There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

Mood evidently affects the operation of system 1: when we are uncomfortable and unhappy, we lose touch with our intuition. these findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on system 1 form a cluster. at the other pole, sadness, vigilance, suspicion, an analytic approach, and increased effort also go together. a happy mood loosens the control of system 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.

Gentle lady, do not sing sad songs about the end of love; lay aside sadness and sing how love that passes is enough. sing about the long deep sleep of lovers that are dead, and how in the grave all love shall sleep: love is aweary now.
