m old, and way back in the day we had to deal with flipping over the tape and making sure you had spare AA batteries on hand at all times. Kids these days with their fancy Spotify have no idea how difficult we had it.)
Anyways… want to counter the angsty Brahms brouhaha?
Might I suggest Into the Ring?
Just do it. You will thank me. I promise.

But sometimes we just want to make drama choices that make us sad. And then sit in our rooms alone and cry thinking about it. Seriously. This one is a downer.
*Teenage depressed CS had a cassette tape that was the Cure on one side and Depeche Mode on the other side. I was tons of fun.
Oh you didn’t have Joni Mitchell on tape along with James Taylor? Oh and I had tons of tapes with Bonnie Raitt that I listened to endlessly. I just never understood Depeche Mode
Oh, I cried plenty of nights to Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor, too. I was an equal opportunity depressive! Right now, I love a cover of “I Can’t Make You Love Me” that Bon Iver does. It’s beautifully heartbreaking. 🙂
It’s much more depressing than Chocolate – so much so that I’ve thought about how much fun it would be if someone would just put anti-depressants in the water. I’ve hoped for a well timed ToD many times to bring some fun to my viewing experience. I’m waiting to finish this angst fest and then I’ll bring some joy back by finishing Into the Ring.

First big non-local band concert: Depeche Mode
I was also super fun.

This one is over powered by depression and a lack of screen time for side characters that aren’t horrible people.

BUT, but there’s no other “Into The Ring”. I am in a total slump after FoS.
All I want is something as delightful as Into The Ring – but none around. It has set the bar too high now.

“amazingly talented” You flatter me, egads.
I’m the type of person who drops a drama as soon as it annoys me too much.
You know what drama never annoyed me?
Into the Ring~~~
