I think I just did one of these, but I got tagged again and I am sick but cannot sleep anymore after a full day where I did almost nothing else. So.

( How many items do you think I can get out of 'prok' this time? )

1. My craft stuff is officially getting out of control. Attempts to organize it in such a way that it is all accessible and nothing is getting crushed by anything else have led mostly to hair-pulling frustration. But I shall yet prevail.

2. Chocolat is a much more engaging movie than I remembered. The only other time I saw it, I mostly came away ( Read more... )

Today's happy thing is something that very frequently makes me happy: reading online tutorials for craft and do-it-yourself projects that I may or may not ever actually get around to trying. As anyone who watches my del.icio.us can attest, I go through mad bookmarking sprees that inundate my list with pages about how to make things out of paper or ( Read more... )

1. Swish New Computer: I have a new computer. O.O I was scheduled to inherit thomas_a_kempis's old rig because he's buying himself a new one in order to more efficiently blow up virtual bad guys in Crysis, but somewhere along the line not_a_monk got Dad's old rig instead of me, and I got a shiny new computer for my birthday (which is nearly two months away but hey, no ( Read more... )

Sam-I-Am was good enough to send me some pictures of the kusudama that I made her for Christmas so that I could show you all what I've been doing with my Sunday afternoons, of late:

( Pretties! )

1. Hi, internet! I missed you! *hugs*

2. Sung: one mass for Christmas Day and two each for Christmas Eve and Holy Innocents. Am all sung out, yo.

3. On a related note, "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" and "Coventry Carol" are still two of my favorite things to sing ever.

4. green_tea_lady called my cell and sang "Blue Christmas" to my voicemail while I was ( Read more... )

1. Good thing I was mostly recovered from the stomach bug by Friday, since we celebrated not_a_monk's birthday that evening at the club where he goes dancing. I don't think I've ever been to a club, before, so it was something of a new experience. I actually went down and danced twice. I probably looked like a complete dork, but I try not to let that stop me ( Read more... )

1. My car works! I forgot to give this fact the glee it was due because it was somewhat overshadowed by OMG SURPRISE RADIO! But having a car that works is nevertheless awesome ( Read more... )

1. A disguise clever enough to get me past security at Sea World and into the penguin enclosure so that I can finally hug a penguin for realz ( Read more... )

1. So, yeah. We own a bookstore. I don't know where anything is except the sci-fi/fantasy and the crafts section, and I can only just contrive to conduct a simple transaction via the cash register without embarrassing myself, but. We own a bookstore! (Thankfully, Mr. Bill is way better at owning it than I am.)

2. All hail izhilzha, Harbinger of Rain, ( Read more... )
