-Squarecat comics, by Jennifer Omand. I just read volume one from the library, but you can also read them online here. It's a diary told in comic form, with Jennifer as a square cat, her boyfriend Matt is a bird and their friends are other animals.
They are silly little non-stories with punchlines that aren't always that funny, because they're real life stories and in real life, the punchlines aren't always that clever. I love them. Especially ones like this which I can read and go 'I've totally done that.'
-Musical theatre the other day, watching Cats, I was overwhelmed with joy. It was during the Skimbleshanks song, which if you know it, you'll know how upbeat and fast and fun a song it is. It got to the bit where they make a train on stage with umbrellas and stuff and I saw a couple of cats run on with wheels and the thought of them making the train just made me so happy. I was sitting there grinning like a freak. I love it.
-Naps help me function.
-Baths. They remain a wonderful thing in my new bath.
-Snuggles with Lee, I get them every day but I never get sick of them.
Playing font of fame and watching your friends throw themselves into bizarre mimes. The hilarity of people just not getting it, and then the satisfaction when you are miming something and someone gets it.
-Dreaming about becoming a published author and someday supporting myself on it. Also, taking steps towards it, like spending time rewriting the final draft. Yes, final! I am going to start submitting it soon!
I also enjoy leftovers for lunch, looking at Giffy's bento boxes, playing with Softimus Prime, browsing the IKEA catalog, and looking at Wigs having breakfast. Also the smell of meat slow cooking. Mmmm.
PoF: grey
CO: not enough time for the things I love
It should really go without saying, but please do add your own list of things you are thankful for this week. The more happiness we share the more smiley I feel...and I'm grumpy and sick, so I need it.
