Reasons to be cheerful

[azziria]

Reasons to be cheerful today:

1. Joaquin Phoenix. Because I watched Buffalo Soldiers last night and I could do perverted things with that man. Seriously.
   
2. Poetry. In particular Maddy Prior’s musical treatment of G.K. Chesterton’s The Rolling English Road. For some reason it’s brought me particular joy this morning, maybe because it’s gray and damp and the words have reminded me of summer days spent wandering country lanes - verges full of lacy cow parsley, and hedgerows swathed in the delicate pink of dog roses.
   
3. My new flat screen computer monitor here at work. No more bluescreen and flicker. Just crispness and clarity. Joy unbounded in the office.
   
4. Installation of shiny new kitchen is underway.

Re 1: with you all the way. "Quills"... *melts*

Re 2: I'll have a look out for that as I need more folky stuff in my collection. Have you heard Robin Williamson's Skirting the River Road? A collection of Whitman, Blake and Vaughan pieces set to music. It's not all my cup of tea but some of it is absolutely glorious.

Re 3: I've just been given a new monitor that bows at the top and flares at the bottom. Grrr. They won't give me back my old one.

Re 4: shiny new kitchens are always fun!

Sitting here bored to tears yet with too much to do.

I'll have to give the Robin Williamson a try.

And being bored to tears yet with too much to do? I know it well... *looks guiltily around the office*

I'm suffering from Panic-Induced Apathy. Too much to do, too little time, too little inclination. And the boss is coming back from his business trip a day early. Yikes.
