Five random things that make me happy.

Music, Photography, Youtube Add comments

1. My Coca-Cola soda glasses. I got them really cheap at Blockbuster, of all places.

2. This photo:

3. This video of Nick Cave recording a Birthday Party song. Wait a bit until it shows him just doing the vocals w/no music:

The guy’s intense.

4. Tootsie Rolls.

5. Henry David Thoreau:

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

How about you?

    1. A piano student not showing up during a busy piano lesson day so I have time to sit around or do laundry or blog while my kids are occupied with the sitter.
    2. A brand new bar of soap.
    3. Hearing Journey on the radio.
    4. Bright pink toenails. Especially mine.
    5. Hiking in the mountains without a timetable, so we can go as slow as we want. But it hasn’t happened yet –this is why it’s random. :)

    Someone on a phone call today used the phrase:

    “It’s not necessarily necessary”

    That made me happy.

    Nick Cave makes me very, very happy. (I’ve been ripping all my music onto an external drive, and I have 33 hours 50 minute, 35 seconds worth of his music. That’s how happy.)

    1. Driving all the way through town at 3 in the afternoon in the middle of summer. You get all green lights because it’s so hot outside no one is out and about.

    2. A cool smoothie straw I bought at Juice it Up today. It has a little smoothie at the top that fills up with smoothie while it goes through to the top.

    3. Peppermint patties. Junior mints.

    4. Finding $5 in my purse I thought I gave to someone else.

    5. Going a day without hearing anything political.
