Next Stop Wonderland

Remember this movie?  It streams on Netflix now.  

That's Phillip Seymour Hoffman! 

Smith (Samantha's hot young boyfriend from SATC) makes a brief appearance too... This is an example of one of those amazing movies where by the end of the movie - magically! - the unattractive guy is totally dreamy.  Oh I love the music, too.

Still good after...omg..15 years!

GROW SOME BRAIN ALREADY

i think i hang out too much in "alpha" and "gamma"....spacey alertness?

i read that meditating for an average of 27 minutes/day increased gray-matter density in the hippocampus (associated with learning and memory, self-awareness, compassion, and introspection.), as well as  decreased gray-matter density in the amygdala (correlated with lessening of stress and anxiety).

here ya go, a Harvard study:  EIGHT WEEKS TO A BETTER BRAIN

anyone else out there?

do you get sunday night blues (SNB) like JV and i?  it's been a recognized condition for a few years now.  i had it and thot it was only me, then jv told me about her sunday night malaise, then i started reading about it all sorts of magazines, publications.  (mostly it was sunday blues cuz people had to go to work the next day, but hmmm, that doesn't apply to musicians---it should be "musicians' friday nite", fun and carefree, yet it's NOT.)  we used to have it covered going to see colin firth movies, planning on fighting it, being pro-active, but then JV moved to sf, boo hoo...
i even get it on three day weekends, how silly is that? 
that's just dumb.  any other sufferers?
