Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudel.

After some discussion [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 and I have decided we're vetoing this month. (Did I not tell you, Q? Executive decision, baby!)

So, while we await the changing of the tide/moon/karma and the proliferation of male!skating!slash (don't front I know y'all are gonna turn this stuff out), I thought to myself, "Self, all is not flaming poo and Sarah Palin. There must be some things that make you happy."

So, this post is to talk about happy things.

Jeff Buckley bootlegs make me happy. So do puppies. Christina Hendricks (shocking). Really anthemic work out music (feel free to share if you've got some!). Finding new artists. Quality public transportation. Disney movies make me happy (except for, like, Snow White which freaked me out in my formative years). Old movies with Marilyn Monroe or Paul Newman. Musicals. Double whammy of The Daily Show and Colbert Report. My guitar. Bacon. Good stories fanfic or pro. Books.

I could go on all day. And I possibly will, but now it's your turn, we all know what pisses us off, but what makes you happy? Is it a story? A song? A photo? An old shirt? A movie?

I bet you'll feel better just talking about it!

(Because I failed to speak up and say hi on lurkers day) This week it's Damian Lewis that is making me happy, first in Band of Brothers, and now I'm working my way slowly through Life (which has the added bonus of Sarah Shahi, who is also the awesome, and random happy making Michael Cudlitz guest starring, except his neck tattoo kind of freaks me out).
Also, cheap former Valentines candy, yay heart shaped Dove chocolates! (except for how they come with weird advice from Martha Stewart of all people)

LIFE!! How were you so awesome? I miss having Dani and Charlie on my screen. Are you on S1 or 2?

I love their partnership SO much. I just finished 2.9, so um, ack, cliffhanger!

Hello! (and now to vanish back into the lurk zone)

Except, also, your Christina Hendricks yay is also making the world a happier place, I love seeing links of her randomly popping up!
