Biking home after my daily routine and realizing that I'm on my home street.

Going out to get the mail in the rain.

Biting my nails.

Watching men watching woman/girls, extra priceless when they're accompanied by their woman/girlfriends.

 

Watching the body language, faces of men waiting outside clothing stores while their wives shop.

so you went shopping with your woman and watched men looking at women. hmm.

 

Having a huge list and crossing things off as you go

zomg me too! do you put things on lists that you've actually already done just to get the satisfaction of ticking them off?!

 

nah, i don't really, i'm very disorganised. but people seem to mention this list making thing a lot..

Getting naked in public and dancing Michael Jackson with a ghetto blaster playing it on the left shoulder and a finger from the right hand in the ass.

Details in Calvin & Hobbes.

 

Also, Calvin & Hobbes as a whole, but this will seem obvious to some of you

 

Calvin & Hobbes is the greatest thing created for enjoying as a kid - and enjoying even more as an adult.

so many to respond to but here are mine for now:

 

translator applications online

 

saving progress on video games

 

digital satellite imagery - planes used to fly almost into space and risk getting shot down to get photos, now we can just hop on google maps

 

vending machines

 

the feeling you get when you're in a new place: hotel in a foreign city, empty house/apartment you just moved into, strange airport bar where everyone is somewhere that isn't familiar...makes for strange, melancholy memories

 

hearing a song or watching a movie/tv show you never loved and/or forgot about, then having a crazy flashback. I don't know if future generations will have this as often...they don't have to sit through mediocre television before a favorite show or listen to entire albums before hearing something they like

 

making eye contact with a wild animal

 

people who work night shifts...I remember reading an illustrated book as a kid about that and it stuck with me

 

tropical fruit in the grocery store

 

that fall is coming

 

that I and other adults still watch cartoons

 

RAIN - my town had some for the first time in 2 months, people applauded in restaurants when it happened, we haven't had substantive rainfall since October last year. I went to the mountains of New Mexico couple weeks ago and saw it daily, it was beyond lovely

When you find out that your friend's ex-girlfriend once had a job as someone who called "quiet on the set" and other such things while working on movies in Hollywood, and one time after she did this Steven Spielburg came storming out of a neighboring building screaming "SHUT UP, YOU'RE RUINING MY FILM!!"

 

 

 

(She replied that it wasn't her problem, she wasn't working for him. He was directing AI at the time.)

Eating small pieces of camembert while cooking (because I always wait for being hungry before cooking). The taste of that cheese stay in your mouth while you wait for your meal and it's just lovely.

Catching small pieces of conversation between people in the street ant trying to imagine the context of the excerpt.

being so absorbed in a videogame/movie so that i have a momentary cessation of thinking about my own shit

 

accomplishing things, especially if the outcome is good

 

endorphins from doing cardio/running, the headrush and afterwards quenching thirst with cold water

Accidentially calling a game a movie when talking about it.

 

endorphins from doing cardio/running

Being a fat man, I get quite the rush ftom simply power walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes. I remember doing that in gym class, rarely had the chance unfortunately, and feeling very great afterwards. It woul make me alert for the whole school day.

I need a fucking treadmill.

treadmills are alright, i much rather run trails though. my recent workout involves backpacking with weights, you feel light as a feather afterwards

cold pillows for sure.

 

doing more homework than i need to

 

staying silent when i am reactively about to say something snotty. this is possibly the greatest small pleasure i ever achieve.

 

breaking appointments (i know, it's an asshole move, but it really pleases me to get out of engagements - it's as if i've gained an entirely new block of time to work on my own projects and goals, and most of my friends are aware of my habit)

 

trying new hot cereals

 

buying a bunch of fruits and veggies and carrying them home a very long distance

 

and yes, the rain. <3
