Ten Things That Make Me Happy
By Cornelia
1. Chris Rock's advice about how not to get your ass kicked by the police.
2. The best essay I have EVER read on book deals...
Why the term "A Nice Deal" leaves a little to be desired in terms of being an accurate categorization
3. B Kliban's extremely noir cats
4. Colonel Kilgore of the Air Cav
5. Cool Baby Clothes
6. Le Roi et mort, vive le Roi part I
7. Andy Riley's The Book of Bunny Suicides
8. Murray and Nick playing "their song" in A Thousand Clowns
9. Margaux Lange's dismembered Barbie Jewelry
10. Monty Python: The Lego Years
11. Free online readings from Salem Tarot
And the Hollywood Tarot
12. What Have The Romans Ever Done for Us?
13. The rapidity with which Eliot-Spitzer-themed apparel has come on the market
14. Photographs from Steichen's The Family of Man exhibition
15. Remembering hanging out with Bill Fassett over Ambrosiaburgers at Nepenthe, back in the good old days when people still danced in the daylight.

Dusty beat me to it.
Miss C, your posts always brighten my day.
Thank you.
What Dusty said ;-)
Perfect.
The cat between the knife and magnet store is my new favorite.
YOu have good taste.

Oh, I LOVE the Family of Man. I have a dog-earred copy from yon years of yore. Great post, Ms. C.

Oh, I just love this post, Miss. C. And I had to watch the Lego Pythons. I used to have the one where the little Lego Pythons were singing "We're knights of the Round Table..." book marked. Love the Lego screening room - some people have way too much time on their hands. :-D
Ditto the Evolucion t-shirt and the bunny between the knife store and the magnet store. Mind you, the bunny 'death by dvd player' is just plain spooky. :-D
Cheers,
Marianne
Glad you guys liked these!
Paulie, the "evolucion" t-shirt is from Busted Tees, at:

Patty, I just found out that there's a permanent exhibition of the last set of original Family of Man prints in Luxembourg, which I really want to see someday. It's in Clervaux. Never thought I'd have a reason to go to L'burg...
You and your posts make me happy! I have always loved Kilgore's cats & the Book of Bunny Suicides is most excellent!

Sleep.
The fact that one of your Barbie eyes in your necklace winked at me proves I'm not getting enough of it.
(So does the structure of the above sentence.)
1) Seeing stupid people bring harm and shame unto themselves
2) beer
3) 1) w/ 2)
4) Victory (Kilgore knows.)
5) 1) w/ 2) w/ 4)
6) a well-turned battle or halftime speech
7) the sound of a Merlin engine on low fast fly-by
8) post-game soreness ("pain is proof of life")
9) jalapeños on top of pretty much anything edible
10) all of the above, rolled together into a tortilla

Okay, Brett:

Ooh! Spitfire flyby. Hoowaah is RIGHT! Very cool. Ta, Brett.
We watched the documentary about the life of the English Royal family - behind the scenes - and they showed a vintage RAF plane flyby. Brought huge smiles to our faces. :-D I'm exRAAF and just love the vintage propeller planes. Been up in one fighter jet - never, ever, ever, again. Urp.

I loved them all, of course I did, and you too, but oh...A Thousand Clowns! I can't begin to tell you how much that simple little clip affected me. Thank you.
