Serenity NOW!

So, does anyone else just *need* to listen to PJ when you are going through a particularly shitty day? To wit: my commute to work, which normally takes about 12 minutes via bus, took 70 minutes including 45 spent waiting in frigid weather. FUN!
As soon as I got on the bus I just had to listen to "Unthought Known" and it made everything disappear, for at least a second.

When my husband and I get in fights or I get cranky around the house, he brings me my headphones and tells me to go to my happy place. (This is usually when I put on "Not For You")

Anyone else do this?

    Haha exactly!

    This and Amongst the Waves have been good to me of late, but sometimes all I need is to listen to Present Tense and things get better.

    I take the bus as well. It's about a half hour commute so I just pop in backspacer and close my eyes. Pearl Jam gets me through most of my days at work

    Why can't you all just be more like Lloyd Braun?

    My uncle died a while ago. I got the call first thing in the morning and my first coping mechanism was to get out of the bed & put on Man of the Hour. It helped. Serenity is exactly the word.
