...Help a girl out? Rough morning.

From Weaves:

List Five Good Things About Mondays.*




*Alternatively, list some good things unrelated to Mondays. Mondays is a hard day to pick good things about.

Ugh, Mondays.

*hugs from afar!*


I'm off to bed so I can have Tuesday instead. Uh, DE ... List Five Good Things About Mondays.*




*Alternatively, list some good things unrelated to Mondays. Mondays is a hard day to pick good things about.

[noteful]

Hmmmm. Here's something I've thought about.

Without changing then, if your (non-superhero) pup were a superhero, what would their powers and name and all be? So like, I contend that Meg Ford's ability to make lists and be organized just might be superhuman. Clearly, then, if she were a superhero, she'd be the one making sure people returned library books on timme and never forgot to buy the milk. I suspect her name would be Rolodex. (Well, it almost sounds like a superhero name, doesn't it?

*sends tea*

[ofthefamily]

I'm totally saving that one for tomorrow.

[weaverandom.livejournal.com]

lol, actually getting in first. #_#

I have a good thing about this Monday: my new office lets me pretend to be Batman ALL DAY LONG. (in the sense that it is high up and looks at tops of buildings, but, you know, I will take what I can get.)

... i'm not listing five things, that's too hard. Dumb idea. >.>

*goes to bed*

AUGH.

To those well-versed in APA style: When using a foreign term like grandes sauces in a paper I know that I should put it in italics the first time I use it.

I'm wondering; do I need to put the translation in parenthesis if my audience already knows what the word means?

[moriendi.livejournal.com]

Also, yes, I hate Mondays.

[wakeupnew]

Ugh. I forgot, until I reached my desk, about the explosion of cases that came in on Friday night as I was trying to leave the building. *DROWNS*

FIVE GOOD THINGS (which are, in fact, related to my Monday. if tangentially)
* Vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes
* The internet
* Medical insurance
* Television shows that are technically meant for children but are awesome anyway
* Sparkles

[ofthefamily]

Dr. Sparkles?!?!?

From the other side of the international date line

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

1. Having freshly-made eel onigiri for breakfast.
2. Going shopping in Kamakura with family, and finding some really cool stuff.
3. Visiting the Kamakura Daibutsu and taking many pictures.
4. Getting to splash briefly in the Sea of Japan (while getting sunburnt, but hey, small price to pay) and take pictures of the surfers and sailboats.
5. Having delicious shabu-shabu for supper, and wandering around the electronics store, making longing faces at video games that you know will never be released in English or outside of Japan(*Siiiiigh*), before returning to your room to check up on the internet and head to bed.

It's been a good Monday. ^_______^

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Your Monday is just not fair. (Awesome.)

[sdelmonte]

1. The NY Times sports section is a standalone on Mondays.

2. Monday Night Football.

3. My boss usually has a meeting with her boss at 11 am, essentially giving me till noon to get myself organized for the week.

4. Traditional night for at least some quality TV - MASH, Heroes, 24, Castle, Lou Grant, Big Bang Theory, etc.

5. After Monday is over, only one more day to Wednesday comics.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

On Mondays, I can write up goals for a new week and not be behind on any of them yet.

[ofthefamily]

Win. ^_^

Good thing about Mondays: my mother is less likely to text/call me with inane things during the day than for the two days previous. Sometimes she makes a special effort during her lunch, though.

[wakeupnew]

I'm impressed that your mom knows how to text! My mom is like, '...why is the phone beeping at me. what does the picture of the envelope mean. why does it say I have an unread message. WHY IS THERE CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.'

[agonistes]

Generally at work nobody has done anything over the weekend, so it is my catch-up day.

Also, it is my day to either watch True Blood, or watch True Blood for the second time. (Nonspoilery reaction to last night's episode: Jaaaasoooooon <33333333333)

...also, Hoyt really looks like Leo Kottke, and it confuses me.

[wakeupnew]

Is Jason not dead yet by season 2? -_-

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

I wish I could feel apathetic towards Mondays, but as I am irritatingly unemployed I do not have that luxury.

[agoodshinkickin.livejournal.com]

On this particular Monday I...

