Things I like today.

[saxikath]

Work is being depressing, so I thought I'd try and be positive a bit.

Things I like today:

• Finding Men Without Hats songs on iTunes. (Yes, I like my 80's synth-pop. So there!)
  
• Seeing other large-size women at the gym, showing off what their bodies can do.
  
• The cheery daffodils in a coworker's office.
  
• The silver and turquoise jewelry I got in Ecuador.
  
• Dancing.
  
• Knowing that someone's left me valentines.
  
• Having pancakes and bacon for supper last night (Shrove Tuesday).
  
• Regardless of its outcome, the evening spent watching the Super Bowl with a roomful of geeks.
  
• Browsing the web wistfully looking at costumes.
  

What do you like today?

The last movement of Beethoven's 7th.

Oooh yeah. What recording(s) do you like?

[cnoocy]

I have the BBC Symphony Orchestra one that was a free download a few years back. Noseda conducting.

I grew up with a Bruno Walter recording, but recently I've been listening to the Kurt Masur / Gewandhausorchester Leipzig one from the '80's. I still haven't found my ideal performance.

A few years ago, someone posted a screencap of the iTunes store's "helpful" search suggestion when Men Without Hats came up blank. I believe the store asked, "Did you mean Me without Hits?" Thanks, but I prefer my music shopping without the editorials.

I like having 33 giant bins filled with stuff ready to GO and bunches of small ones.
I like being able to do my (non-paper) dishes by throwing them away.
I like the fact that I just took 8 ginormous bags of stuff outside that I never have to look at again.

I've got The Safety Dance on my iPod.

How did I forget to download that one! Thanks for reminding me!

And now I've got The Safety Dance in my head. :)

Sax, I also had pancakes for dinner last night. Well, crepes, actually, provided by my resident Brit. That was still making me happy today.

I like that the presidential nominees still haven't been decided. The peopoe in those late-voting places will know that they really do matter, and that their votes really do make a difference.

Today, I like
Learning to juggle
The weather being in the 60s
Knowing how nice it will feel to take a nap when I get home from work
Finding out what other people like today.

Today, I like:

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

- going fabric-shopping over lunch to find black silk (for lining a dress)
- that my boss is 'working from home', and my co-worker's at the other office, and I'm low on orders, so I'm kicking back and reading fic online..
- thinking about how I'm going to cut my new Regency ballgown (tonight's project)
- my iPod mix, which has just played me a random assortment of Lee Presson, Great Big Sea, Loreena McKennitt, and Diana Krall that worked really well to lift my mood.

- knowing that Obama is still alive in the race
- our new dining room chairs, which are so pretty and were so cheap
- anticipating upcoming trips to Phoenix and New York
- an optimistic post like this one, thanks!

[cecilmom.livejournal.com]

- that Ragnar got through 8 drills today (a new record), even if one didn't go too well
- that Janders laughed in her sleep for the first time
- that my mom is here helping me with the kids
- that Squonk has new games to play for his b-day party on Saturday
- that I have such a great bunch of friends in the LJ community

• knowing that there's lots of garlic in the fridge
• thinking about how my mom will smile when she gets the thank you bouquet that Ed & I sent her for hosting us at her place in SoBe this week
• going out with a guy who suggests getting my mom a thank you bouquet
• having friends who, when they get a bit down, don't go all emo, but rather suggest that everyone write about what makes them happy
• not having to write next year's mystery hunt
