After some discussion 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!

"Self, all is not flaming poo and Sarah Palin. There must be some things that make you happy."

I kinda <3 you.

Florence + The Machine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da6bBKLPEGg&feature=related). The new Massive Attack album, which I somehow did not know about until you asked for it a couple posts ago. The String Quartet Tribute to Massive Attack, fuck, I love it so much, which got me listening to other String Quartet Tributes. Diana returning to White Collar (http://www.tvfanatic.com/2010/02/marsha-thomason-promoted-to-series-regular-on-white-collar/)--I'm waiting for the scene where she makes out with Natalie Morales. Sherlock Holmes and while I loved the boys, I loved both the girls just as much. Kalinda (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3359803648/nm0659544) from The Good Wife, she freaking pwned everyone's collective ass last ep. I'm half in love with her. Frozen raspberries. My blanket, which is gorgeous and soft and warm. Salted peanuts with Twix, trust me. The tv option on the elliptical machine that allows me to watch TDS and TCR instead of monitoring my heart rate and calories lost. The Manpain Flowchart (http://walkingshadow.dreamwidth.org/1431.html). The water pressure in my shower. My small accomplishments, whether anyone knows about them or not. Discovering and marathoning Kitchen Confidential (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460654/) while laughing my ass off. Awesome fic recs from fandoms that I don't follow. Feist and her flying toast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYF0qU5WSew). Baking. Having a working washer and dryer in my apartment.

Thank you for linking to the news about Diana/Marsha Thomason. I was disappointed to not see her after the first couple of episodes, because I thought there was a lot of potential there.

I love Kitchen Confidential! When it was on the air (for that whole two seconds) rageprufrock nifra_idril and I used to write it. Yet another example of being shafted by FOX! Also, I'm rather fond of the String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead, at least to Karma Police, but I LOVE Karma Police.

Diana returning to White Collar

Oh, thank you for this! I was afraid they really were just gonna ignore her existence.
