leahbobetOkay, I've been bitching a fair bit lately. Mostly merited, yeah, but no way to live your life. So.
Good Things:
1) Dug up the first Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker EP and popped it on this morning. I forgot how much I freaking like this band. Six songs on the thing, and I like three and love two. And this is their first baby-steps tentative indie EP.
2) Avgolemono with brown rice.
3) I got to chat with several divisions and brigades of The People at the Merril Collection Christmas Cream Tea this afternoon, including some I haven't seen in a couple years at least. There was scones and cream and jam and the singing of Lovecraftian Christmas carols. I am incredibly fortunate to have such a large and goofy SFF community in this town.
4) Dominion had sea salted dark chocolate and Green & Black's on sale for cheap, and good pears and bananas too.
5) My purple bamboo shrug is over half done.
6) There is hockey tonight and I will listen to it on the radio and fill my apartment with the smell of cooking things.
7) My panelist rebate from Worldcon came Thursday like Money From the Sky (tm).
8) I know smart people who do cool things.
9) I got to write last night and it made me feel clean and sharp.
10) All those first-world conveniences we don't mention overmuch, like central heating, warm wool socks, apple-ginger tea, and this Internet, but nonetheless appreciate in a sincere way and not that mealymouthed way where people tell you to not complain because what you have could be taken away; which we appreciate in the way you appreciate a simple gift.
And you?
