It's nearly 3am, we are very busy, I'm having my meal break and I'm listening to The Blue Nile on my ipod. The first three I could just about manage but when the Blue Nile came up on shuffle, I nearly lost it. I don't know if you are familiar with their music ( you should be!) but there is such an earnest forlorn yearning in most of their songs, and Paul Buchanan's voice is so sad, and frankly heart wrenching. I used to especially enjoy their music on a dark and wet night, on my old walkman - sometimes it feels so good to feel so sad. - Anyway It now feels like I'm the only person awake in the world, locked away in the sisters office, the only illumination the x-ray box!
Alone and forlorn ain't I a cheery little blighter!

"Ok buddy, uh, I was just tryin' to cheer us up, so go ahead. Put on some old sad bastard music, see if I care." - Barry (Jack Black) in "high fidelity"
