eleanorjaneI always enjoy reading torachan's Daily Happiness posts, and st_aurafina has started doing them too. Who am I to buck a trend, especially one that's about happiness? :) So, with all credit to torachan for the idea, and hopefully it'll get me in the habit of posting daily...
1. Movies! I've been looking forward to White House Down for a while - I like the Die-Hard-esque building logistics scenarios, and I expected to enjoy Olympus Has Fallen, which was the same sort of premise but with extra Gerard Butler Srsface. I found Olympus Has Fallen to be a bit too brutal in its violence, though (apparently I'm getting squeamish in my old age) and from the trailers White House Down appears to be pitched a little lighter in tone, so it should be a fun popcorn movie. It starts in a week but there's a preview screening today, so we're going for Mexican for lunch and then movies.
2. Chris and I launched a fansite for our favourite video game obsession, Firefall, back in March this year. It really took off, and we're now one of the biggest and most popular fansites for the game. Apparently our stuff is so good that some of the guys from the publishing studio use it as their own reference material, and we get a lot of very vocal appreciation both from the community and from the studio. (Sadly, they're in California and all their content-writing positions have to be on-site. I already checked. ;)) I don't have to explain how good for me that is, I'm sure. :)
3. Chris. He's adorable and I am honestly grateful every day that he found me. :)
