jadesfire♥ I spent about an hour reading in Duke Humfrey's library last night. It's part of the Bodleian and looks like this. I arrived at 5.30, when the sun was streaming through the stained glass windows and making everything look beautiful. Then, just as I started to read, a choir started singing somewhere, and I honestly felt like I was in some kind of Oxford nostalgia film, complete with my own soundtrack. It was just one of those perfect moments, and I honestly couldn't have been happier. *sigh*
♥ Choir was awesome. Also, cheesier than a fromagier's, but awesome. We've got our Christmas concert on 12th December, for anyone who's in the area. I'll be doing a solo, but don't let that put you off ;)
- I'm very jealous of everyone already on Google Wave, because it looks shiny and exciting. Here's hoping the beta goes well and the rest of us can get in soon!
♥ I have a good feeling about work today, and home this weekend. Nothing I can put my finger on for why, just...an all round good feeling. Of course, that could also be because I've got my little light box on as I type this, and my big one has arrived for home. After some faffing, I think we've come up with a light set-up that's actually going to work for me - a lamp with a daylight bulb that comes on using a timer switch, a little LED light box under my monitor at work, and a big Lumie lightbox for the living room at home. The morning light is especially good, because we keep it on the windowsil behind cream curtains, which means that it's like waking up to a glorious sunrise every morning. Of course, it's a bit disappointing when I get into the living room and it's all gloomy outside, but that's what the big box is for. Here's hoping for a better winter.
♥ I've joined Bookmooch, which was recommended by a friend at work. Books are hard to sell on eBay, so I figure I may as well swap them for books I actually want to read!
♥ After a trip to the doctor's yesterday, I am officially 'fine', if in something of a catch-22 situation. I have a stomach upset, which means I need to be careful what I eat for hte next few days. I also have inflamation behind my kneecap which is intermittently very painful, and for which I should take ibuprofen. Which is notoriously bad for upset stomachs. ...yeah, I'm still working on that one...
So, today I am awesome because I am in a good mood. What about you, guys? How are you awesome today?
