What’s Making Me Happy {7}

Well, this week has had a lotta bit of good and a pretty good chunk of bad too. The good is career-related (I know I’ve been vaguely saying that in the last couple posts. Soon I will tell you. SOON.), the bad tax related.

*shakes fist at taxes*

Taxes really are The Worst. THE WORST.

But that’s all really boring and I am positive that none of you want to hear about it.

So instead I’ll tell you about the couple things making me happy this week.

1. New CMS

Tihs is so insanely nerdy, but on Monday I received the new edition of Chicago Manual of Style. And it’s soooo pretty. The teal and coral color scheme is oh-so au courant, and CMS still believe in the Oxford comma.

It’s the little things, ya know?

2. Joss Whedon has read Jane Austen

3. Jane by Design

The other night I was super bored after catching up on Fairly Legal (which also makes me very happy), so I decided to go through my OnDemand options. And for some reason, I decided to watch Jane by Design. Which is so completely adorable. And totally unrealistic. But so stinkin’ cute. If you’re open to very unrealistic TV shows about high school girls balancing two lives and working in the fashion industry and being pursued by her high school crush AND a (much older) straight fashion designer, then I recommend it. It’s actually not dumb. Well, I mean it is, but the writing isn’t terrible and the acting doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out. It’s good escapist fun. Hooray!

4. Slow Motion Ballet + Radiohead

‘Nuff said.

And those are the things making me happy! If you’d like to share what’s making you happy, please feel free to do so in comments.

Yay Sunday!
