Morning post over morning coffee here. I have my cup here. I realized I had not posted in a while. I sit here each morning before work and drink coffee and watch the morning news. Such is my routine. That is after I groggily wandered to the shower. Teddy the wonder cat knows enough to stay out of my way until I have had a good amount of the java.

So the Bay Area has been taken over by the effen Super Bowl. Everything is geared towards that. They have this Super Bowl City in San Francisco and all these events. I am not even going over there. It has not really impacted my life at all but I am a little tired of hearing about it. I do hope that local businesses are making tons of money from all of this - that would be a good thing - that it would boost the local economy here. So if having the game here does that - I am all for it. I do plan on watching the game and having some good snacks etc. I am rooting for the Panthers. I think Cam Newton is gorgeous and I hope that he does well in the game. :P He also won the Heisman Trophy when he was in college so he definitely has the skills.

Work is going well - I am kind of having fun with it. I do have to work on Saturday and manage a training on campus so there is that but that is not too bad and it is only a few hours. I have a few events coming up and they are off to rocky starts but I think I will be able to pull them out. We are also getting our head shots done with a professional photographer so I am having my make up done by my neighbor who does it professionally. Hopefully I will get some good shots out of this deal. I never take good pictures so will see how it goes.

I am really looking forward to reading the Slashy Valentine stories when they come out mid-month. As always I am nervous that my story is not what my recipient wants so I hope that my person likes it. *bites nails* I always worry about that so don't mind me. I am just glad that I got my story done. It was a very interesting prompt and out of my comfort zone. Kind of a stretch.

I am saddened by two recent celebrity deaths - Alan Rickman and David Bowie. I enjoyed their work through their careers - I saw Bowie twice and he was phenomenal. And I have seen many Rickman films - my favorite being - Truly Madly Deeply. I will miss both of them and their talent that they shared with us.

So that is all I have. I hope all is well with you in your part of the world. Comments are great and I will reply back as soon as I can. :)

You have Teddy the Wondercat and I have Chloe the Wonderdog! They are the Wonder twins!!!

When two great artists die it leaves a vacuum beyond their respective areas. I doubt anyone will replace David Bowie for me. I loved Truly Madly Deeply and that was my favourite Alan Rickman film until Galaxy Quest.

*Hugs*

Teddy is a wonderful wondercat. He has been zooming around here this morning. Full of vim and vigour today.

I know what you mean about the loss of two greats in music and cinema. It is just such a loss. It leaves a huge gaping hole there. I will have to see Galaxy Quest. I never saw that one. :)

I approve of your Superbowl choice. Cammy Cam is awesome. I'm not a huge pro football fan, but I love me some Cam. <3

I love his whole attitude. He has great mojo. Did you see his crazy pants he wore? I thought those were so great!

No one can replace Bowie, he was unique, a true, multi-faceted artist. You are so lucky to have seen him.

I am scrolling back through the last few days of LJ which I've not had time to catch up on and am having a nice time reading posts. In other words, I am avoiding work on the Slashy Valentine that goes On and On and On and never gets Anywhere!!

Major sporting events are way better in other people's cities I find. Even if you can avoid the obvious congestion and such, local media throws it at you from all sides.

Oh, also - like the new layout. It's unusual and works for me :)

He was! And I think he was a truly nice person too. I am glad I got to see him in concert. Very memorable concerts.

At least you have a story! It will get done. I assume you got an extension on it for the deadline.

Yes - I much prefer the Super Bowl when it is other places. But now it is over and that is good. I hope they made lots of money and then it will have been worth it.

Thanks about the layout. I found a cool pick that I could use for it. I like the colors. :)

Sounds like you are doing well.

I am doing pretty well. Hope you are too! *huggles*
