Meme-thing

I'm bored and incredibly flat and feeling like all I can see is the negative in things today. So, in an effort to pull myself out of that, here's the challenge:

Tell me something positive about your life. Today, yesterday, the past week, something you like about yourself, something you saw, heard, read or watched. Post in the comments here or post in your own journal.

Anyone who says anything along the lines of "I can't think of anything because my life sucks!" will be smited. There's always something, even if it's the fact that today it's sunny in Toronto, clear and crisp and I'm planning to go get a veggie hot dog from the vendor outside my building and sit in the sun and read Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors for a while.

I also finished my outstanding filing.

Yeesh

Not a good day for my co-workers, it seems. Esther and Bibi just had a catfight in the cubicle across from me. Gah.

Rossi's Friday Five Songs Post

Been a while since I did one of these.

Today's theme is "music which is much better than Nick Cave to listen to when you've had a bad day."

"Brain Damage" by The Waifs - I really want Johnny to learn this one, which means I need to give it to him. *wry*

"Dive" by Christine Anu - new version of the David Bridie song I got from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] when I was visiting. A new one to the list, but I really like this version.

"100 Hundred Flowers In Bloom" by David Bridie - speaking of Mr. Bridie... I find it impossible to stay grumpy listening to this.

"Mr. Valentine" Johnny Devil and the Screaming Demons - and speaking of Mr. Devil... A Kevin Quaid song, but I prefer Johnny's version.

"Paloma" by Carbon Leaf - this one's very appropriate for me lately, and it's got a good beat to it too.


I also played Tara for the first time since I left. She always makes me feel better. :)
