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!

a) What kind of fieldwork do you do if you don't mind my asking?

b) What is a teacup pig? I assume this is not bacon in a jar.

a) For my M.Sc, I studied the effects of climate change on tundra plants in the Torngat Mountains in northern Labrador, which is an indescribably beautiful place when you're not being pursued by bears :)

b) Teacup pigs are itty-bitty pigs that a English breeder sells as pets and are ridiculously adorable. Although bacon in a jar would also make me happy :)

Running from bears. BEARS?! Wow. You... bears, huh? *shakes head*

Also, I now think there should be a song called bacon in a jar.

Well, Whiskey in the Jar is a very good song, especially when the Dubliners sing it :)

And it takes surprisingly little time and effort for bears to move from "Ahh! Annoying bear! Get off my field site, I'm trying to work!" to "Ohshit, charging behaviour! Time to bunch together and look big!"
