Grass and Sky

Earlier this week, possibly on Wednesday, when I was having the worst day ever, slightytookish gave me some icons to explain in the current icon meme going around.

( My icons, let me show you them )

I watched the most recent two episodes of Supernatural today. I seem to have trouble watching it on air lately (partly due to playoff season, partly due to falling behind and then not watching because I'm behind, thus falling even farther behind). All I can say is just, dude! I cannot imagine what next season's running theme is going to be, after this season.

Related to that, I was talking with a friend this morning and we were discussing the movies and shows we like. She has only watched one or two episodes of Supernatural, from season one, and didn't have a very positive impression of it. "Too campy," she said. "I like my main characters to suffer." I may have laughed in her face. I told her she should give it another try. Get through season one and watch the suffering start piling up in season two.

My eyes glanced over the headlines as I opened up my homepage, and this is what jumped out at me.

Clinton unveils initiative to combat 'scourge of piracy.'

WTF, I wonder. Are we revisiting the eighteenth century and no one told me? I've been wearing all the wrong hair!

Now, I realize that since the pirates started grabbing, or attempting to grab U. S. ships, it's become this big issue, but this quote sort of sums it up for me.

"The modus operandi for a lot of countries and shipping companies up until now has been, 'OK, they hijacked the ship. They get it into port. Nobody's harmed. We pay a ransom. We've done a business calculation. so that's the way it is,' " she said.

Read the full article at CNN.com.

Anyway, moving right along. I believe it's day 8 of the happy meme.

One, the Penguins beat the Flyers 4-1 tonight. Damn good start to the playoffs.

Two, I watched the game at a Martini bar with eve11, her boyfriend, and another friend of hers from work. I had a violet martini and now, I'm not familiar with martini bars and martinis in general so I don't know if this is the norm when serving them, but I've never seen it before. We got a martini glass with the drink, and then another serving of the drink on the side, in a cute little glass nestled in a bowl of ice. So, although the drink price was high per drink, it was actually not any more expensive than the mixed drinks I normally get, since it came with two servings. Plus, it was very yummy. Happy making, you could say.

Three, my taxes are done and I'm getting a refund so all is well with the world.

Four, sad babies stopped crying when I came into the room and picked them up. I'm just naturally awesome that way.

Five, 'scourge of piracy' just made me laugh like nobody's business. You go, Hilary. Fight those pirates!

I seem to have forgotten to do my happy meme yesteday. So, better late than never, right?

Happy meme day #6

One, I spent the morning lazing in bed reading a good book, To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis.

Two, I had yummy pizza for supper. Mm, pizza.

So, not as much happy as most days, but mainly because I just didn't do anything other than laze around reading, and then babysitting, and then lazing around reading some more. End of day.

Happy meme day #4

One, new Doctor Who today. It's downloading now, no idea how long it's going to take but at some point tonight I'll be able to watch it (at the moment it's saying something like 40hrs to dl, but I'm confident it will pick up soon).

Two, I finally got up the courage to get my hair colored at the salon. It's a lovely reddish brown now, darker than my natural color but really pretty. It was a little bit of an overwhelming experience at first, because I really didn't know how to choose the right color, and almost made a monumental mistake by going with a color that would have looked very artificial (nothing wrong with that except it's not what I want). Thanks to a very patient consultation with my stylist and two other people at the salon (one of whom I suspect was the manager) we were able to figure out exactly what I really wanted. It's a much richer color, and all the grey is gone, yay!

Taken from too many people to mention, but you know who you are.

Google "your name needs", with your name replaced by your real name. Post what you find you need.

I guess it pays off to fiddle with how I present my screenname. When I entered it as auntiemeesh I got married off to Brandon Boyd, whom I've never heard of.

I did one for erpjirl too, but it was pretty boring. People saw me as 'normal'. What's the fun in that, I ask?
