Everything is splendid

Oh, everything is just so wonderful right now! Portland is filled with a fresh east wind and yellow leaves and slanty sunshine and horse-chestnuts.

After a perfectly fantastic visit from [livejournal.com profile] vampirefan (during which she got me addicted to both "Glee" and "Drop Dead Diva" because she is an evil fangirl and drives the crack van), I spent a whopping one day at work last week, not nearly enough to ruin my high.

Yesterday I treated myself to some new bed linens at IKEA: plum, raspberry, bronze and pumpkin, all stripey and cozy boudoir-ish, and they're out flapping in the breeze right now, enjoying their freedom from captivity in plastic wrappers. They make a nice (and probably meaningful) change from the taupe-black-white-gray I've had for the last couple of years.

I rode Clyde to Fred Meyer (local everything-store, two miles away) for a couple of small items yesterday, and it was so much fun that I did it again today. It's chilly enough to warrant riding gloves, and I have this vintage pair of hot-pink leather dress gloves, so I wore those. You know, for visibility. I forgot something and darn it, I need to go again!

I completed recording on the first chapter of my Podbang entry on Friday night. Since it's a "secret Santa" kind of thing, I can't say much about what I'm working on, but I can say that it's in the SPN fandom, it's VERY long, and there is music involved which I'm having indescribable amounts of fun with, all fading in, fading out, lining up--gah! I'm just in geek heaven!

So, life is good! Happy Autumn to my northern hemisphere friends.

Hee! I think I might have gone a little overboard in the color department. The bedroom is like a seraglio now.
