What made me happy today? This is Halloween!
Happy Halloween or God Samhain, depending on what you celebrate! I'll be spending the evening watching 'the nightmare before Christmas', a bunch of Vincent Price movies and some other scary ones on my couch with my BF.
Stay safe everyone, have a great day, and enjoy your long weekend if you're having one!

Rainicorn!
What made me happy today? Rainicorn!
Michelle Phan's new video is out, she's doing a lady rainicorn look this time. I think it looks really great, maybe I'll try it one day. Sounds like it's adventure time! ;-)
It's a very happy, innocent look, do you think I could pull it off?

Underrated things
What made me happy today? Underrated things!
I stumbled across this Buzzfeed post today, it's about 29 underrated things about being in your late twenties. So relatable!
I confess, I'm scared of that approaching '3' but things like this make me feel a lot better about it :-)

Storms that pass in the night
What made me happy today? Storms that pass in the night.
It's been storming here since yesterday evening. I love storms! The way the clouds are so many different shades of grey, whipping past at high speeds, the colourfull leaves flying by and how the trees bend in the wind.
Of course, storms can do a lot of damage. So far, we've been pretty lucky here, apart from a few trees and some traffic signs, not much else was damaged.
Except for my circadian rhythm. The clock was turned back an hour yesterday, and that's messing with my internal clock. Add the noisy storm to that, and I decided to put in earplugs, in order to be able to sleep. And sleep I did. I even slept through my alarm because it only went off once. Good thing I always wake up early, and that I work flex-time :-)
So storms are pretty, and my internal clock woke me up pretty much on time! Plus, I had a super-productive day at work. I guess I escaped this week's case of the Mondays ;-)

Gedo Senki
What made me happy today? Gedo Senki!
This morning, I watched Gedo Senki (it's Japanese, literally it means Ged's war chronicles), also known as Tales from Earthsea. It's a 2006 fantasy anime, produced by studio Ghibli. So far I've not disliked anything I've seen from studio Ghibli.
And Gedo Senki is no exception. It's another visually stunning piece of work, along with a gripping story line and some great character development. However, Gedo Senki does not have the fluffiness of some of the other studio Ghibli movies (like Kiki's flying delivery service, or Laputa: castle in the sky). This movie gave me goosebumps on more than one occasion, and even had me gripping my BFs hand at one point. Plus, this movie has dragons! Yay, dragons!
The movie is based on the Earthsea series, by Ursula K. Le Guin. I've yet to read these books, but the movie is just based on them and I've been reliably informed there are some major differences between the two.
As for the plot, I'm not going to give much away. There's dragons, wizards, murder and a plot to destroy the 'Balance'. So pick up a copy of this movie, along with some popcorn and enjoy!

Hergé
What made me happy today? Hergé!
Hergé is the creator of the Tintin comics. And as it turns out, there's a museum dedicated to him in Louvain-la-Neuve. So the BF and I decided to go and check it out today.
It's a great museum, if you like Tintin you really have to go there! The entry fee includes the audio guide. And the set-up of the museum is very logical. It takes you through Hergé's life. We spent about 4 hours there.
After that, we grabbed a burger at a place called Zanzibar. Very nice food, amd great service. We also stopped by the local manga / bookshop, called Slumberland.
After that, we took a walk through the city, as the weather is so lovely! So We had a great day so far. I hope your Saturday is as great as mine!

Fast-food Friday
What made me happy today? Fast-food Friday!
We've started a new tradition at work. In my new team, we'll be having fast-food for lunch, one Friday per month :-)
Today, we ordered Chinese. It was really yummie. Plus, it's fun to have lunch with my coworkers. We tried to limit the work talk, I think we managed pretty well !
I'm looking forward to repeating this!
Have a great Friday!
