things that are currently making me happy

  • a kick-ass RSS reader: a while back, tommy found a free RSS reader that he liked. at the time, i was using firefox's built-in rss reader, which i found pretty satisfactory. but now, NOW! i've found out about thunderbird from mozilla. i think it was just officially launched today. i've been using it for about seven hours now, and i'm already in love. it's not only an RSS reader -- it's actually primarily an email program a la outlook. but its RSS reader is built-in, and it's pretty good. so now i can get email updates AND blog updates all in one package -- and the bonus is that it looks like a regular email program, so my bosses can't peek over my shoulder and have it be obvious that i'm surfing blogs all the day long.

  • this is girly, but almay skin stay clean foundation is the best. that is all.

  • the upstate life reports that WILCO IS COMING BACK TO THE D.C. AREA HOO FUCKING RAH for TWO shows at the 9:30 club. the shows will apparently be on february 23rd and 24th. no details as to when tix will go on sale, but we'll keep an eye out, because goddamn if we're not getting tickets this time around.

  • AND tommy and i have plans to go to two amy's on thursday night. i've only been there once, but the pizza was equal to much of what i've had in italy, so i can't wait. dcfoodies.com writes constantly about two amy's, and i'm always drooling by the time i finish his posts.

    so even though it is rainy and crappy and terrible outside, and i am swamped at work, and grad school is making me tear my hair out, there are a few bright things going on.

    You know you've been reading too many political blogs when you read "Almay Skin Stay Clean Foundation" and assume it's some kind of nonprofit organization.

    i'd have to put up a debate here. i have to put my vote in for L'Oreal Feel Naturale as the best. however, it could arguably be put in a different category because it's one of those pressed foundations that turn into a powder sort deal.

    How was your trip to 2Amys? I hope I didn't set your expectations too high...

    it was excellent! i had the norcia pizza and tommy had the puttanesca, and we had this AMAZING pannacotta dessert with orange liquer sauce.
