A thousand-plus thank yous to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gayalithiel for the Christmas Package O'Joy she so kindly sent - brimmin' full of Happy.
*A magazine featuring Daft Punk - I could frame the cover.
*A gorgeous book, about the Cure and, 'the story of the alternative 80s' - again, Robert on the cover is suitable for framing; can't wait to read this.
*Gary Numan, getting a word in An amazing USB pyramid-shaped Salt Crystal Lamp - for natural negative ions, which I sorely lack - I absolutely adore it, and its colours are gorgeous, and I have it plugged in, as I write this. Just lovely, and very much needed.
*Yessongs - the dvd of their 1972 Christmas at the Rainbow show. Just watched it - and OH. Just classic, magical Yes. Feed my soul, there is God in this music. When Bernard says that he wants to, "Go on the wind,", well...I counter with, "I want to, 'Go on this gorgeous, sparklish music'", I guess. Word.
Steve Howe, long hair, bouncing, playing his music with his whole body, and especially his face - Jon Anderson, the cosmic sprite with that voice..that incredible, angelic VOICE - Rick Wakeman, with his cape, a-sparkle, and his beautiful hands, flowing over the keys - doing, Jingle Bells in a patented Rick Wakeman Solo ™ - into bits of Handel's Messiah - Oh. Bliss. I could feel my spine, elongating with this music. Could breathe in deep and pure, again, with it. So good, so good, so good. I think it's the longest that DJ and I have gone without speaking while sitting in the same room - so glad he appreciates this stuff - We were just utterly rapt.
Pure white cosmic energy just NEVER gets old, I guess. Thank you for the reminder, grrl.
*Freeze-dried Astronaut Ice Cream! LOL - she told me about it, but I'd completely forgotten and literally squeed when I saw it. Let's see how long I can go before I cave in and eat it..
*Some hilarious and yet tasty chocolate Christmas ornamentSchweddy balls.....and this teensy, tiny little...knitted rainbow/white...I think it's a reindeer...for....Pencil topper? Fingerpuppet? Just for novelty's sake? ♥
God, you know me so well, woman. Thank you. ♥
My daughter called, and we're speaking, again. ♥
Had a grand ol' time, finishing up shopping, this weekend - and was grateful for the good, warm weather to do it in. Bath and Bodyworks = highway robbery, but they're going to make some folks happy on Christmas - - Dollar Tree made ME very happy; found some pretty comical and yet cool things there to add in for my nieces' and nephews' 'goody bags', tee hee - including a, 'World History' book with Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon, on the cover..now you KNOW I had to get THAT for my niece..and Spiderman hand sanitizer...*cough* I may or may not have gotten an extra one for MY purse..Here's just hoping that the stuff that was ordered online and, 'guaranteed in time for Christmas', arrives, tomorrow..
Pete and I met up, briefly, last night, at my mother's place, as he had somehow ended up with the little weather station radio I'd gotten a month ago as one of my daughter's gifts..and ended up going with me to pop in on Bernard. We brought him a wee container of chocolate ice-cream, and some egg-nog for his roomate. Heh - this will give us something to talk about this upcoming week, for sure. :)
And, in a fit of, OMG, I low-balled this guy on eBay for THIS - el cheap-ola, believe me, and just a whim - and he accepted it! I *had* to have it, as I am going through a, 'losing my car keys'-phase, so..yeah:
