HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME UNREASONABLY HAPPY LATELY.

- Gail Simone Returns to Birds Of Prey :DDDDD MY GIRLS ARE BAAACK FUCK YES. MY GLEE CANNOT BE TEXTUALLY RENDERED.

- Justice League International Returns, and also Giffen & De Matteis are writing Booster Gold. Apparently 2010 is the Year of DC Proving They Really Do Love Me? Seriously, next we'll hear they've got PAD back and are rebooting Young Justice

- Last night I got to watch NEW Kids In The Hall. Inept cops, dudes playing ladies, hosers, inappropriate jokes that I would find offensive if anybody else did them... Business as usual! God bless the CBC.

- THIS PICTURE. AHHHHH YOU GUYS SHE HAS A RING.

- Rereading Frankenstein for Humanities. SECRET: I kind of love this book a lot! I know, you are all shocked.

- Scott Westerfield's Leviathan. Steampunk WWI! Obnoxious Hapsburg boy (& his mecha) meets plucky Scottish girl-disguised-as-boy (& her flying whale)! NORA FUCKING BARLOW! Seriously, how is this book so awesome? (I am only 3/4 of the way through, no major spoilers please!)

- OPI has made a line of Tim Burton's Alice inspired nail polish! I mean, I probably can't buy any, OPI is crazy expensive and I just got two new colours for Christmas, but the fact that it even exists is pretty awesome.

1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for eight days without fail.

THE INTERNET has made me happy today. Here are some portions of the internet of which I am particularly fond at the moment:

* Following Gail Simone on twitter is an extremely surreal experience. A gem from today: "I would like American Idol better if each contestant had to play human Tetris on the face of the sun. But it would be a very different show."

* Science has found a Tiny T-Rex! The article is all about how this changes everything about how we thought they evolved, which is all very well, but does not talk about the possibility of cloning one from DNA trapped in amber and keeping a miniature T-Rex as a pet.

* Kitten War: May The Cutest Kitten Win! This is basically instant happiness for cat-less cat people. SO MANY KITTENS. Eugh, I miss my kitty, even though he was never really mine and he hasn't lived here in a year. WHY DOES MY MOTHER HATE CATS, eugh my life is just so complex.

* The Serenada Schizophrana website plays the entire thing! I had never heard it before and it is a gorgeous piece of music. (I just want Danny Elfman to score my life, okay. Well, and Colleen Atwood to design my wardrobe? Okay, so maybe I want to be a character in a Tim Burton movie, shut up.)
