things that make me happy...

1. Having a nice and relaxing Christmas with family.
2. Having people that know stuff about computers and can make mine actually work. Thanks to Jim I have a new, working, upgraded cd drive, and thanks to Jerry the pop-up that would, um, pop-up every minute or two is long gone.
3. New music. Or at least new to me; recorded in 1996 and 2003 respectively, I highly recommend Mike Doughty's Skittish and Rockity Roll!
4. Music on shuffle mode. Seriously, what is better than Buddy Holly followed by The Shins. Fantastic.
   
5. Cookies. Cookies make me happy.
6. Sufjan Stevens "The Worst Christmas Ever" Get if for free on iTunes *
   
7. Changes. Changes like the ones done here. I say that a new (almost) year deserves a new layout. Hope you like it.
   

...Stay tuned for my first attempt at a Roast Chicken.

*update* This is no longer free, but go ahead a buy it or others. Trust me on this one.
