looking on the bright side

to prevent this blog from becoming a big whine-fest and a maudlin self-indulgence, i will now fight off the nearly irresistible urge to bitch about another crappy day and do the impossible: list the good things that have happened today. lucky for you guys, this one will be short : )

• my cereal wasn't stale
• a decent selection of clean underwear - not just the crappy, everything-else-is-dirty pair
• those m&ms a firm put in my mailbox a couple months ago to woo me were stored safely in my locker for just such necessary occasion
• by some sort of miracle of fate my headphones were in my car. this has two pleasant after-effects: 1. i can listen to suicide rock in the library; 2. while listening to music in the library am blissfully ignorant to rattling of the m&m wrapper and thus not feeling one iota of guilt about making noise
• full tank of gas - no need to spend even more money
• http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2681181 - ya'll, seriously, this is fantastic, and as it turns out, i know a girl who knows the guy who made it. touch me. i'm so special.

see, things aren't so bad, nik.