- Have most of my voice back
- Will get to see my roomies and my cat for the first time in almost a week.
- My allergies are abating
- I have SO MUCH PLOT to plan that I just don't know what to do with myself.
- Am looking forward to getting back to my regularly scheduled patterns.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

What I like about Mondays:
- I get to go back to listening to whatever book I am "reading". I am currently enjoying an Edo period Japanese horror story called In the service of Samurai.
- A five day break from home improvements!
- The Boomtown Rats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yteMugRAc0).
- I get to listen to what ever music I want to (as long as it is on my work computer).
- I get to go back to being more active with threading.

And I can't wait until tomorrow's DE. = D

[gorgonfondness]

Five Good Things About Monday:
1. My sister goes to work, leaving me with the house to myself.
2. Updated webcomics.
3. All of my favorite places that are normally closed on Sunday are open now.
4. Monday morning of a week with no holidays is a good time to order stuff online.
5. Not necessarily good for me, but good for others: the local Famous Dave's gives a discount today to people who work in medicine.

[misslucyjane]

It's one day closer to Friday.

[shati.livejournal.com]

They're the day before my day off!

[aberration]

1. DE comes back! (Yes, this has helped me get up Monday morning many a time.)
2. Um. XKCD updates today?
3. Daily Show/Colbert come back from the weekend! I dropped all the other shows I watched on Mondays :\
4. It's named after the moon! ... I'm kind of grasping, now.
5. ... mail comes today, so I get my netflix Dollhouse dvd and will be able to watch "Epitaph One" in shiny shiny bluray. Yes, that's totally related to Monday. Yep.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Five good things, because I hate Mondays:

1. Reading Sleeper again and deciding to go through Wildc.a.t.s 3.0 again to look at the pretteh, pretteh Nguyen art.
2. Laughing at the twits over on the boards at CBR.
3. White tea with coconut milk.
4. Macadamia butter on rice cakes.
5. Finding out that I have really, really cool AND hip new downstairs neighbors who will take me to dinner and talk about neuroscience, GitS, Alan Moore, French graphic novels, Latin American politics, Bulgakov, and parkour.

[lai-lore.livejournal.com]

One good thing about this Monday?

IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS I'M GONNA BE BACK IN GEORGIA!
*spazzes*

That's mostly good. I also get butterflies when I think about it.

[alchemistseraph]

Why do you *want* to be back in Georgia?

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

For those of us working in the hospitality industry, Mondays are a fucking godsend, because they mean all the weekend vacationers have gone home.

[yakalskovich]

All Mondays are different. This one is especially nice:

• It was cooler! Yay for working brain and not melting!
  
• That also meant I did get to wear the awesome dress that was delivered on Saturday to work even though it's not really a summer dress; and it was fun!
  
• nazgulwears doesn't have to go to her kendo training tonight because of the summer holidays, which means she's there on IM all day if I feel the need to utter something randomly random.
  
• Having been to work means coming home and being greeted by my cats who are happy to see me.
  
• 'Fringe' and 'Eureka' on the TV tonight!

[gorgonfondness]

Awww, your dress is quite pretty!

[coreenfennel.livejournal.com]

Well, right now this is the first Monday in two months I haven't had class. And this fall, Mondays mean not having a class until 3PM...and that being the only one.

Sigh, I love my fall schedule!

[alchemistseraph]

Well, thus far this Monday's been alright...

I got to sleep in--after woefully falling asleep mid-tag at nine am--and there is no one in the house but me and the cats. And won't be until after supper, my mom has a dinner-thing with her coworkers and my brother's off with friends.

And I have threads I'm not killing myself with. These are good.

And I have lettuce and Greek vinaigrette. This is necessary to my happiness.

[yakalskovich]

Yay for lettuce and Greek vinaigrette! Never underestimate the cheering up power of a nice fresh salad.

I really want to try that North African salad thing Saundra mentioned the other day; I think it's called tabbouleh? Normally, though, I'm more Italian with my salads. Today, I had one of arugula, Bresaola, and Grana Padano (which is secretly know as 'the salad with the names').

[cupenny.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

1) My manager usually does the next week's schedual- and this one today will include THE START OF MY VACACTION!

2) I have three days off in a row, starting tommorrow. Er. Minivacation?

3) Short closing shift tonight, meaning I got to chill and do nothing for most of today.

4) Home 'made' dried apples. Home made raisins that are not yet raisins, but are still incredibly good and sweeter than sugar.

5) Cooler weather and clouds!
