Yes, definitely. I could read in the dark last night, thanks to the extraordinarily bright moon. And yep, Twisp and Catsby always makes me smile too. You probably know this, xk, but there are at least two more hidden away in the PA archive.

Couples holding hands in the street give me a happy, especially same sex couples looking pleased with themselves. Bless.

That always gives me a happy too, except when I think that extra moment of notice could translate in error as lasciviousness, homophobia, or shock when I'm usually just thinking "aww".

Whenever I go to a larger city and witness that I think 'crap why do I live in an uptight one horse town?'

Makes me happy too.

Yeah, those are nice moments. It's so rare to see same-sex couples hand holding in Cork. There was one time, when there was a lesbian couple walking hand-in-hand towards college quite happily and openly and I just thought to myself how great it is to see them behaving so confidently.

I must have looked for too long, or had a funny look on my face because the next moment I had abuse shouted across the street at me for being an "ignorant fuck-wit who had never seen a gay couple before" and that I should "pick my jaw up off the floor."

Now I just stare at the pavement and pray that I'm not screamed at by any cute same-sex couples.

Anyway, back on topic: What makes me happy today, is knowing that in five days time I will either have passed or failed my dreaded chemistry exam and regardless of the result, I'm finally finished with chemistry forever.

xk, that picture of the Cheeky Cosmic Imp is class.

The fact that best mate's organisation and preservation skills have saved loads of old, dance, mix tapes from the late 80's / early 90's has been the root cause of my current happy high. Jim 'Shaft' Ryan couldn't mix for shit back then, but sometimes his choice of tunes could take you to amazing places. I've been dancing around my pit this evening and pulling off silly moves I'd all but forgotten. Indeed, I'd almost forgotten I can dance at all. "I wonder why, He's the greatest dancer..." What would we do without music, eh?

Oh, and this place gives me a happy as well. (e.g. Iamus' recent posts, here). It really is a relief to have somewhere to think, discuss, make a fool of yourself sometimes, but learn and hopefully grow as a person. Thanks Barbelith. (And I'll try not to apologise so much in future.)

The Emma Goldman Finishing School makes me happy. I want to live there and be part of their community. Unfortunately they're in Seattle.

I’ve had a fucking ace week. I am, like, totally spaced out with oodles of big smiley endolphins swimming around in my BRANE right now.

Also, teh art. Is so swinging again. And I’ll be back online properly soon, too (hello barbelith! *waves* How I have missed you all!). Oh, and I’m currently sozzled. Obviously. But still, life rocks. Everything’s utterly, fantabulously great. Maaaaan.

It's finally nearly spring here on the south side of the world and on the weekend we spent all saturday transplanting about a hundred onions (red and brown and leeks) and the plum tree has just started flowering and really, this makes up for everything else.

I'm conflicted, but in the most delicious way.

Some background: I've been working on doing some home recording, and have recently been playing around with MIDI and enjoying it immensely. The problem here is that I play the keyboard incredibly poorly, and keyboards are the most common method of inputting MIDI Data. Woe is me!

But wait! What's this?

The Roland GR-20 Guitar Synthesizer will read the vibration of the strings on my bass and translate that to MIDI data? Sweet! It's ridiculously expensive, but I have a craving for this in my blood. I havent had feelings like this for an inanimate object since I stopped smoking.

But what's this over here?

A paper-thin MIDI trigger that can be affixed to the neck of my guitar, bass, banjo, pants, refrigerator, or favorite stuffed animal? My mind is reeling with the possibilites!

Now if only there was a MIDI ribbon controller that I could manipulate like a large string, one that could generate continuous tones like a fretless bass or chromatic signals like a fretted instrument. It would be even cooler if it was touch and pressure sensitive. That would be like pure sex. What? Such a thing exists?

So, like I said. Conflicted. Which one should I buy first? This is like having to choose which of three pies to eat first. Pies filled with magic and love.

Following on somewhat tangentially from that - The Stranger (Seattle based magazine) tells us all how to start taking money from homophobic Christian group, Focus on the Family. Bankrupting bigots = happy!

There is an air display happening in Eastbourne as I type, and I'm gazing in awestruck wonderment as two bi-planes twist and turn through a cloudless sky.

Their lack of speed is amusing, however, as is the realisation that if I was involved in a WW1 dogfight I'd more likely die of boredom than in a hail of Von-Richtofen's bullets.

Also, of course, this display of 20th century aeronautical engineering has engendered plenty of stamping round the office bellowing phrases from Commando comics, which never fails to brighten a day.

It´s much brighter and bigger than the picture shows and it is still there, spreading happy vibrations through Barbelith´s rainbow coloured forii.

I took the groceries out of the trunk and went to *firmly* close the car's hatchback. I'd noticed it was a wet in the trunk from the rain the night before. Obviously the hatch hadn't been closed properly. So I made a conscious effort to *firmly* close it...it shattered into many many pieces. Cut to me standing in a pile of glass with a dumbfounded look and a broken car. Fahk!

I was sort of in shock and called the auto glass peoples then the spouse. The spouse's first question was if I was ok. Later I asked him if he was mad at me and the spouse gave me a great big hug and told me only assholes yell/get mad at people for accidents.

It's taken me a while but I've figured out that the opposite of betrayed is protected and the opposite of disappointment is to have your expectations exceeded.

They tell you can die of a broken heart but no one ever tells you you can be reborn from a mended one.

Collecting 10 BFI Film Classics books makes me happy, in the same way as collecting 35 (or so) Penguin 70s made me happy last Autumn. I just like colour-coded spines. I like collecting I suppose. And sets, and books. It seems particular appropriate to hoard like this in Autumn, season of cocooning.






It's great to see what Ganesh looks like (more or less) too.
