10 Things

1. I've been re-reading Harry Potter 7 as slowly as possible. I rushed through it the first time, and that was right when it came out, so I'm trying to really drag it out and get everything into my head. There are a lot of really intense points I had forgotten! (This all started b/c I re-read HP6 in preparation for the movie next month, and of course I then had to continue on in the canon...)

2. It has been raining almost constantly for 3 weeks. Very little sun, very little warmth. I resent the fact that I'm dealing with S.A.D. in what is supposed to be the summer.

3. I'm completely overwhelmed at work. Some people use that as a kick-off to really dig in and get shit done - not me. I shut down. I can't help it. The undertow only needs a little bit of hold before I let myself get dragged under. The combination of feeling crazed at work and depressed with the weather has got me seriously... well, under.

4. I didn't think I'd ever get addicted to Twitter... but it happened. Admitting it is the first step.

5. We have recently purchased a cable package that includes HBO and DVR. My life will never be the same.

6. On that same note, newest TV discoveries? True Blood and Rescue Me. And I'm pretty excited about Entourage starting back up next month, too!

7. K'naan's Troubadour is still holding my vote for best album of 2009. There are still plenty of albums out there for me to listen to, and half a year left... but this one is going to be tough to beat. If you like *good* hip-hop, you should check it out. Very eclectic.

8. My husband is the greatest person ever. I never wrote about my birthday (back in May) - he really made it wonderful. And he continues to amaze me daily. So, yeah. ::end mush::

9. My tomato and jalepeno plants are doing okay despite the lack of sunlight. I can't wait till I'm making salsa.

10. I bought this: http://tinyurl.com/4bnz3m Just waiting for it to show up in the mails!! I keep checking the order status on Amazon like it's going to change the shipping date.
