Feeling pensive or tired, who knows?

--Have had the flu over the weekend, so have had a lot of weird, weird dreams. Weird, pop-cult laden ones, ones where things and people are crashing into each other. I gave up trying to determine what was reality and fantasy afterawhile.
--So, I've only been like really functional since Wednesday with errands and work and so forth.
--There's a lot that happened before xmas and after. And am only just beginning to process strands of personal history, mine and others.
--Have been doing with school stuff some. The bill is just slightly more expensive than I feel a 1 credit research hour should be. Call me stingy.
--Other events of the last 2 days have just increased the surreality even further than it already was.
--Think I've got one of those bouts of nostalgia or the feelings that you get where you feel everything is changing around you. So two songs that I've been having in my head are Madonna's "This Used to be my Playground" (which is my go-to-one for these situations), "Our Last Summer" from Mamma Mia and Expose's "Seasons Change." So, my sappy side is ascendant. And I also heard U2's "All I Want" which is a very good song, but it's also such emotions laid bare. And was used prominently in Reality Bites. Which leads back to some of the nostalgia.
--Well, I think I'm going to stop before subject anyone further to my mood, and before I suffuse in sappiness some more. Am not sure that I've used suffuse correctly. Am probably just tired from the day.
