Life or something like it

listersgirlAlbum of the Day: Fighting and Onions, by the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir. I make no promises on the actual music, but I love the title.
Good:
1) Dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jeejeen and starfishchick last Thursday was fabulous. Jeejeen is awesome and funny (as if she could be anything else). She was also wearing a snazzy belt.
2) I finally got my Launchcast Plus to work, after a long phone conversation with Rogers, and now I am one of the cool kids. Not that I'm really doing anything with it, but I can skip to my heart's delight now.
3) I defrosted my freezer on Sunday and even washed the fridge while I was at it. It was an entirely painless process, except for the moment, while I was on the phone withvestra when the majority of the ice came off at once and flew across the kitchen floor, crashing loudly enough that I jumped and knocked my knee on the computer. That was painful.
4) Of course now I have a clean kitchen floor with very little work.
5) I bought MI-5 series 1 on dvd. It was used and cheap, I swear!
6) I am wearing an ugly brown dress with pineapples all over it. Yes, this is a good thing.
7) Oh, the year was 1778 (How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now). [Translation: I watched "Mountie on the Bounty" last night, which always makes me happy.]
Bad:
1) Our attempt at going for Persian food was thwarted once again, this time by the restaurant being closed for summer holidays.
2) I had other things here, but they've all ended or been fixed since I started writing this, so never mind.
I win! This is also a point in the good column. I'm not entirely...here these days (although I don't know where I am instead). There's a long weekend coming up, which is fabulous. I think I will hibernate (a decision made easier by the fact that pretty much everyone I know is escaping for the weekend) and pamper myself in ways that don't require spending money or eating junk food, and hopefully wake myself up a little.

Date: 2005-07-27 08:41 pm (UTC)I am wearing a sushi necklace right now, in fact.
Why don't you pick a day/time that works for you - I'm free all weekend, so anything works - and email me (listersgirl, gmail, etc)?
And yes, I would love the Pratchett.
