Thirteen Moons and other things

Oh the joy of getting my income tax return back! I am now the bliss filled owner of an Ipod, which I've wanted for some time now, and a nice 'docking station' so it can be a radio/clock/ipod music station all in one. I think I may use this one upstairs in the bedroom and look for an even bigger one for downstairs

I heard what happens in Cold Mountain, and it was too sad for me. I can't read things that are too sad.

The yearning thing, though--it's very like the concept of sehnsucht http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sehnsucht. I found a similar kind of longing described in the short story "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald and in Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman.
