Great things about life #107: sending snail mail

…the stationery, the writing, the envelope, the stamp, the post office.  Certainly not outdated, maybe more awesome now than ever.

Great things about life #106: birthdays

…not in the way where people count down the days and months etc. until their super-special twenty-four hours of immunity from everything and omigosh you should care that it’s my birthday because IT’S MY BIRTHDAY and everyone should know omigosh!  But maybe having a little cake with those nearest and dearest to you, and maybe doing a little something special, but not over the top.

Great things about life #105: jazz

…jazz is great.  It’s such an art form, expressive, personal, musical.  So vibrant and cool.  The music just speaks for itself.

Great things about life #104: lunch

…lunch is an all-purpose meal- an early lunch when you want to save your appetite for a big dinner, a late lunch when you’ve done so much throughout the day that you completely forgot about it, lunch breaks that divide up the work day… yay for lunch!

Great things about life #103: saving money

…while it might burn a hole in your pocket, it’s so satisfying to see a pile of money keep growing and growing in your bank account.

Great things about life #102: Skype

…alternatively, Skype is an easy way to communicate, whether via video or Skype IM.  Just don’t try to do any of it at Arcadia, ‘cause the connection will bum out on you leaving you wondering why it’s taking so long for someone to get back to you.  Ah, temperamental Skype.

Great things about life #101: texting

…seriously, though, texting is an incredibly wonderful and convenient way of communication.  Nothing beats the sound of a voice, but for an easy, stress-free, nice-and-clear way of holding a conversation, just write down some words and shoot.

Great things about life #100: Cornettos

…since moving to Ireland and promptly sitting down with movie #2 of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy, I’ve started to fancy the occasional Cornetto.  And they’re honestly not terrible.

Great things about life #99: sleep

…all sleep.  A short nap after running through the sprinklers.  The sleep you take after a big Thanksgiving dinner.  Sleeping like a baby.  The sleep where, when it’s ten of one in the morning and you’ve just worked a whole bunch, you fall right into your bed and hibernate.  Thank God for sleep.

• Question: do u have a car - Anonymous
• Answer:

  Well, my main car is a sweet little Ariel Atom V8, which is the greatest thing ever to drive and I wouldn’t trade it for anything ever.  :P

  …when it rains, though, I drive a bright blue Ford Escort affectionately titled the TARDIS.
