Today in ten words and ten sentences....

[fajrdrako]

From Daily Zen:

Summarize your day in ten sentences

(1) Sunshine: The day seemed filled with flowers in the sunshine: poppies with crepe petals, snapdragons that were red with white tongues, buttercups, daisies, a huge leaning sunflower on the balcony on the second floor, and hundreds of growing things that I can't begin to identify in neighbourhood gardens.

(2) Laughter: We were watching the Smallville episode "Nocturne", which I was taping for chinae, and maboroshimaki decided to liven things up with visual aids: Clark's face in place on Lana's when Lex recites the love poem; green-tinted lenses for when Byron decides to turn into the Hulk and smash people; some poetry written by Clark; a Small Park Lionel cutout (drawn by goss) for Byron to kneel to on the porch.

(3) Curiosity: We watched trailers for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" and speculated on the slash possibilities.

(4) Greed: I ate three illicit chocolate chip cookies.

(5) Pride: I lost another pound. (What, have I fallen into the seven deadly sins here? This sentence doesn't count, it is a digression.)

(6) Peace: When I did yoga at Aliya's place this morning, the new meditation was particularly restful and the baby stayed asleep.

(7) Busy: At work, it was time for the ads for the upcoming play, the upcoming auditions, and the PR for both, while the photocopier was non-functional and the repairman didn't call.

(8) Challenging: I made tabouli from my favourite recipe, which calls for cucumber and tomato and canned chickpeas, all of which are forbidden on my current diet, so I substituted cooked and chilled cauliflower, to good effect.

(9) Cute: lmondegreen caught a glimpse of the baby budgie behind Wisdom in the nesting box, though I've yet to see her.

(10) Creative: I wrote several paragraphs to add to my current Clex story before I went to yoga before work, and though happy with what I have, I wished I had more time to work on the story today.
