Daily Happiness post

1. This post by general_jinjur which is about podfic, emotions, embodiment, meta, fandom, diversity, and joy.

2. Going for walks makes me happy! Going for walks has become my go-to thing to do when I am anxious, restless, angry, bored, tired, or just unsure what to do with myself. My neighborhood has many trees, at least one blonde (palomino? tawny?) squirrel that I keep seeing, one house with rainbow flags, a community garden, a dog park, and a river/stream.

3. Taking photos! I just love taking photos! shutterspeed makes me happy.

4. I spent some money to get a stereo (that I already owned) installed in my car. Now I can listen to CDs while driving. This has improved my quality of life immediately.

5. Janelle Monae. Aw yeah.

6. TRUE BLOOD, but I am not caught up yet so please don't spoil me.

Walks are awesome. I can't believe how rarely I walk along the waterfront being that I live near the ocean.

I really like that Janelle Monae tightrope video. if I bought an album, which would you recommend?

[sasha_feather]

I would recommend "The Archandroid" (which has "Tightrope" on it) but both of them are fantastic. Together they tell a story about a android who falls in love with a human, which is forbidden in her society, and the government orders her destruction.

Yay happy list posts! :)

I used to love walking around my near east side neighborhood. Here in Apartment Complex Land it's not nearly as thrilling. I miss all the natural gardens, critters, other hippie-type people taking walks, funky lawn decorations, etc. Now it's just manicured lawns and litter on the streets. Ah well. It's still exercise and fresh air at least!
