Oh Goodie thread (for Mike)

[Arianna]

dark chocolate with crystallized ginger and lemon. yum

[AquaFizz]

mmm..that sounds yummy!

Cinnamon chocolate is still my favorite. I think, actually, I'll go have my last few pieces right now!

Cinnamon chocolate-That's definitely an Oh Goodie! As is having an amazing friend who always keeps me in supply.

I'm going to Switzerland tomorrow

[Anita Blake]

I'm really good at my job. And, when I survive days like today with something resembling my sanity intact, I actually like doing what I do.

[jabbernaut]

I'm through with and received good kudos on the project that has been taking up all my time at work since the beginning of the year

... and I've got the next two days off!

Chuck Bass. Chuck Bass makes me swoon. Actually, Gossip Girl in general makes me swoon. It's so ridiculous. But, it's sort of smart and really funny dialogue. Mostly, though, I just love that Chuck.

I just paid my first car payment!!! ~bows~

[Mike]

My car appears to have incredibly good brakes; my head is still where it's supposed to be. And I'll leave it up to you to decide where that is...

[dark fuschia]

oooh this is like the anti rant thread.

I love my new wireless connection, this man phoned me and asked me if I would like it, and since I have been out of a regular internet connection for way too long I said ok. I had to verbally agree to a contract, something about giving them my soul and stuff, but it was worth it because this thing came in the mail and here I am in my own home talking to you people

I also have a collection of cheap dvd's with classic films on them. I pick them up from the newsagent when I see them, where they are almost as cheap as my newspaper (since lacking an internet connection I returned to buying newspapers). I have one hitchcock with five movies on it (all packed onto the same double sided dvd), two film noir dvds (a total of ten movies!) and some screen goddess and great director ones (Fritz Lang, Orson Welles, Ava Gardener and Hedy Lamore) anyway I seriously adore these and have only watched about a quarter of them so far, because like Anita, I have to wait until I am in the mood and remember them. When you put them on and you are not in the mood they can be hard to follow, because in those days directors didn't assume their audience had an IQ of 2 and often you have to read between the lines to fully appreciate what is happening within the plot. Some of them are hilareously outdated, yet an insighful portal into the times (Like "Dishonoured Lady") and some of them are absolutely timeless (like "The Trial"). Some, are astoundingly ahead of their time (Like Metropolis). All of them are extremely enjoyable. And thanks for reminding me Anita I haven't watched one in about three weeks!

[Buck]

something about giving them my soul and stuff

Did you kindly explain the irony of this to the person on the phone?

[Anita Blake]

And thanks for reminding me Anita I haven't watched one in about three weeks!

no problem!

And I am rather pleased. My mom took me to Yuk Yuks (a Canadian franchise of stand-up comedy clubs) and the comedians were great, the crowd was great, it was all around a pretty good time. Plus by then I was feeling much better from my unjustified hangover (which I suspect might have been more a symptom of exhaustion than over-drinking, as two glasses of wine hardly justifies the agony I was in all morning, unless one factors in the insane stress I've had all week at work...)

Plus, I went to a store to get some vanilla mist body spray of a kind I am rather fond, and they don't carry it any more! but the nice lady called the other stores in town and found one for me and is having it transferred to that store so I can go get it tomorrow! That, in my books is fantastic, because usually store clerks are so unhelpful, and I was totally willing to let it go, but she kept suggesting ways to make me happy, and then she did it, and now I can continue smelling vanilla-y! Huzzah!
