December 9th, 2010 • Things I Love Thursday
❥ Christmas is coming! Apart from the vast amounts of chocolate I am almost certain to imbibe, this year I am presenting all of my friends with paintings for their gifts! All of their requests are turning out to be a total hoot to draw… one requested a unicorn, another requested a cat on a love seat (and let me tell you, “Siamese in repose on divan” is possibly my finest work yet) and yet another is stuck with the ugliest monster I can come up with (by default, since he didn’t respond to my “what do you want me to paint for you D:” text in time). I’m loving the chance to draw fun stuff again, and the fact that I get to give them away makes it even better. In fact, it almost makes me miss art school… almost. (:
❥Birthdays are coming up! My mom’s birthday is on the 11th, which means that I get to troop out to Langley to visit my family and my most handsome golden retriever and tell my mom how awesome she is (though she totally knows it anyways). Then it’s my birthday on December 29th which, at the very least, means I get delicious cakes as a “right on” for being born. Cake for doing pretty much nothing? Yes please!
❥My kitten is absolutely adorable and even if he is a pest, his belly is so round and irresistible to snuggle.
❥My friends are lovely and even though we didn’t get much studying last night in the CS labs, we took Photobooth pictures that were so hilarious that I was crying with laughter from the end. I haven’t laughed so hard in forever.
❥Bernoulli’s Bagels! Oh my god, yesterday before my exam I had their Bagelwich for breakfast (which is ham, cheese and egg) on a jalapeno bagel and… well. I have been thinking about it nonstop. I actually cannot wait until my next exam when I can get another one.
❥My friend Dave came up with an amazing drink to get at Starbucks- a medium coffee with two pumps of peppermint and two pumps of chocolate syrup. It’s just like a peppermint mocha but with less milk, so the flavour (and caffeination!) is even stronger.
❥I love having a roommate that I can finally be friends with, instead of one that spends hours in the kitchen singing along to Justin Bieber and watching that reality show about teen parents (and incurring my wrath in the process). Now I have a roommate who shares his snacks and has great discussions about Noam Chomsky and cereal at 3am.
❥Snow! We don’t have any yet, but the stuff we had awhile back was lovely. I hope we get some again soon. (It seems like our snow tends to come a bit later, like around January/February).
Hurray! You have no idea how excited I was to see this post on the Blog Squad feed!
Also, the heart bullet points are fantastic. (Of course I would approve.)
I love Bernoulli’s as well. I used to get sundried tomato cream cheese on a garlic bagel until I switched obsessions to salmon salad sandwich on a focaccia bagel. Oh my goodness, the focaccia goes well with anything, really.
Does your roommate talk about Chomsky and cereal at 3 am, or talk about Chomsky while eating cereal at 3 am? Both are undoubtedly cool, but I would be extra keen to hear about Chomsky and cereal in the same sentence.
