Daily Happiness
There has been a lot of happy-making stuff in my Google Reader lately. Here are some of the highlights.

If you're not reading Fuck You, Penguin, why not? It's the blog that combines pictures of cute animals with snarky rants about them. If the babytalk cutesiness of sites like Cute Overload gets on your nerves, Fuck You, Penguin is the perfect antidote. I loved yesterday's post about the brushtailed possum:

Ummmm, Australia? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING COOKIES IN YOUR BACKYARDS? This is a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome, where Australians are the victims held captive by their kidnappers (mostly kangaroos desperate for another dime bag) and now they have fallen in love with the very animals that mean them harm.

Another must-read animal blog is Maru. I just love reading about his adventures in boxes and buckets and other small spaces. My current favorites are this video of him in a shoebox combined with this followup of him in an even smaller shoebox. 窮屈らぶ!

My First Dictionary is darkly hilarious. Each entry is a drawing from an old children's book accompanied by definitions such as "Burden: A burden is a source of worry and stress. Old people are usually burdens". I love the hush puppy one from last week.

Natalie Dee is a new addition to my feeds. I've known about the site for a long time and liked the comics when I saw them, but it doesn't have an RSS button anywhere that I can see, so I'd never remember to go back to it. But the other day when I was visiting, I had the bright idea to just plug the URL into Google Reader and see if it would come up with a feed. And it did! Huzzah! I love all the poor eggs worried that their chickens will come out.

Oh how I love Sinfest. The vast majority of the icons I've made in recent years have come from Sinfest. I'm really thinking of making an icon of the third panel here.

I still read I Can Has Cheeseburger and I Has a Hotdog, but I'm starting to tire of animals with funny captions. That Will Buff Out filled a need I didn't know I had, though, with its pictures of vehicles in crazy situations. Why, water, why!? ...I thought we were buds?

And I'll end with Wondermark, which is just delightfully bizarre.

This is not everything on my feed reader by a long shot, not even ever humor blog on my feed reader by a long shot. It's just stuff that particularly amused me recently and/or that I don't think I've recced here before.
