What's making you happy today? - Page 241

We met two more of our neighbors. One older man, living alone, and a couple with two kids (in local colleges). The all seem like nice people.

Mr. Clod installed the new sink in the guest bathroom! This one is smaller and more compact, which is important in such a tiny corner bathroom, but it also does not have ugly decorative pointy bits all around the bowl's edge right at the perfect height to impale a toddler's head. And he has already removed a third of the wallpaper too.

Finished watching series 3 Dexter last night. Bloody hell what a good story. That's the way to do tv series. In a big block across a couple of weeks.

It's a little thing but it makes me happy lol.

Telephone interview tomorrow for a sysadmin position.

It doesn't pay like my old job did, and it's an hour's drive away in Bucks County (and I hate long commutes). I'd have to get the shocks done on the Cellar Car -- but at least there's a Cellar Car to get me there!

Good luck UT!

I'm happy because I'm leaving an hour early today. Yes, a mere extra hour of free time makes me very happy.

I need to watch that show. I loved Michael C Hall in 6FU. I was thinking I saw an episode of it some time ago, but I don't have Showtime so I wondered how: then I saw on wikipedia that an edited version of the series began airing on CBS on February 17, 2008 to make up for the shortage of new content caused by the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike

I'll have to look for it on DVD.

DanaC · 03-30-2009, 12:03 PM

Oh, don't get the edited version. Really, really. You want to see it in it's full form.

And it needs watching from the start. Not that someone couldn't get into it off the back of a random episode, but it would lose a lot of its depth and subtlety.

Shawnee123 · 03-30-2009, 12:06 PM

Yeah, that's what I figured too. I could get a season at a time, or however it's sold. I just bet I'm going to love it.

New MacBook today - birthday present!
Whoo!

Ibby · 03-30-2009, 01:17 PM

And dana:
OMGYES. I absolutely ADORE Dex.
About her repeatedly dying lemon tree: "I just.. kill things!"
Dex: "That must be terrible."

I just love the deadpan irony of Dex's character, the beautiful blend of comedy and drama, the right blend of sex, violence, and the cleaner stuff... its just a really brilliant show. One of the best around.

Fingers crossed good vibes positive visualisation focused manifestation really really want this to happen.....

DanaC · 03-30-2009, 06:58 PM

Ooo! Good luck Tony!

I have a crush on a friend.

It makes me happy because it means my banged-up heart is finally healing enough for me to feel something for someone new... even if it's a very safe someone new and it won't go anywhere.
