“You Still Believe In Me”, The Beach Boys

Present outdoor gloominess aside, I feel the inexorable creep of summer, a season that I like to pretend to out-and-out hate, since it would be simpler, but which actually fills me with an achy sort of ambivalence, the yearning and regret of a young person undoubtedly wasting her youth, underlined by pervasive heat and missed opportunities for adventure compounded by the reluctance to leave my air-conditioned environs.

Anyway, the Beach Boys are pretty good, right?
