It's February, which let's face it isn't often the best month so I decided it would be fun to make a list of the things that are making me happy right now! fyi: Things are going okay for me, it's just a busy, stressful time at work. Now, onto the good things:
My happy list ... in no particular order
1. My girlfriend is coming to visit in 12 days!!!!
2. Thanks to the kind anonymous person who gifted me with some yummy virtual candy hearts!! They totally brightened my day to receive them!
3. Thanks to the lovely person who nominated Murder at the Neptune Express at the Fang Fetish Awards in the "Unique Universes - Best crossover with the NON BTVS/ATs world" category. This pleases me a lot because I really love that fic! *g*
So this next part of the list is all the TV shows that are making me happy:
4. Grey's Anatomy - I continue to enjoy the show so much. And it's always good for a cathartic cry.
5. Friday Night Lights - So I've now seen the first 10 episodes and totally love this show!! It's beautifully shot, well-written and has compelling characters and storylines. I'm so excited to see more episodes because I've been hearing just how fabulous it's been recently. I know this may seem like a weird comparison but it fills the hole that Everwood left.
6. 30 Rock - This is the show that snuck up on me and before I knew it, I was hooked. Alec Baldwin in particular is so funny and steals every scene. And this show fills the hole that Arrested Development left.
7. Ugly Betty - This is the show I didn't know I was missing in my life. My friend and I have been watching a couple of episodes together each week and are totally addicted. I'm really pleased with how they're dealing with the latest plot twist and revelations - it's really making me happy. I adore all the characters especially Betty and her friendship with Daniel, and Justin, he's so fabulous!
8. The Office - This show continues to be brilliant! I love how they can be poignant and then shift on a moment to funny and cringey. The Joss directed episode rocked - loved the vampire references and the art show scene at the end.
9. Heroes - I always look forward to the new episodes and always enjoy the show. And omg, how creepy is Sylar?!
And now onto music that's making me happy.
10. Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Lovesounds. I've been surprised by how much I enjoy this - it's so uplifting.
11. Lily Allen's Alright Still. When we had this on at work last night, I was actually dancing. Definitely an amazing album that always cheers me up, and wow is she talented!
Oh, I must list some food and drinks!
12. The Baklava from the new and awesome Falafel place near my work.
13. That I can still get Peppermint Hot Chocolates from Starbucks!
Hmmm, I can't end on #13 so I must end with:
14. Curling! I went curling with my work on Friday and it was so much fun! I actually was kinda good AND my team won!
So, tell me what's making you happy right now!! *g*

calm

Oh yay! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying 30 Rock too! It has won me over. I'm now trying to remember which episode made me love it - I think it was the one "The Head and the Hair" where Jack worked for Kenneth (omg - how awesome is Kenneth?!!). Anyway, much love for 30 Rock! I totally need a 30 Rock icon!
I am soooooo jealous of your weather! I love that temperature, er seriously, it's my ideal temperature. (I had to look it up in Celsius). It's actually about -6 Fahrenheit here right now so I'm especially jealous. I don't deal with cold well - which is funny considering I grew up in a city with much harsher and colder winters than Toronto. But I am glad that you have nice weather because I wouldn't wish the cold on you! :D
I was going to get a 30 Rock icon and then reply with it, but then realized if I did that I'd never reply since it'll take a while to find icons I like, and then I'll get distracted and forget I was going to reply to your comment! *randomly uses Scrubs icon instead*
yeah, good tv... it's so hard to find!
