Lost Symbol

Without spoiling anyone, I thought that it was not as addictive as Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons. Hell, I think it's even less addictive than Deception Point... Maybe it's because I'm getting tired of the Robert Langdon character. I know it's very useless to be impatient towards a fictitious character, but still... he's just one lucky mofo... frigging dumb.

Since I don't have much to say but I still want to write, here's a list of random things that make me happy.

Finding money in pocket when I change pants/jackets/coats.
Having OJ and AJ in the fridge. Having rice in the cooker, water in the tank.
Hearing songs I recognize and like from some years ago.
Febreze, and the little scented sheets you put in the dryer.
Bear hugs.
Chicago the musical and all the songs in it.
Jimmy Eat World.
Soaking my feet in warm water, or any tiny change in temperature - hugging the colder part of the blanket, going into a steamy shower...
Showering with the window open and sun shining through.
Bubblebath while reading a good novel.
Magnets (soooo convenient).
Interesting piece of piano that's just a tiny bit challenging to play.
That first sip of beer.
A plate of well made fried rice.

That Hugo Boss cologne.

My dog, even when he's being bad.

Family time with tea and cards / mahjong.

Having someone play me a piece of music, and sing along.
Nailing those keyboard shortcuts so I don't have to move my hands and use the mouse.

Clever use of trumpets in music pieces especially songs.

Food that's original, well made and true to its intention/claim, reasonably priced

Giving gifts that people like and wrapping it well

tbc.... one of those days.
