Things that are making me happy this week

[ironymaiden]

this has a been a tough week. I'm okay, good people are not.

• Seafair is on. in Ballard, that means Seafood fest. i bought ginger-infused honey from a taciturn old white guy who was wearing a sweater with a hole in it and could barely interact enough to take my money. There's the combo dim sum/elephant ear stand. I had a locally made birch beer. I had a pickled herring sandwich. I nearly collapsed from ecstasy taking my first bite of deep fried bacon cinnamon roll. I finished it while watching awesome little girls do a skateboard slalom competition.


• apparently, once a year i facilitate mimerki's purchase of awesome shoes. If this is my superpower, i accept it.


• Google sheep view


• touchstones. I was looking through my yarn stash to pick out a worsted weight for a project, and i had stories to tell for every scrap and skein. Gifts, souvenirs, milestones in learning to knit and spin. So many good memories and good people.


• Planet Earth is on Netflix. So amazing.

OMG i go camping soon!

Edited to add: the issue of Hawkeye told from the dog's POV. It's not a gimmick, it's the best way they could reveal information to the reader through the eyes of a character. I've reread it a few times because there's so much going on. Seriously a masterful use of the medium.

I won't say that I can die happy now, but I can certainly die more entertained. :-)

I am wearing new athletic shoes and sparklepony socks to work today. <3
