very occasional nick horby-inspired post full o’ lists

For the lazy writer, a list is a lovely short cut.

Stuff I’m loving now:

Pumpkinhead Ale from Shipyard.  Yes, still.  We may be thankful that the slutty nurse costumes are tucked away for another year, but this beer should be out year round.

Personal, professional, and virtual honesty.  I’ve been dealing with an incredibly passive aggressive coworker who generally disapproves of me and who has been driving me bat shit crazy.  After confronting her on it a couple of times over the past few days, I have to say she is still the same, but her attitude bugs me a lot less.  Amen to being honest, and who cares if everyone doesn’t like you?  Well, okay, I still do sometimes, but the older I get the less I care and the less I care, the happier I am.  And to continue a theme, I’ve had some personal conversations lately that revolve around and/or were driven by honesty and it feels like opening a window and airing out a room.  Completely priceless; try it, you’ll like.

And from a virtual standpoint, check out an unassuming girl for some brave, honest, and often searing blogging.

New music. The new Mike Doughty, the new Phoenix, and new old pixies.  Stay all day, if you want to.

Somewhere to go when I’m complete at a loss in my hipster/old-day geeky new hobby.  And whoever the woman is who taped herself knitting on KnittingHelp has saved my sanity more than once, as well.

Things my almost 3 year old wants for Christmas: (in her words)

A dollie.

A kitty cat.

A phone.

Places I’d rather be right now:

Japan.

Asleep.

In your arms.

Things I should be doing right now but am not:

Exercising.

Finishing a story that I’ve been dicking around with for two years.

Sleeping.
