10 Brand Names You Can't Live Without

Time for more random musings. Seems like my fingers won't sit still today. I've posted once, finished all my editing (and worked a bit ahead), wrote a longwinded e-mail to M., and filled out paperwork for the potential new company health plan. It's days like this, days when my fingers are ahead of my brain, that I long to sit at the piano for hours, pounding out intricate Czerny runs or Bach Inventions. My brain goes on autopilot, and my fingers just fly forever, never tiring and rarely tripping over themselves. I live for that feeling.

Um, I should mention here that I hate Hate HATE Czerny, because I've never liked music that I find boring and difficult. But it's just right for days like today. Otherwise, his studies are a necessary evil, and one I should've begun years before I did. Consider yourself enlightened.

Okay. Ten minutes before 5 p.m. I think it's time for a nice Tuesday meme, courtesy of Yano.

10 Brand Names You Can't Live Without

1. Pentel EnerGel 1.0 Pens in Red (my editing pen of choice)
2. Almay Luxury Finish Loose Powder in Translucent (superpale by choice)
3. Scent by Spirit tea (any flavor really, though Earl Grey is my fave)
4. Associated Press (yes, it's a brand)
5. Reuters (also a brand, kthx)
6. MAC lipsticks (fave colors: Spanish Fly and Smoove)
7. Q-tip brand swabs (tried others, hated others, gone back to QT)
8. Birkenstocks (I'm addicted, and it's Len's fault)
9. Danger hiptop (phone sucks, but it's otherwise rockalicious)
   
10. Timex Ironman watches (just like my Daddy)

Ooh. That was harder than I thought, mainly because I had to narrow it down so much. Bummer.

Oh -- thought I'd share a quote I found online:

"You can tell that it's infatuation when you think that he's as sexy as Paul Newman, as athletic as Pete Rose, as selfless and dedicated as Ralph Nader, as smart as John Kenneth Galbraith and as funny as Don Rickles. You can be reasonably sure that it's love when you realize he's actually about as sexy as Don Rickles, as athletic as Ralph Nader, as smart as Pete Rose, as funny as John Kenneth Galbraith and doesn't resemble Paul Newman in any way--but you'll stick with him anyway." --Judith Viorst

Not that it applies to Paul. He's smart, funny, sexy ... perfect in every way ... except that he's as messy as me and procrastinates worse than anyone I know.

But I love him to death anyway. ^_^
