Waiting for the Death SS reissues I ordered to get here.

I could watch hummingbirds for hours. You should put out a hummingbird feeder!

Organ records, wurlitzer, pipe, hammond, roller rink
Finding different foods my daughter likes

Ugly Things #36 except for a reviewer who thinks a compilation called Kenya Special featuring a dodgy ratio of Kikuyu rather than Luo benga is Nigerian & Ghanaian Afrobeat. Is that what all African music is these days to some people?
Wearing my tie dye jeans. Being able to walk when my knee hasn't swollen.
The interval between coughing & sneezing bouts.
Pratchett/Baxter the Long series which I need to read the rest of.
Hoping to find a new indian waistcoat which i'm about to go and look into.

Maynard G. Krebs...the Dobie Gillis show (I was seriously obsessed with this show as a kid. I'd record the show on my Fisher-Price tape recorder, there was no other way to record a show at the time. Then I'd listen to it in bed, over and over until I fell asleep.)
Pining for good teas...want to order Hari Tea
Being organized, neat and clean
Gingerbread
Plants
Books

vietnamese fruit salad, omg

Weetabix with hot milk and sultanas
Pomodoro Technique
Sugar
Sleep

Incense sticks

You know, I'll make fun of hippie incense along with everyone else but I secretly like nag champa.

The stuff I'm buying is £1 for fifty sticks from my local pound shop. The great thing is, whatever it says on the packet you've got no idea what it's going to smell like so it's kind of a Proustian lottery

So far I've smelt 1998 and 2006 and the air around my grandmother's house.

Movies, novels, trying to sleep more and feel more inspired about life

How's the sleeping going? Do you find forcing yourself to go for a coffee and a long walk during the day helps?

MEXICO

I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND GO THERE ALL THE TIME

YES

quitting writing for free

trying to generally be more positive about my life and concentrate on good things. it's ridiculous, i know, but i've never ever thought to think this way and almost always concentrated on the bad stuff as a sort of coping(?) developing(?) process.

Stevie I highly recommend Tulum as your next Mexico trip, easily do-able from the east coast for three nights or so, you may really dig it and decide to abandon the U.S. ship to live/work there for a while. Unless you really prefer cities (like me); in that case do not live in Tulum. Or anywhere on the Baja peninsula :)

I am excited abt this newly started IT career why bcz both upward AND geographic mobility!!

Tulum is beautiful and I want to go back there for ages

Sic did you mexico much and if so plz tell all

Stevie, how much Spanish do u speak?

de nada

-Borderlands 2 on PS3
-Working out at the gym, including being able to job for stretches again
-Getting a used recumbent bike so's I can do cardio at home whilst playing said Borderlands 2 and not getting bored by extended cardio

lol, u mean "nada" xp

("de nada" means no problem, I think, or it did in 1978)

ha, yes, i know, i was just being loco

That thing Ciara does with her voice after "don't stop" at the end of the second verse of "Body Party"

ripping an absurd amount of music to put on a walkman I got at the start of the week, to ensure I got a clip I'd lost on a previous one. Just hope it works ok. But it does seem to be consuming most of my energy.

Having a tv that I can watch things on through attaching a memory stick to a USB connection. Probably been something taht people have been doing for years but new to me. Am aware that it is a function on laptops etc, but has it been on tvs for long/
Having a tv I can see properly and can actually read writing on.

The growing feeling taht I need to get back to springcleaning my room as I tried before Xmas and didn't get through. MAybe getting too into procrastination too.

Sewing, taking a course once a week that i need to do some homework I brought home to catch up with the rest of the more experienced people in the class and not been doing because I've been ripping hundreds of cds all week.

David Byrne's How Music Works when I get around to reading it, yet again not getting this done cos of the above.

avocados
pistachios
bon appetit magazine
films starring/written by Brit Marling (need to rewatch)
small, attainable goals for these cold days

In a similar vein to the above, right now I'm into Apple TV (lol iPhone's autocorrect capitalisation) and the fact I can stream any .mp4 files that I can lay my hands on direct to my tv. Last night was mike leigh's 'naked'. Great Xmas gift
