A while back, [livejournal.com profile] bittenbefore was sharing things she was in love with, so I think I am going to try and make every month a little brighter by listing 5 things I am in love with which are not strictly computer related lol

1. Arugula XD; (for those who don't know I adore bitter greens like arugula, I even like eating it straight.)

2. Sugar Scrubs (so nice on my skin <3 and the ones I own have the most lovely scents)

3. Cynthia Steffee skirts (I currently own 4, and I just love the way they fit. I so need to go hunting on ebay for more.)

4. Pop Sociology books (Most people read pop psychology books, but I have always been a pop sociology person. I love books like The Second Shift, Nickel and Dimed and Falling From Grace If anyone has recommendations on a Sociology book with lots of case studies but little in the way of jargon, please recommend.

5. Meeting a friend for lunch (this one is sort of obvious lol)

I've also been thinking about a post [livejournal.com profile] reynardine made about disturbing songs in 1776. In all honesty, the most disturbing song I can easily think of is the following song I adore from the musical Assassins
How I Saved Roosevelt

It's a lovely play on a John Phillips Sousa tune, and on a first listen it doesn't seem so disturbing until you stop to really think about the song. Overall, I really like Assassins and am still kicking myself for missing it the second time it was on Broadway. ~.~

One a side note, is it just me or is a British cast recording of 1776 somewhat.. disconcerting.

In other news, while it is early yet, I'm soon going to be posting one of those wishlists for the holidays again, as my birthday is at the beginning of December, so if anyone is looking for an idea, it will be available. ^^
You are 58% English.

Getting there. You may wish to pay attention to the world around you.

"And did those feet
In ancient times,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
In England's pleasant pastures seen?"

Well, no, but it's a cracking good tune.

How English are you?

Rather amusing since I've spent most of my life living outside "the City" so to speak. lol And while I do know who penned the above poem, the question on cricket got me thinking, I don't actually know how many players are on a football team, or even on the field at any given time. The same goes for basketball, and ice hockey. I could prob figure out how many are fielded for baseball, I might be able to get soccer from Whistle.
Today my Ethereal Angels eye candies came in. I'm rather pleased, though I now have to go digging up emails and contacting people from Yaoicon about commissions. Fan-artists ~.~
