let's play "3 spiffy things" - GO →[More:]

What are 3 spiffy things in your life right now? (Could be anything, really):

1) this Justice album.

2) the weather in lfr-town today.

3) This article; looks like it was FPP'd on MeFi last week (with obligatory exceptionally helpful comment analysis by Malor) but also captured in my google reader.

1. Singles Ladies (Put a Ring On It). I am going to learn that dance if it KILLS me. And it might. I'm better today than yesterday, though.

2. A quiet day at the office- so far, anyway.

3. Being almost done with my Christmas shopping. Ok, so I still have a lot of actual shopping to do. But having gotten my Mom's gift first, it's all downhill from here. Weeeeeeeee!

1. I just finished the microcard research and report. I just need to quit being worried and send it out already. (I fear the shitstorm that is going to occur once people realize that we have super rare shit here.)

2. Twilight movie Thursday night!

3. The Tylenol I took seem to have minimized my ass pain significantly. (I'm pretty sure I bruised my tailbone after falling down some icy stairs this morning.)

1. Mr alto is going to pick me up from the library and then we are going to find some dinner, either at home or elsewhere.

2. My dad has announced his wish for a particular Christmas present for the first time in a couple of decades, which has caused his family much relief.

3. I have a metric crapload of work to do but am making progress, and am playing viola for money tomorrow which will provide light relief (and financial reward, and lunch).

1. My violin lessons.

2. My new cell phone.

3. My cuticles, which are not as cracked as they were last week.

ach! sperose! I'm terrified that's next on my agenda, after my year (or three months, give or take, a couple of months ago, plus near-misses since) of living dangerously (falling, scraping, shredding, ripping, bruising and otherwise maiming my lower extremities). I hope you're okay!

1. omg, cute dog! We had her groomed today, and I will probably fail to avoid making a post about it, but first I need a photo and it's too dark to do anything good right now. CUTE!

2. V. and I went shopping for some stuff for him (desperately needed) today, and we had it all wrapped up inside an hour, and spent half as much as we expected. Plus? Beers.

3. He's had the last three days off, so we've been reveling in a bit of relaxed home joy.

1. The weather today as lfr says is spectacackular. Plus, it's a day off for me so I get to enjoy it with my pooches.
2. My Voigtlander Superb. (This photo isn't of mine, but one like it:

3. I get 13 days off after my next 4. WOOT!

1. I leave for Madagascar on Thursday. Woot!

2. Because of the trip, I move on up to the Platinum level on American Airlines. Not so woot because considering I will have flown more than 50K miles on them, Platinum level just means you get to board early and maybe get upgraded once in a blue moon.

3. I'm getting a major haircut tonight - at least six inches cut off. Woot!

a) Going to Madison for a job interview next week!

1. New Team Fortess spray. After discovering PETA's twisted version of Cooking Mama, I just had to turn it into a spray.
How edgy

2. I'm continuing my NaNoWriMo novel, despite me being several days behind and I probably won't finish it. Question, what is a good indicator I should drop out? I'm at 24K words right now.

3. I discovered Flight of The Conchords recently, great stuff.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, most people that hear I'm doing NaNoWriMo either think I'm nuts or don't know what I'm talking about.

OH! and the REALLY spiffy thing for this week is that I went to a coffee shop with a friend for lunch yesterday, and found the tea cup and saucer for my set at home. I had a teapot, sugar bowl and milk jug, now I have the matching cup too! :)

1. Garrison Keillor's a fine writer.
2. Frank Capra and Michel Gondry - the alpha and omega of the directorial world.
