I just looked up a synopsis of The Last Five Years and ye gods is it depressing!

I'm going to bed. :(

It's REALLY good music though and a brilliant story.

Not to be heard during a funk though. Trust me on that.

I believe you... I wasn't in a funk and it still took me down a few pegs!

Ack! I'm sorry!

Yes, it is pretty depressing, but I love it to death for some reason. I blame the music, the conceit (the whole backwards and forwards thing) and the incredibly in-depth characterization.

And really, I'm so okay with depressing shit these days. It usually serves to remind me that my life just isn't that bad.

Me: Bleh. I'm feeling depressed.

*listens to Taboo/8

Me: BUT, I'm not dead from AIDS! So bonus!

Nod, it's depressing but it's still good!

And I guess part of the reason it is so depressing is that, unlike listening to a show about dying of AIDS, I can relate to this one. And hope it doesn't happen to me. Oh, I really hope.
