Daily Happiness
1. Had a nice walk down to Barnes & Noble last night to use the gift card I got for my birthday. Just over four miles round trip. We had dinner at Fat Burger and I got one of their delicious banana shakes.

Unfortunately, because BookMooch was down, I hadn't been able to make a list of books I wanted, so I just kind of wandered around looking at the shelves and wasn't really seeing anything. There are a lot of books I want, but I don't know that I want any of them enough to pay $15-25. But I have the gift card, so I have to use it... D: I ended up buying Ian McEwan's The Child in Time, which is one I've had on my wishlist for a while and never seen any copies of. That was $15, so I still have $10 left on the card. Will go back again once BookMooch is working and I can get an idea of what I might want to look for.

2. Here's some stuff I liked today:

The US Finishes "A Strong Second" in Iraq (the Onion)

Lego arcade games (check out other videos by the same person for more awesomeness)

Today's xkcd

I really want this!
