Swing!

Oh, Dr. Boli. I love you.


This vid needs to be seen by as many people as possible. I love this song, and it's so perfect for a fanvid for this particular play. I have not seen the movie. The fact that I recognize from it only the names Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter speaks well in its favor.



Monday was a Really Bad Day. All around bad day on just about every level. No, not just about. Every level. Every single damn level. It was bad bad bad and what made the rest of the bad even worse was the bad of the constant hip pain. I couldn't sit. I couldn't stand. And what with my banged-up knee (which I've re-injured twice now), I couldn't kneel. I left work early so I could settle restlessly on the couch with a bottle of wine (since pain medications do jack shit for me). Now, a lot of the things that made it a bad day I didn't/don't have complete control over. But I do have control over how I deal with physical and internal matters. So yesterday I decided that it was entirely likely that the hip pain I've been experiencing on and off for the past few months might just be my New Normal and I'd best deal with it as such. It was amazing how that mental shift changed my perception of the pain. Don't get me wrong. It still hurts and I'll be really happy if/when it goes away. But I'm not going to allow it to consume me anymore. *brisk brushing of hands* So there. Fuck you, hip pain.

And finally, something else making today awesome?

The photo is blurry because I was all a-twitter about it being delivered. I called in to work to tell them I'd be late because I was not going to be not home when they drove that baby off the trailer.

So Exciting!

Some more photos! Note that, in the second one of [livejournal.com profile] chernobylred, she's holding the keys. The close-up was before it made its way down the ramps.

It's now wiped down and safely tucked in the carport. I discovered that, ahem, on damp roads it will go a little bit sideways in all the gears....

LOVE IT.

I see this post with my curious always alice icon and I freaked the hell out because it was also (on first glance) filled with cuts and bold just like i would write and I thought "when the HELL did I update LJ?!?" even after reading the first sentence! And it is still freaking me out. ::shakes fist at LJ or the responsible party::

Ok this post is awesome because of the attitude, the car, and the gifs!

Got no gifs here, but . . . wow, that car looks fast even when it's standing still! Not unlike the co-owner. ; )

I'd be all up in that shit if I could figure GIMP out, FML. I'm too used to Photoshop.
