kjpepper: (what is love (random))
So Chiquitita's assignment for this week is to try to turn my line of thinking around, because by default I'm pretty negative. As I was combing through a few entries from this time last year I rediscovered that I tried to do this then, to list Five Awesome Things about today or the day before. So in an effort to do my homework, and to not get pulled into my usual pits of negativity, I'm going to resurrect that.

So. Five Awesome Things about yesterday.
  1. Getting prints made of a picture I took of a client and her partner and having them come out AWESOME. Also going to Iris Photo is always a treat.

  2. Getting to add a cute little summer dress to my wish list for a) when I have money b) when I'm a wee bit smaller.

  3. Going to the gym with [livejournal.com profile] morlock. I don't know, even if you're not doing the same things, it's always nice to have company. Also discovering that while the rowing machine is not for wussies, I am not as wussy as I initially thought.

  4. Annie's shells and white cheddar, with a can of tuna dumped in. So disgustingly artery cloggingly delicious. Also: steak.

  5. Thursday night TNA Impact with [livejournal.com profile] sydneycat and the Japanfan. Damn him, now all I want to do is set my creamer on fire just to see if he's right.


And today is Friday. Work, gym, weekend, and hopefully the getting things done. Hopefully. We'll see.

1) Reality TV. It, by way of [livejournal.com profile] sydneycat has warped my fragile little mind. Not only is it a fabulous exercise in schadenfreude (what rocks are they turning over to find some of these people??), but it makes excellent background noise when crafting.

2) How Clean Is Your House? Check this out sometime if you have BBC America. Basically two wonderful biddies, one of which with an improbably bleached updo (how does she have any hair LEFT) go into people's terrifyingly nasty houses and spend a good part of the show being horrified by the state of it (with accompanying horror movie music), lecture the owner of the mess, take bacteria swabs of the grossest areas, and then spend the rest of the show making the place habitable. Fabulousness of the show is only compounded by the ladies' lab coats and feather trimmed cleaning gloves, and the disaffected VO narrator.

3) The Glamazons. For those of you that don't watch America's Got Talent (I'm suspecting that's all of you) they are four gorgeous chubby women who just got voted through to the finals. Their singing needs a bit of polish, but they've improved vastly since their first appearance. And they perform in fishnets and corsets. Did I mention they are cute as hell?

4) The Singing Bee. Because the concept of a game show based on how well you know song lyrics is totally for the win.

5) Shark Week promos. Holy crap, how has the Discovery Channel AND Shark Week been around for 20 years.

And some extras today:

6) Scrubs. I know I'm late to the party but we keep catching it on Comedy Central these days and every single episode has a serious splorfle moment.

7) Cities of the Underworld. Send one of two seriously overcaffinated dudes with appointed guides into the fabulous labyrinths of things that exist beneath what is now the surface of our world. Ancient cities, tunnels used by the Underground Railroad, secret basements beneath skyscrapers, that super secret power plant stashed under Grand Central. Spend half an hour filming them exclaiming how freaking AMAZING it all is. Broadcast it on the History Channel.

1) MANLY CHICKS. 2 years ago I got to confirm that I indeed look quite hot in a tux. Happy anniversary, [livejournal.com profile] sydneycat and [livejournal.com profile] morlock!

2) Paying for stuff with doubloons dollar coins. They're shiny and gold, thoroughly confuse people who don't see them very often, and I always feel faintly piratical when buying mundane things with them. Yarr, that'd be a medium coffee, and don't ye be chargin for a large, or ye'll be walkin' a short path t'Davy Jones' Locker. Arr.

3) Cats. It must be a survival tactic that they're so damn cute, otherwise I would have probably brutally slaughtered Valentino when he jumped into bed with me at 6:30 this morning and started being an unholy nuisance of love. GRRR. Oh well, I love him anyway.

4) Today's weather! It is 64 degrees and overcast! Mmmm. It'll go up to 83 later, but that's perfectly okay.

5) A good workday in the making. Nothing like coming to work knowing that you will be working on Awesome Project #2. :)

And now some coffee, some work, some techno, and some staying positive. Maybe. We'll see how that goes. And whether #5 stays awesome.
