Bit of Ivory

• Allegra. Oh, how I love Allegra. I almost love it as much as I used to love Seldane. It’s close. Combined with Visine-A for my eyes and NasalCrom for my nose, I feel almost normal today. I’m tired, though. Natural consequence of waking up in the middle of the night to blow my nose.
• Alfonso Cuaron. I haven’t even seen the movie yet, and I adore him. The trailer is spectacular enough.
• Alan Rickman. I don’t like Snape as a *person* much, but as a character I admit he’s fairly intriguing. And Alan Rickman does him so well. He spoke hardly a word in the trailer, but he just exuded Snapeiness. Chills.
• Daniel Radcliffe. Especially saying “EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!” He’s so forceful. I admit, I was a bit concerned about his acting skills in SS. But man, has he improved since. I will stop seeing the movies if he doesn’t keep going after GoF. Seriously.
• Making icons. I’ve already made one for Angua and will go home and make more tonight.
• Samwise Gamgee. He’s on my calendar today (well, so is Frodo, but Sam’s the one in focus) and I adore him. *hugs Sam*
• TLC readers. Because we’re all so excited about the trailer that we broke TLC. I love how rabid we all are. Don’t like that TLC is broken, but love the reason why.
• All of you (and all my blog readers) for being who you are and for giving me people to squee with about the trailer.
• Mellie and RJA because they are both feeling sick and are both amazing people doing amazing things.
• The PotC soundtrack. Has been a while since I’ve listened to it all the way through, but I’ve already played it twice today and am on time #3 and I adore it.
• Finding out that what could have been a gigantic project is actually managable and doable.
• Having money to buy things again.
• Life!

I find it very encouraging that my “things I love” list is significantly longer than my “things I hate” list.
