At the moment, if I go and stand outside the house, 35-40 minutes after sunset a couple of hundred geese fly over at about 30 feet in a beautiful arrangement of v-shaped formations.
Nothing special, ordinary geese have just taken off from the meadows to fly up the valley to rest a night and they're back around elevenses in the morning. :bowler:
What are yours ?
Dry socks.
After a generally crappy morning commute I always take a look out the window as the LRT crosses the North Saskatchewan river valley for a good 30 seconds of natural beauty.
Before going back underground. <_<
There's a bum who burns incense around the corner.
Yesterday, two cats were hanging out by business affairs. I was able to pet one.
Hearing the calls of birds surviving in the area around my home during the Winter. Black capped chickadees, nuthatches, etc.

I had to ship her off to Milan in my freshman year, because my father was unwilling to keep her around the house without me to care for her. I hope she's well, but who can say? She wouldn't have been allowed in Martin's dorms. Of course, now that there is no house to return to and the dorm is the only home, I am a bit farther from being able to have a cat. It is quite unfortunate. I miss Ennui very much.
(It should be noted Milan is a town in northwest Tennessee)

The perfect "Gotcha" moment.
Yi's cock.
sometimes with weird lighting and fog and everything the mountains can suddenly look rather beautiful from random places. Cameras just cant capture it
Sex, Beer, and Heavy Metal.
Grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of hot tomato soup.
reading, writing, walking, also experiencing anything artfully made from film to painting to video games to food to whatever.
Unfortunately, this is a strictly anhedonic zone.
The kind of dump that makes your eyes tear up and your nipples hard.
Finding Well's Bombardier at the Piggly Wiggly in Myrtle Beach. :wub:
Finding anything good open on Sunday in Utah.
Having a girlfriend who is not a picky eater - I haven't yet found anything that she doesn't like. :licklips:
This makes it pretty easy to cook, and going out is pretty dang hassle-free.
There's nothing wrong with being a picky eater.

Working that sphincter not to shit my pants as I hobble to a pharmacy one block from here to get some anti-diarrhea medicine after a night of a violent stomach flu onset

He'll crack you up with the most unexpected things. I was driving my kid home from the babysitter when he was about 2 1/2 years old & I broke my sunglasses trying to bend them back into shape (both lenses popped out & I cursed under my breath about it). So Tommy immediately says, "Don't worry, Daddy. We'll get you a new glasses."
Awh kids :hug:
Looking forward to going down that road.
English drizzle.
Being out of a evening in it is quite pleasant, it's only the slightest of rain, doesn't really get you wet, just a little bit more than damp and it seems to keep people off the streets and roads. :cool:

don't put it off too long. I think you're around the same age as me, and I'm already feeling kind of old to be a new dad. Lots of people the same age as me have kids up to 10 years older, and I'm having to balance in my planning the fact that graduation and retirement will happen at the same time.
And it's only going to get worse when the next one arrives in June. :o

Yeah I'm happy I got the first before 30.
In our circle people seemd to have gotten them either like us, late 20s, or 5-8 years later, and it is those latecomers that suffer the most, and tend to be far more worried about everything.
I think their kids will grow into pampered and bullied little creatures :D

Meh, having kids at a young age is over rated. You were poor ten years ago. Now you can afford to provide in a way you could have not done 10 years ago.
