Well my mood never really crashed after that euphoric high. It has just fallen back to its previous, detached, vaguely melancholic low - but by no means a nadir.
So I don't really have much to write. I am revising European Politics for my exams. This isn't very interesting. I am reading the somewhat trashy high-fantasy novel A Shadow on The Glass by Ian Irvine, which is reasonably entertaining, albeit in a very cliché sort of fashion.
On a musical note, I recently overcame my long-standing opposition to growled vocals (or "death growls") in doom/death metal music - Paradise Lost has been something of a gateway drug from clean vocals to an acceptance of ridiculously deep growls - here is their song Remayn:
As a result of all this doom metal, I can now enjoy bands such as November's Doom, so far I especially like this dystopian picture of human reality:
...I do find it odd I have never made any music-related posts on here, since music is such a huge part of my life nowadays (last.fm). Here is another song to make optimists leave the room:
Perhaps I shall do more culture type posts in future.

About Me
- Cobalt
- A cynic, a nihilist, a pessimist. I'm socially awkward, I play chess, I like to read and I like foreign films - so a bit like a nerd but with less knowledge of computers and more excercise and friends and sunlight. I don't do much. I go out with my friends, I attempt to write novels and political/philosophy books, I listen to an obscene amount of music and watch films all the time. I also hate post-modernism. That is all.
