What Made Me Happy (Yesterday)

[castalie]

I wanted to post this entry yesterday but I think it was cursed because I had to re-do it about a dozen times. I'm trying again - to see if aforementioned curse has been broken.

So. What made me happy yesterday - and still does today, I guess :

1. Most of our co-workers are away for a three-day seminar - Boss Man included - and though they're all pretty cool - Boss Man included - it's always nice to have some peace and quiet. Work is still hectic but it's done in a quieter atmosphere - except for how I need to edit this part because today? Might be a sloooow day.

2. In part due to #1 I managed to work almost undisturbed on a project I had yesterday and not only did I meet the deadline, but I actually pwned it because I finished early \o/ It's always nice when you feel all accomplished :-)

3. It snowed! Again! Third week in a row we get some snow, this is nothing short of a miracle. I'm more and more hopeful of getting some better snow later on, ie snow that sticks and makes everything white and oh so pretty *hopes*

4. I've listened to Folie à Deux and I love it! So, at first, I'll admit that I sorta listened to 20 Dollar Nose Bleed in a loop, thus making it sound like the whole album was, in fact, made of just one song - but what a song! - but yesterday morning I finally listened to the rest and oh, it's fantastic! I already have some favourites - in addition to 20 Dollar Nose Bleed, obviously - but the figures might go up very soon.

5. angeliksmall came to my place yesterday - we decided to make that a weekly occurence, a sort of Cookie & Mouse Tuesday - except it might happen on other days than Tuesdays but whatever. We've mainlined series one of The IT Crowd and it's official, this show should come with a warning "might cause death due to too much laughing". It's hilarious! And I know I said Moss was my favourite, and he still is, but Jen is running close because she's all kinds of awesome and she cracks me up and I love her. A lot ♥ ♥ Not that I don't love Roy, btw, but Moss and Jen are #1.

6. I decorated my Christmas tree, so yesterday while we were having a nice little Starbucks, I lit it and the living room basked in a lovely Christmassy atmosphere. Also, we gave each other our presents so they were under the tree for a while and it was quite a lovely sight. Mine is still under the tree, obviously, so it's still a lovely sight. Yay presents!

Cookie and Mouse tuesday, I love saying that lol

I'll put my gift under my christmas tree too (when I'll have it lol).

It does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? :-)

I'm your first pressie, whee! I never get the whole 'first comment yay' but 'first pressie'? Totally works!

Someone else who love the snow! Fuck yeah!

Where are you from?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Snow lovers unite!

I'm from France, near Paris. Where we seldom get snow, so whenever we do get some, it's like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one :-) I'm just hoping we'll get enough snow that it'll stick to the ground and cover everything... even if it's just for one day *fingers crossed*

[girlluvsguns.livejournal.com]

Sounds magical! I wish you had pics. I love France bye the way, I was there for a couple in 2006, it was breathtaking.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

If it snows enough that it covered all of Paris, I'll try to take some pics ;-)

I'm always delighted when foreigners enjoyed my country, so go you!

[turlough]

It's so unfair! Everyone else is getting snow - England, Belgium, France! - but now we here in Sweden *sulks*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Don't be jealous, I'm sure once it finally does snow at your place, you'll put us all to shame :-)

2. Rock on! :D

3. Yay for you!

4. I've been listening to Folie à Deux all day (with way too many interruptions. stupid professors with their stupid talking and expecting us to listen :D) and while I'm gonna need a while more and at least one uninterrupted listening to fully decide on the favourites, overall I have much, much love. ♥

Folie à Deux is so good! My poor MP3 is all dead this afternoon because I used it too much. Poor little dude!

Re: 1 to 6: fantastic day indeed! I just love it when I read your happy posts :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of service :-)

I love FaD, too. 20 Dollar Nose Bleed is my favorite, at the moment, with (Coffee's for Closers) and Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes following closely behind. But it's a great album to listen to start-to-finish. \o/

[castalie.livejournal.com]

(Coffe's for Closers) is my second favourite of the album too :-)

I agree, it is a great album from start to finish *loves*

You finally listened to the rest of the songs? I'm amazed at your willpower! *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol You're impressed, aren't you? For good reasons, too!

PS: I so need an icon of dorky!bden!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I need so many icons. In a way it's good I had to delete so many because I have a nice clean slate. But sis, if I end up with 100 Mikey Way icons will you give me the reality slap?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I so wish they did the whole icons-à-la-carte thing they keep mentioning here and there. Cause this would totally make my day! Year, even!

if I end up with 100 Mikey Way icons will you give me the reality slap?

Well, if I really have to I guess I can try! But no guarantee I'll succeed!

Où est-tu pourquoi tu ne réponds pas à ton téléphone *cries*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol Désolée, j'avais pas entendu mon portable. Mais je continue à dire que j'avais répondu au fixe ! Enfin bon, on a réussi à s'avoir, donc tout est bien qui finit bien :-)
