Ever have one of those days where everything seems right?

go to sleep after my LJ paid account expires and being reintroduced to WoW and having a blast, and being mentioned in a strip by a favorite cartoonist, then wake up slowly out of a beautiful dream where I'm in a naked snuggle-pile with four of my favorite guys on the planet to a fat, warm, friendly cat licking my hand and purr-meowing, and get up and have a delicious lunch and then have Best Buy somewhat redeem themselves by having exactly what we want, at the right price, and in the Jeep in under five minutes with no bullshit, then go to my favorite place in the world for white trash and see a cat show with the most adorable Maine Coon, Cornish and Devon Rex, and Sphinx cats, then get the perfect TV stand for the new TV at Target and get it home, put together without incident, and set the new TV on it and set it up with all the electronics and it turns on and works perfectly the first time and test out the surround sound with KOYAANISQATSI and 2001: A Space Odyssey which both look and sound so good and so loud the walls shake and it's a sublime experience that feels like ecstasy, religious revelry and then settle in to watch Law & Order with a cat in my lap, a large glass of cranberry juice, and some 88% cacao dark chocolate that leaves me in a trance-like state that feels like I want to say I love everybody, well, everyone cute at least,

plus, I took a really great dump today.

The little pleasures among the large. Comics, cats, craps, and Koyaanisqatsi...

A slice of Detroit

(The scene: Nello's in Royal Oak, around noon-time)

overly coiffed birmingham wife #1 (to manager): It's so great that you're non-smoking!
expensively dressed birmingham wife #2: Yes, I wouldn't have thought you'd be so thoughtful down here! (Ed: so close to Detroit!)

at a nearby table...
sultmhoor: OMG such a THRILLING, ADVENTUROUS day, going down Woodward toward the HEART OF DARKNESS! Into such DANGER!
detcarguy: Buffy, keep your cell phone dialed to 911!
sultmhoor: Babs, what posessed you to go south of 14? SOUTH OF 12??? WAS ANYTHING ON FIRE???
detcarguy: How did you manage to dodge the RAPE SQUADS??
sultmhoor: Did you take pictures?? Were there packs of wolves and lions??
detcarguy: Horrors! What do people eat down there? Roadkill and scrounged mushrooms??
*much giggling and birmingham buffies leaving in a huff*

Twitter can't be all that bad, can it?
