Joy in Brevity

Not too much to contribute right now due to a combination of writer's block (although, upon further consideration, isn't actually *being a writer* a prerequisite for getting writer's block?) and good ole fashioned tiredness. However, a few things that make me smile of late:

Reuniting with past friends
"Getting the job"
Having a genuinely entertaining conversation with a member of the opposite sex

...and of course, "I Wear My Sunglasses at Night"

guilty pleasures or not
