lagilman | oh god. it's 82 degrees at 10pm

The fact that Curse the Dark takes place during a heat wave in Manhattan? Total coincidence. Really. Please don't hurt me.

Anyway. Too hot to work. Too hot to even watch tv. (although watching the promos for "Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy" are really making me fear for humanity. This got greenlighted? What drugs are the folks at Sci-Fi on, and why aren't they sharing?)

But not to hot to meme, apparently, as I've been tgged by

deire:

"Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... ~~and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.~~."

working in a darkroom (something I haven't been able to do for far too long)
riding horseback (see above. I need to fix that.)
reading a brand-new and wonderful book (or re-reading a familiar and wonderful book)
dancing
and the #1 thing that calms, destresses, and just generally makes me happy? Sprawling somewhere with the felines and having their sweet, totally independent-minded love remind me why the collective human 'we' brought them in from the barn.

(of course, putting this list together, I realize that there's probably one thing nobody's put on their list that everyone _should_ put on their list... *evil grin*)
