A Pleasant Miscellany 

Trying to figure out how to enjoy the small things in life. Here are just a few of the small things that I appreciate and make getting through this rough winter a bit easier.  

  • Tea - I've started to sample more tea: black, white, green. So many different flavors to enjoy. 
  • Fantasy Novels - For a while I stopped reading from this genre. This past autumn and over Christmas break I rediscovered how much I enjoy an adventurous tale about thieves, orcs, wizards and other cool fantasy characters trying to battle one another and take over the world.
  • Internet - How fucking awesome is this thing. I mean think about how sweet it is. All this information at your fingertips. And of course the free music, film, television, & various other media. Blogs, I mean come on...blogs like this just fucking rock the boat. Where would we be without the internet. It's hard to imagine, and kind of weird too, so much apart of our lives. 
  • My Brown Leather Belt - I bought this a few years ago at the Gap and it has this nice weathered and broken leather look to it. I wear it all the time, you should check it out the next time you see me, it's a pretty sweet belt. Yep, I like it. 
  • Comics & Graphic Novels - Let's face it, V for Vendetta, The Watchmen, Sandman, The Dark Knight, I could go on and on. Comics rock and so do large graphic novels and anthologies that go on for hundreds of pages. Something very satisfying and fulfilling about consuming a large graphic novel.
