Hmmm. You know, what you describe in the past few days is how I felt in the last few months before graduating from college (almost a decade ago). A mental drifting, nostalgia, foreboding, anticipation, boredom, mild depression, restlessness.

I think it has to do with having no love right now.
The breakup with Jane must have been dramatic.
I feel for you, Justin.

There's some great short story by Hemingway (all of them?) where the protagonist is camping after going through a trying time. The guy is paying so much attention to everything he's doing. The frying pan. The eggs. Etc. I don't like to suffer but suffering sometimes forces us to live more in the moment, methinks. If the moment includes scantily clad babes (albeit computer generated), all the better! Safe travels!

postal service is goodness, but turn it off. there's no use in making bad things worse with depressing sunken music.
try ordering a good book, like mark driver's brilliant social commentary "just another empire" from his website http://blindwino.com/driver.html

I might have to disagree with shady. Sometimes, it just feels good to be sad and contemplative for a bit (just don't let it become a habit). On a lighter note, is it just me or does the "Max Pleasure" picture look like a (video-game-turned?) porno box?

such great heights, a recent favorite of mine as well. it's very repeatable, and though someone above might be right in suggesting that postal service is depressing, at least such great heights as a cheerful surface, yes? take care.
