Love Life. Birthday Edition.

Its finally starting to feel like my birthday week is coming to an end.  Despite feeling like a vagabond with the flu, the little things in life are still pretty neat.

Here is the list of little things that have made me happy, recently:

• Making mushroom barley soup while listening to a William Shatner album.
• Constantly hearing Devon singing on commercial breaks knowing that he’s finally making he bank that he deserves.
• My grandmother laughing uncontrollably to break up tension between my mother and I.
• Hand sewing dolls till sunset in the new and improved Riverside Park.
• Braving Time Square to see Star Trek in IMAX with a polite yet loud mouthed friend embarrassing people who ‘hold seats’. A theater thats %40 full, and we can’t find two seats next to each other? 
• Making up ridiculous dances to ridiculous songs. Recording them in Photobooth. And laughing at myself when I’m down.
• Renaming songs in my iTunes to titles that I find more fitting for the artist who wrote them. Like love songs called “Singing Shit I Should Eat”
• Going to Fairway for lemonade at midnight simply because its warm out and I can. I don’t even like lemonade.
• Laughing loudly at mildly funny things. Like Saturday Night Live.
• Sleeping for 20 hours, to avoid sickness. Its like I’ve hibernated and am ready for this new season.
• Creating full playlists on Blip.
• Deciding when its ok to give up, and give in to chocolate dinners at Max Brenners. 
• Having long phone conversations with old friends who have a mutual hatred for using cell phones, while their on vacation. Makes a girl feel missed.
• Being the chocolate ice cream tester for Fine & Raw Chocolates.
• Receiving a mystery bundle of hardcover Woody Allen books, for my birthday.
• Doing something fun before realizing that its potentially really gross. (Free Kayaking on the Hudson) 
• Getting to see the clip of Hank Azaria at the end of the stupid Ben Stiller movie preview. Azaria is one of my favorite actors. I think its the fact that he can play so many characters with a lisp.
• Getting a man made cake box filled with bones sent to work, when I’m having a bad day.
• Cute baristas making cute pandas out of coffee.
• Buying a new colored felt pen every week (one a week ’cause their so damn expensive), and adding a scribble in it to my sketch book.
• American Nightmares self titled album in the morning. I get really stoked waking up to Protest #00.
• Making prints of my digital photos, in large scale, aaand selling them
