happy

In no particular order, these are things that are currently making me happy:

So You Think You Can Dance

It's over, which is sad, but I still have Wade Robson's zombie dance to Roisin Murphy's Ramalama Bang Bang saved in my TiVO. And that makes me very, very happy.

The cast of the new Hairspray movie.

Depp and Burton, together again.

Tim Gunn.

Even if you don't watch Project Runway, you should read his blog every week. You should especially read this past week's because he disagrees with the judges, and makes them sound like idiots, except only because he's so suave and articulate. Beautiful. I love him because he's intelligent, incisive, critical-but-kind, and so thoughtful. He really cares about the designers, their efforts, and wants to see them succeed. Just like a really good teacher should.

The Rolling Stone Women in Rock Collection.
It's infinitely sing-a-long-able.

My horoscope.
Lately it's been totally spot on. Trippy.

Psyche.

So, so funny. Check out the "Psyche outs" on the site, if you don't believe me. Start with "Electric Avenue." I love these guys.

My dreams. Last night, I got to eat Twinkies and hang out with John Krasinski. Actually, we were in a play together ("Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"), but I woke up before the curtain went up.

This cat.

Gofugyourself.com. Every day.

And, last but not least, my sister's new research site. Go here before you Google!

Hi! I'm Penny! I mean, I'm Miss Moneypenny, but you can call me Penny! I'm super cute and lovey and I have a biiiiiig tongue! *slurp* You're delicious! I wanna lick your face, and your arms, and your shirt, and your jeans, and your neck, and your shoes and...

Hey! Where you going? I thought we were playing! Come back here! *slurp*

You know,

I don't post about work much in here. (I actually haven't posted much of anything lately, but that's neither here nor there.) It's just smart policy, I think.

Today, however, I just needed to pop in here to announce to the world,

Damn I'm good.

I can't tell you why without actually talking about my job, but trust me when I say, today? I did some very good work. I am a creative master. And since no one here actually appreciates how awesome my work is, I'm going to go ahead and say it again:

Damn I'm good.

this is what I did

After much deliberation over what to wear to our 1975 party last weekend, this is what I did:

It's part Stepford Wife, part super-awesome comfy outfit and rad feathered hair. And a whole lot of that goofy expression I can't seem to stop making in photos, but there you go.

I've done a lot of "decades" in my day--20's & 40's for Halloween, 50's for a birthday party, etc.--and I gotta say, the 70's might be my best decade yet. That's the way (uh-huh uh-huh) I like it!
