Get loving.

Ummm, for me? A Radio 4 documentary on childhood play and LCD Soundsystem.

Should go into more detail, but have to go out.

Members of the public trying to open the door to the library despite the two large signs explaining that we were closed, the leaflets we've been giving out for the last few months saying we were closing last weekend and the fact that for the last month staff were telling everyone they served that we were closing last weekend. What do some people need to take the hint?

In other news, getting a great range of books from the library due to all the stock having to go due to the closing thing. Has anyone else read The Customized Body?

There is already this thread for the giving of the happies. Not that it really matters much.

Today, seeing a picture of Gary Oldman as Sirius for the first time (yes, I know that I'm cross-posting that, but it's not like its the only thing I'm posting, and it is relevant to the thread. And yes, I also know I'm a sad fuck), and getting a lovely little ball of rainbow sheen obsidian to play with made me smile. Also, my sister brought me a cookie back from her outing today, which was very sweet of her.

Actually, I've been in a really good mood all day, despite having a headache. Yay!

Btw - Polythene Harvey has to be the best name to come out of the renaming fad.

Boring as I am, I have to say YET AGAIN (but it's always true)... coming home and my dog being a) OK, and b) really pleased to see me. Always makes me happy.

And... what else?... ahhh yes. The new Jane's Addiction album. Oh yes. Glorious.

This didn't make me happy today, as it happened on Sunday, but there was a large group of men somewhere behind my house singing Gospel songs and old-school Spirituals. Loud. For hours, they sang. It was lovely.

Also on Sundays, a truck with speakers on top drives around the neighbourhood and exhorts everyone to go to church. I can see how this might bother some people, but I think it's the greatest thing ever.

Seeing this thread made me insanely happy.

Saint Keggers

19:14 / 25.07.03

LOL! I just got the image of that truck parked in front of the church right after the service blaring "Its over. Everybody get the fuck out now!"

That idea made me happy.

Abigail Blue

19:14 / 25.07.03

Wait! Wait! There are so people singing Gospel music outside today! I live in the best neighbourhood in the whole world!

a friend called me at a very stressful workday to laugh with me about a past joke, then asked to take me out tonight. a wonderful start to the weekend.

Saint Keggers

19:51 / 25.07.03

I love Sour Skittles.

20:01 / 25.07.03

i'll just say 'remembering what i did yesterday', is that nice and vague? mmmm.
also, this saturday i'm going to see a punk show and i'm going to get wasted and slam dance and the bands are good and i'm psyched.

The news that they're making another Harry Potter film has made me smile. Ganesh's squeal like a penguin thread not only made me smile it made my Dad smile too. Thing is I don't look at that many threads on Barbelith and I'm a bit worried that the one entitled Squeal Like apEnguin was the one I was drawn too, still it worked out for the best. And two of my friends sending me e-mails with them simulating having sex with fruit and vegtables.

Mourne Kransky

21:32 / 25.07.03

Shit, my friends never do that.

Never a rude parsnip nor a legume with attitude. It's so unfair.

alas

22:15 / 25.07.03

fruits and vegetables? my your friends are a wild set. my friends are completely monogamous when it comes to food sex.

taking a long walk with my dogs. all three of them.
and
there's something satisfying about vacuuming up the dog hairs. Especially the big dust bunnie balls of dog hairs.

(I have a very low pleasure threshold.)

Office Space and Zywiec Beer makes me smile today.

A sandwich.

My 13 month old boy taking five steps, unaided towards me, then flinging himself into my arms with a huge grin on his face.

Very happy.

Saint Keggers

20:35 / 26.07.03

Yeah I can see why that'd be something to love....

My niece is turning 2 today!

Papess

20:51 / 26.07.03

Finally being with my son again.

This dube I am sneaking onto the porch to smoke.

Knowing my lover is still alive.

Spaniel

22:10 / 26.07.03

A good old bitch.

A friend came over today and we let all that pent up resentment pour out.

It made quite a mess.

Saint Keggers

23:55 / 26.07.03

I just got off the phone with my niece, this is how it went:
Me: So birthday girl, you're turning two?
Her: NO!!! (slams the phone down)

After I called back her mother told me she turned and ran screamming to her room. Some women cant accept aging at all.

Abigail Blue

00:35 / 27.07.03

Finding out that my stepson, who is wee, says my name when he's asked who loves him. Also listening to my husband talk to him on the 'phone and watching his face get all glowy while he's doing it.

Anyone feel like joining my 'I'm too damn young to be a step-parent'club?

Downloading this has made me insanely happy. It's from the MTV Awards for best digital character or something like this, Gollum gets it, Andy Serkis collects the prize, then Gollum turns up, grabs it, and starts swearing at everyone. It's probably one of the best things ever!

For this week anyway.

My sister found out last night that she got a Distinction in her Grade 8 clarinet exam, and she was totally overjoyed. This is very happifying to me.

And more self-interestedly, getting the first series of Red Dwarf on DVD for £12 (even though I can only watch it on the computer, uncomfortably).

The Apple-Picker

12:18 / 27.07.03

Dessert forks.

Getting my computer to recognize my keyboard when it inexplicably wouldn't first thing this morning.

People who hardly know me helping me to get a job.

Cake for breakfast.

Spaniel

14:21 / 27.07.03

Cake for brakfast is surely only surpassed by pizza for breakfast.

stayed up all night talking and drinking with someone who is now a friend.

Sitting in the park, enjoying the Sunday mini-festival. Totally failing to sell any jewellery but blissing out to the sound of the drums, followed by the consumption of a highly diverting slice of tortilla (Spanish omlette). Heee. That green stuff really wasn't spinach, was it? Hee hee. Heee.

Hee.

Mourne Kransky

08:47 / 28.07.03

I don't have tortilla, but -

having not seen any of it first time around, I recently bought series one of 24 on dvd and have just vegged out in front of 22 hours of it over a few days. Only 2 hours to watch and that'll be done as soon as I get in from work.

I am thinking of making not watching tv a habit, just for the bliss of watching whole series uninterrupted afterwards. Only somebody at work blurted out a crucial dramatic twist from the very end of the series this morning, undermining much of the good work I'd done heretofore in keeping my ears shut.

Marvellous, and Pride too, squeezed in the middle of.

One of my mates getting married yesterday with a stupid grin on his face. Catching up with lots of old college mates at said event and drinking heavily.
