Springtime

[bop_radar]

August, my least favourite month, is finally drawing to a close. August is the coldest month in Melbourne and I have developed a superstitious distrust of it over the years--it has frequently been a month that has brought bad news, stress and sorrow. And this year has been no different. But it is nearly over and the fact that I can smell spring in the air is giving me cause for optimism. Today was a balmy twenty-five degrees and I pulled a sundress out of the cupboard. The cherry blossom is out and everything feels a little lighter.

So today I'm making a post about random things that are currently making me happy.
- My cat is recovering much better now (thanks for the kind thoughts everyone!).
- sv_ledger is back from hiatus and this makes me feel like Season Seven is getting closer... I miss Smallville so much! :( I even miss the illogical plots and the crazy fan wars! Somebody saaaaave me before I go rewatching Ageless...
- My Friday Night Lights dvds have been posted and I am omgsoexcited!
- bradcpu is watching Heroes and the mere idea that his clever clever brain might be combined with the prettiness of Heroes to produce a spectacular vid is very happy-making.
- bsg_crack! Clearly a brilliant idea. :D
- Beta-ing for brokenmnemonic who is making amazing leaps and bounds in vidding (Lee vid and squeeful Kara awesomeness with a Kara/Lee slant--such productivity! I be jealous. *g*) I love beta-ing vids and it was such a pleasure to help with these.
- On the subject of vids, m_a_r_i_k_s's Kara-centric 24 blew me away. I'm still catching my breath and getting the lump out of my throat.
- literaryll: I have finally finished all the comics and am itching to get to the store for more. Thank you SO much for enriching my life with them! *hugs*
- The vitamins prescribed by my doc are finally making me more wakeful (without caffeine!).
- I'm vidding. :) I fell into a bit of a malaise there for a while, but I think I'm working my way out of it.

So what is making you happy today? :)

Glad to hear your cat is doing better.*hugs*

Watching the US Open, paying special ogling attention to Roddick and Federer, is making me happy this week.

Looking forward to a new season of Smallville as well.

I keep intending to watch Friday Night Lights but it seems a little too close to home as I grew up in a mid-sized city in Texas. I'm visiting my family this week and today in the newspaper there was a huge glossy insert, "The Pigskin Preview," detailing how all the local high school teams are projected to do this fall. *rolls eyes*

Awww, icon!! Thank you. :)

I love FNL but I've read some decent critiques of it based on the fact that it's not an accurate portrayal of the culture. For me, it's such an alien culture anyway, I view it entirely as fiction. But the fact that it's close to home for many people (and was based on a non-fiction work) must complicate their viewing. For me, it's just really good television--the way they balance the ensemble cast, the natural performances, the well-rounded characters, etc. Plus it's pretty!
