From Mer,
href="http://mechaieh.diaryland.com">Mechaieh, and
SwooP:
Currents
Current Dress: light blue sleeveless
button-down shirt that looked awful on the rack but surprisingly flattering on,
dark olive miniskirt, brown Born sandals, blue topaz stud earrings, topaz heart
necklace on gold chain (rare for me, I almost always wear silver), blue and silver
watch, curved barbell with blue stone (in navel). Engagement ring -- haven't been
wearing the wedding one because it's a pain to take off. Contact lenses.
Underwear.
Current makeup: tinted moisturizer with sunscreen because
I'm trying to be good, the remains of lipstain.
Current Mood:
anticipatory, slightly stressed, a little bored with the telecon I'm in right
now.
Current Music: none, except that "Because the Night" keeps going
around in my head, thanks to Mechaieh.
Current Taste: Darjeeling tea
with sugar.
Current Hair: very short and somewhat gelled. Natural
dark brown, some gray starting to show.
Current Annoyance: getting
very tired of the technical documents I'm working on!
Current Smell:
tea.
Current Thing I Ought to be doing: technical docs, see above,
and paying more attention to telecon.
Current Favorite Artist: Dale
Chihuly.
Current Favorite Group: Great Big Sea.
Current
Book: Mercedes Lackey, Serpent in the Shadows (or something like that). It's
definitely got a tribute to Lord Peter Wimsey; I'm trying to figure out if
references to the Amelia Peabody books are also intended.
Current CD
In Stereo: in the car, Mary Higgins Clark's Domestic Malice 2
Current
VHS in player: none
Current Color Of Toenails: metallic red. Almost
matches my truck.
Current Refreshment: Tea, as mentioned. Also had a
Luna bar, Gatorade, and some pretzels this morning.
Current Worry:
getting these documents finished, not forgetting to pack anything for
Alaska
Current Crush: None really -- between crushes just
now.
Current Favorite Celebrity: living one? I don't know. I'm
impressed with the political work Bono's been doing.

Gatorade

TV Show: Fear Factor, the Simpsons --
don't watch TV much. I always like the Kennedy Center Honors shows.
