Things I'm Currently Enjoying:
*My back feeling better--I got a full night's sleep last night, for the first time in a week! I'd almost gotten used to the 'up from 4 to 5, back to bed once the painkillers have kicked in, feel groggy next day' routine.
* 'The Last Lion', a biography of Winston Churchill. It's probably the best biography I've ever read--catty, informative, wanting to make sure you fully understand the society that shaped him. It's amazing. I not only know exactly how Winston's father contracted syphillus and that his mother was one of the Prince of Wales's mistresses, I know what it means when a butler stands in the hallway an hour before dawn and rings a gong. I've also learned that while money can't buy happiness, money and power and privilege? Dammmmmmn, they do a pretty good job.
*The way Kate Bush says 'sensual' in "The Sensual World". "Sen-syoo-al". Yum. Certain lines can just make a song, like A-Ha's "You're all the things I've got to remember", or Bono alliterating "colors clash, collide in bloodshot eyes"...but when a single word hits it out of the park, it's really something.
*World of Warcraft! The environments are so fun that I keep creating new characters just so I can roam around and explore more of the landscape. At this point I have a Dwarf, a Tauren (minotaur), a human, a Night Elf and an Orc, levels ranging from 2 to 10, and it's a hoot. Now if only my computer wouldn't get laggy every time I enter a big city, or other place where there's a lot of movement going on...and sometime I need to figure out the chat channels. And combo points. And why the trolls have Jamaican accents.
*All of y'all. I have the best friends ever!

WoW geekitude ahead...
Chat channels: Turn off or on by typing /join or /leave, and then the channel name.
Combo points: Only a concern if you're playing a Rogue. Some combat moves add a point against a target; others spend what points you've accumulated to dish out additional damage.
Trolls with Jamaican accents: It's cos dey originally from de Islands, mon! :^) Hey, all the Dwarves in WoW appear to be Scottish, so why not...

Before you log on, tell your girlfriend goodbye, and that she'll see you sometime next year when you resurface as a level 40...

Have you heard Kate Bush's new CD? The reviews have been good, but since I bought a copy for Arne's birthday, and that day has not yet come, I haven't heard it yet.

(wow that was so *gay* in the not homosexual, but just g-a-y sense of the word... I just hope Wambolt never sees that... but it *is* true)
