Song I have stuck in my head...

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along

The noonday train will bring Frank Miller...

So when I was pretty young, my favorite movie was this western called High Noon, about a man who quit his job as town sheriff because he was marrying a pacifist, but then it turns out his nemesis is getting out of prison that same day, with a likely goal to kill him.

So, at the risk of his marriage, he prepares to handle the situation, while his wife struggles with her principles. She ends up getting captured by the bad guy and his gang, and saved like a good damsel - after picking up a gun and shooting one of the men herself, and she put up a decent fight when captured, too.

I was really enamoured with Gary Cooper's character, even though he was really old. And Grace Kelly seemed so lovely and intelligent. And I always sang that one snatch of song, having never learned all the lyrics.

Anyway, here's the song as it is in the movie:

On a lighter note, High Tech Noon is silly fun, despite the bad dubbing.

Glucklichkeit braucht Arbeit.

So far today I've been severely depressed. Yesterday was mostly good, mainly because I was consciously pursuing happiness; on Saturday I arranged to hang out with Barrett and Katherine to cheer me up, and stayed over for Saturday and Sunday nights - I knew that I needed them.

But this morning I am in my own head again, and I keep crying, so I got myself a lot of chocolate to improve my breakfast. The chocolate bar is the kind with a love poem, though, and this poem is very apt for my continuing inner thoughts...

...love is not love which alters when it alteration finds...

Katherine asked me, jokingly, yesterday if I ever stopped thinking about Doctor Who, and I replied, "I either think of that or Jeff. Which would you prefer?" It's kind of true. One more conscious step against the dark.

I giggled yesterday at the thought... but it would have been terribly incomprehensible for them, when I was so apparently light hearted.
