Day 4 (less bad)

While looking for reinforcements, I stumbled upon this from Wm Burroughs:

...disintegration of self-image often results in image hunger. Billie Holliday said she knew she was off junk when she stopped watching TV. An addict has little regard for his image.

Even with this mantra running through my head, I still needed a dose, so I rented "Lost in Translation". I'd remembered seeing it with my ex/demi-girlfriend (who moved away last fall) in the cinema and feeling its effects for days afterwards. I watched it just now and I think it'll get me through whatever hard times lay ahead over the next few days.
