Pocketfuls are "upcycled" matchboxes, made by webmyrcury. She hand-paints each one based on a theme, character, or idea you supply, then fills the box with little matching things. They're beautiful, tiny, and oh so cute ( Read more... )

I'm really falling down on this Happy Thing effort, but it's more because I post happy things and forget to number them than for lack of happy things. (How did I not count that Japanese gum video of the cat carrying the man to work? That still makes me happy after countless viewings! And Hannibal is currently eating my brain (haha), that should ( Read more... )

Happily I didn't freeze last night, though I can't say as much for Ellie New Cat. Poor girl kept trying to sleep on my bed, but I kicked her each time (not on purpose!). She bat-bat-batted my foot each time, then fled the bed ( Read more... )

Happy coincidence that the numbers synched up ( Read more... )

Happy things can be big or small. #10 is a pretty small one, but it's had me smiling and grinning for a day, so it certainly counts.

I haven't been enjoying The Walking Dead for a while now. I loved the first season or two, but my enjoyment of it has been going downhill fast, and then fell through the floor when [Spoiler from early this season] Carol seemed to be gone from the ( Read more... )

A year ago, I would have said that just plain "Big Brother" made me happy, but the US version of the show has become a cesspool. Last season a large chunk of the cast was horribly racist and homophobic. They know they're filmed and broadcast 24/7, but that didn't stop them from such disgusting behavior. A number of them were so awful they lost ( Read more... )

Doctor OKed me for going back to work full time. That's both good and bad, as I was really starting to enjoy a half-day schedule (so much free time!). And, even though my toe is awfully red, she said it's healing well and no sign of infection. Is it possible? Am I currently infection-free? So it seems! Yay ( Read more... )

Thanks, local electric company. The power went out just after 6 AM this morning, and you called me just now at 8:15 to tell me the power was out in my area. You think ( Read more... )
