Small things make me happy
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
oracne, I got the books!! Thank you! Yay Chinese-influenced YA fantasy!Because work has been crazy busy and will be for the rest of this week, and because personal life stuff is ... not being depressing, per se, but being hard --
Things that make me happy:
- Coming home and remembering that I still have herb bread and salmon spread from yesterday
- Fat furry rats!!
- Packages!
- Teasing my mom about shopping in NYC
- Watching my sister get used to her new job (Go sister go!)
- Planning a one-month-on-meds anniversary party for fannishly (aka, blatant excuse to treat ourselves to fondue!)
- Watching Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, which are such lovely movies
- People at work being themselves and joking about coffee and other cubicle things
- The bright purple flowers on the spindly tree outside (I keep wanting to pluck one off and stick it in my hair)
- Having my sense of smell back so I can finally wear my BPAL again! Yay for Embalming Fluid! (ok, that probably sounded absolutely gross to all the non-BPAL-ordering people out there)
- fannishly's brother making poor Mervin the Frog into a shark
- Llamas! Especially petulant emperors-turned-llamas who say "No touchy!"
- The article on Serenity in this week's EW
- Knowing my BPAL package will be getting here soon
- My happy mix CD(s) and dancing and singing in the car and probably looking like a maniac to the person staring at me in their rearview mirror
- fannishly's new exercise videos and trying to figure out that insane hip-hop routine (again, looking like an idiot)
- Enjoying looking like an idiot

audiography- Obnoxiously bouncy music with fun beats and great guitar riffs
- The fact that I have a killer rabbit attached to my lamp (he's working on gnawing through that before slaughtering the rest of us). It's got teeth like arrrrr!
- Mmmmm pie
- Stupid puns ^_^
- Muppets
- Muppets singing songs with stupid puns, starring Gonzo and Rizzo
- Green slime and Howl!
Look, I was so good and didn't mention peas at all, because I am quite sure everyone is sick of them!
Oh, also, I found the absolutely coolest thing ever! It does databases! It is customizable! I can do pretty much everything I can possibly think of doing! I have investigated other book database cataloging software, and while others will do things like search the ISBN on Amazon and import the info, which is cool, this one is the most customizable one I've seen. I mean... not only can you edit all the database fields, you can go in and play around with the Form Designer and redesign how you put in the info! *geeks out* And and and! It generates HTML! This means I am thismuchcloser to having database-driven pages, which means I can categorize book write-ups by author and genre and top ten and title and hey, even publisher or price or however I want! Now all I have to do is learn a) how to export to SQL and b) how to use PHP to program said database-driven page.
This makes me so happy.
I am such a geek.
*grins big grin of geekdom*

I have to get the Muppets DVDs from Netflix. And probably to keep eventually.

Heh. I was looking for a cooking/fodd icon, and this is what came to mind.
Also on the list of things that makes me happy: 100 userpics!

And llamas. Even demon llamas.
Bring it on.
Heh.

And I am glad you enjoy the lists. Usually I post them when I need reminders that despite big things being downish, there are still small things.

Small things in my neighbourhood (early morning edition):
-cool mornings after a blistering heatwave
-my son gleefully watching the recycling truck take away the 'bleah'
-Montreal-style bagels with deli cream cheese
-enormous canopy trees across the street
-the bell on the new cat in the neighbourhood sneaking across my garden
-my top fits for the first time in years
-hot rice with a trustworthy raw egg, seaweed, Japanese pickled plum, and left-over barbqued salmon
-my son's face as he sleeps
