Things I Love Thursday, er, Saturday
Jan. 23rd, 2009 11:52 pmI don't do TiLT as a weekly entry, although I would like to since I think listing what I love and am grateful for is generally a positive thing to do. But I spent the majority of this week in a haze of vague fear, frustration & (tmi alert) PMS, so the fact that today I just felt FANTASTIC is something to celebrate!
Thus: Things I Love Friday, Or More Likely Saturday By The Time This Is Actually Posted:
1. Obama. You knew I was going to start with this, because is there anything this man doesn't do? He issues orders to close Guantanamo Bay. He freezes pay on White House aides making more than 100k, & sets tight restrictions on lobbyists. He overturns the global gag rule. No, he's not perfect...but hey, I'm in the honeymoon phase. Oh, what a man!
2. Hot Waterbottles! Because I have my feet on one now, & they are just the loveliest things. My room has been fairly warm this winter (it's in the basement, for those who have never visited, & is often freezing), but still I make myself a hot water bottle every time I go to bed. Mmm. :)
3. Slings & Arrows. How could I possibly forget how much I adore this show? I hung out with Elsa this afternoon & we watched half of the first season, & oh--GEOFFREY. Marry me. Or, better yet--DIRECT ME. The show just makes me fall in love with theater all over again, even though I know I adore it. Speaking of fantastic theater...
4. Acting II, especially Sean W.S. & the fact that we're doing the Astrov/Elena scene from Brian Friel's translation of Uncle Vanya for the first assignment. Amazing classic play? Check. Best translation/adaptation ever done? Check. Hot, steamy scene with plenty of juicy moments, complicated actions & snogging? Check. Incredibly talented scene partner? Check. Oh yeah, baby.
5. Tanqueray Gin. Especially in perfect gin & tonics. 'Nuff said. :)
6. Libraries! I am going to the UW libraries to take copious notes on archival material tomorrow, & you know I'm in a good mood when I'm excited about that! Maybe I will get to take them to the Suzzalo reading room & take notes there. Mmmm....
And I saved the best for last, because, guess what...

leeann_marie is coming to visit Seattle!
I am utterly THRILLED about this, & have been spending a whole bunch of time thinking of places we should go & things we should do. Man. Expect some sputtery posts of glee as the day approaches, & tons of photos & blabbering when she's here (or perhaps just after she leaves, as we might just be too busy living it up!).
& there are so many more! But I will stop there, & get to sleep...tomorrow I will listen to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me & make cookies (perhaps that should be 8 & 9...) & so many other good things!
Goodnight, world. <3
