Loves da video for so many reasons: loves the white clean stage floor, loves the ocean background, loves the snowing, loves the melody, loves the lyrics, loves James Blunt melancholy look with his hair all wet from the snow before he took his shirt off (way too skimpy), loves how he places his belongings so neatly before he jumps off the stage and commits suicide.
The video is just so simple, clean, minamalistic yet so moving.
On the side note.. I was wondering this morning if I was too hungry or if I had heartburn, so after enjoying my lunch I came to the conclusion that I had heartburn. Crap..where do u find tums in China? Anyway.. why is heartburn called "HEART"burn? It has nothing to do with your heart. Why isn't it called "Tummy"burn or "Stomach"burn? Nonetheless, I do feel kinda melancholy today.. I wonder if its coz of my burning heart. Urghhh... I haven't had this type of indigestion since I ate a 14" pizza by myself in Grade 8.. Ouuuuuuuuuucccccchhhhhh...

10 Most Frequent Causes of Heartburn (adopted from http://heartburn.about.com/cs/causes/a/heartburncauses.htm)
1. Coffee, tea, and other drinks that contain caffeine
Caffeine can relax the LES, allowing stomach contents to reflux into the esophagus.
2. Chocolate
Chocolate contains concentrations of theobromine (a compound that occurs naturally in many plants such as cocoa, tea and coffee plants), which relaxes the esophageal sphincter muscle, letting stomach acid squirt up into the esophagus.
3. Fried and fatty foods
These foods tend to slow down digestion, keeping the food in your stomach longer. This can result in increases pressure in the stomach, which in turn puts more pressure on a weakened LES, allowing reflux of stomach contents.
4. Tomatoes and tomato-based products
These foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
5. Alcohol
Alcohol relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. It also increases the production of stomach acid.
6. Tobacco
The chemicals in cigarette smoke weaken the LES as they pass from the lungs into the blood.
7. Large meals
A full stomach can put extra pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which will increase the chance that some of this food will reflux into the esophagus.
8. Citrus fruits and juices
These foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
9. Eating within 2 to 3 hours prior to bedtime
Lying down with a full stomach can cause stomach contents to press harder against the LES, increasing the chances of refluxed food.
10. Wearing tight fitting clothing
Clothing that fits tightly around the abdomen will squeeze the stomach, forcing food up against the LES, and cause food to reflux into the esophagus. Clothing that can cause problems include tight-fitting belts and slenderizing undergarments.
Note from DB: Keep some antiacids at work. Stress causes poor digestion and reflux. "Apple remedy" helps too!
