Things I love Thursday


Skating in the park:
The Other day I had a wonderful skate date. Even though it started to rain, it was fantastic.

Nuevo Music:
I've been listening to a whole bunch of different remixes and artists. I just heard a remix of one of my favourite bands' song: "I think I'm paranoid" by Dj Rockie, and it's pretty good. If you can find it listen to it. Um...also the Benni Benassi remix of "never win" is amazing. It gets really good about 2 minutes in.

Easter Eggs:
I just decorated a whole bunch of easter eggs. I know that I'm a week behind, but I really like decorating eggs, and I didn't have time during the easter week.

Brushing things off:
When someone says something that they don't realize is insulting me, I love being able to just brush them off.

Patient people:
My friends and my family are so patient with me. I'm a little bit wacky, and there are times where my moods are so off key from everyone else's that when combined with my own obstinacy, I become almost intolerable. But I love how those who know me and love me are able to still put up with me.

Van Gough's painting "Boots":
that's probably not the title, which at the moment is slipping from my mind. But I love how even in a color copy, on a flat surface...you can still see the strong brush strokes. I wish I had that skill.

BBC Radio:
It keeps me occupied and I love listening to the news on the radio while I work. Sure it doesn't always have ALL the news, but it's at least something.

My computer:
I don't know how the damn thing hasn't just exploded. But it's doing a good job for me.

My office:
I know I'm extraordinarily lucky to have an office all to myself. Especially an office with *gasp* a door! I generally shut the door and do stretches or just gather piece of mind when I want to be left alone. Plus it's great to keep people from coming in that want to "chat". It's not that I don't like talking to them, it's just that I have a lot of work to do.

The free water that the office has:
I know this is going to sound so geeky, and almost cheap. But I love getting the free water. I don't trust the water in my apartment for drinking because I've noticed that I get nauseous when I drink too much water from my tap (despite the fact that I was reassured the water was safe). So I like to fill up my water bottles at the office here.

The extended Sun hours:
The equinox has passed and now the sun stays in the sky longer than the moon at night (equinox is when the day is split equally, 12 hrs of sunlight, 12 hrs of night). But now that the sun comes up earlier and stays out longer I can open my blinds and let in the light.

BimBimBop Lunch:
I don't know what it means, but it's a plate of various vegetables with miso soup and rice. It's delicious, and really filling. I save two days of lunch with just one purchase. Whoo!

Hot chocolate:
It's so delicious, and even though the heat is starting to push up. I don't think I'll give it up. I get cold easily in my office.
