happy day!

the last 2 days have been really good. pleasant surprise, considering that it's getting darker each day and i'm getting more and more exhausted. (time to break out the light box, blecch.) but things have been going well, so my mood is not as dark as it usually is. *grin*

yesterday my manager was with me for the day. i was nervous as usual, but it turned out to be a really good day overall. and he gave me a huge compliment -- he told me that a presentation i gave at our recent team meeting "blew him away". that totally made my day. *grin*

but then, the day got even better... i picked up all the free boston weeklies to read last night, and when i opened one, what did i see? JAMIROQUAI IS COMING TO BOSTON!!!!!!* OMGican'tstanditi'msoexcited!!!!!!! tickets go on sale tomorrow, and i am SO there. i'm going to be jumping out of my skin all day now! whee! and let's talk about how tempted i am to see them a second time... they're going after that to NYC for a couple of days, god i'd love to get NYC tix make it into a little road trip!


*i would, however, like to take a second to blast ticketmaster for being lying bastards. they have a thing set up where you can get an e-mail if any of your favorite bands are coming to town, so you can get tickets... of course, i have jamiroquai on my list... but did i get an e-mail? NO. thank god i saw it when i did!

* edit: i just checked my e-mail, and they just sent me the stupid e-mail in the last 5 minutes. not too psyched about the one-day notice. but oh well.

Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have fewer than 50 interests, pick every fifth one, and explain it. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em.

alton brown - king of the tv food network. the fact that he makes cooking scientific makes me HAWT. *fans self* and he has a blender with flames on it. 'nuff said.

boston - um, i live here.

DDR - "dance dance revolution", if you've been living under a rock. the greatest video game ever created, and the center of many of my hotel-room parties at dance weekends a few years ago.

fashion - i like to shop. i like clothes that look cool, even if i can't buy them 'cause they don't fit or are too pricey. i just really appreciate self-expression through clothing.

karaoke - again, the center of many a hotel party. *grin* i need a few drinks to get the courage to do it, then there's no stopping me. and it's a great way to meet people.

mensa - i'm in it, i used to be on the local board, i don't go to any of the activities anymore. for some reason i keep renewing my dues, even though i don't connect with like 99% of the other members. maybe it's the DDR and karaoke.

queer eye - one of the best reality shows ever. i wish kyan would go straight so i could marry him. and mugsy, dallas, nando and larry created a stupendous website around it, "straight eye for the queer shows". i *heart* you guys for that.

shag - my favorite artist, and inspiration for my tattoo. i own 2 of his works, and covet all the others.

tattoos - i have one. now i am obsessed with everyone else's.

weight watchers - just joined. i'm psyched. we'll see.
