What made me happy today? Stories that stay with you.
Yesterday, it was Christmas. As we were having dinner at my parent's, my boyfriend and I were looking at some old pictures of my, my sister and my family. Thankfully, there weren't too many embarrassing pictures in there :-)
But leave it to my mother to bring up some stories from my childhood. Like the time Sinterklaas came to visit at my dad's office. We were there as well, as it was an event for the families of all employees. Sinterklaas asked my sister and me if my parents had been good all year. I shyly nodded, but my sister proceeded to tell him that our mom had, but that she wasn't so sure about my dad. This, of course, intrigued everyone. Sinterklaas asked my sister why my dad hadn't been nice, and my sister replied 'well, he snores so loudly our mommy can't sleep'! Que laughter from everyone!
Of course, there were also some stories about little me, being little miss smarty pants. I learned to talk quite young. So my after seeing a picture of me with my granddad, of whom I have no memories as he died when I wasn't even three years old, my mom told us this story.
My granddad loved to tease me. The summer before I turned two, my mom, dad and I went on vacation to the coast. (my sister hadn't been born yet) I was telling my granddad about the vacation we had planned, and how excited I was about sleeping over at the coast. But he said that that wasn't possible. So I asked him why. Well, he proceeded, your beds won't fit in the car. After which I apparently gave him a 'don't be silly' look, put my hands on my hips and said in my best admonishing tone 'But granddad, mommy and daddy have made reservations in a hotel!'. I honestly don't remember any of it, but my mom and dad swear that everyone almost fell out of their chairs from laughing too hard.
Those are the stories that will stay with you :-)

K-On! The movie!
What made me happy today? K-On! The movie!
A while ago, I talked about how K-On! is one of my favorite anime series. I'm sick at the moment, and needed some serious cheering up. After taking a nap, I felt slightly better and decided to curl up on the couch with my laptop.
It's days like these where I love to watch fluffy, feel-good, happy stuff. K-On! falls right in that category. In the movie, the girls take a trip to London. Hilarity, shenanigans and some mix ups ensue :-)
If you haven't seen the series, make sure to watch it first. Otherwise, the movie may not make much sense ;-)

Wave!
What made me happy today? Wave!
Today, my BF and I took a walk into town. To get there, we took the scenic route. This route takes us along a railroad track. So we started waving at the trains passing by.
Suddenly a cyclist passed us, waving at us :-)
And I'm about to go to another soccer match with the Red Cross! I hope it'll be a bit more peaceful than the match on Sunday. (see Sunday's blog: what a match!)
Happy Saturday!

Comeback!
What made me happy today? Comeback!
I stumbled across this article today. It shows some really funny comebacks and made me laugh so hard :-)
I also had a great day! My goddaughter came over to pick up her Sinterklaas presents, which was loads of fun. I also did some shopping and ran into a friend while doing so.
How was your Saturday?

Webcomic Wednesday 4
What made me happy today? Webcomic Wednesday 4!
This time, it's lunarbaboon. Lunarbaboon is a cute comic, usually about the struggles of raising a child, married life and everything involved. The description says 'A half man/half moon monkey trying to make sense of it all.'
Lunarbaboon is the type of comic that will make you react differently to each new one. Some are touching, others make you laugh, others provide you with new insights or make you go 'huh'. There doesn't seem to be a fixed updating schedule for this one, but Facebook and Twitter will alert you to a new comic.
It's also one of those comics I love to check out when I'm feeling sad or down. It never fails to make me happy!

300 + 9!
What made me happy today? 300 + 9!
No, not the movie. This is my 300th blog post! Wow, I can't believe how fast this is all going.
Also, I had quite a laugh today. I went to the Metalzone, and saw a CD that I wanted to buy. Sadly, it was sitting on a top shelf and I was too short to reach it. So I had to ask Wim, the owner of the store if he could please get the CD for me. Which, nice as he is, he did. So I jokingly suggested that he should add a little step to his store, after which he points to the one in the corner. Whoops. I didn't see that one. Oh well, better luck next time?
And now for the '9' part. There's a game going on FB. People are posting a certain number of facts about themselves. If you like this you will be given a number and then you can reveal that many facts about yourself. I got the number 9. So here goes:
1) I have a huge list of completely useless talents. For example: I can read a text that is upside down almost as fast as a text that isn't. Or I can slice a bread perfectly with just a knife.
2) I love books. Nothing will ever beat the smell of a new or old book. Yet I do possess a e-book reader, as I never could store the +1000 books I have on there in my apartment.
3) I cry really easily when watching a movie or reading a book. In real life, I've learned to contain my tears a bit more :-)
4) I am a huge Star Wars fan, but I also like Star Trek. And Star Gate. And Battlestar Galactica. And the list goes on. Yes, I am obsessed with space. I was a member of a youth astronomer's society for 7 years.
5) My hair has never been the same color for longer than 6 months since I was 15.
6) I have a brain-twin. Which is beyond cool! We tend to drive other people a little bit crazy, especially when we randomly start singing 'just keep swimming' at the same time. My brain-twin's BF exclaimed (in a slightly exasperated way) "There's two of you!" the first time I met him. Nuff said.
7) English is not my first language. It's also not my second language. It's my third. I learned French before English. Dutch is my mother tongue. I also speak German. I know a decent amount of Spanish, Italian and Swedish; and I'm trying to learn conversational Japanese.
8) I can curse in a lot more languages than the ones listed above. I'm usually a very mild-mannered person, but I can spew profanities at a rate that would make a sailor blush.
9) I make up stories about the people I see sitting around me when I'm eating somewhere or waiting for something. I do write short-stories but I never dare to put them out there, because I don't think they're any good. The same goes for my drawings.

K-On!
What made me happy today? K-On!
K-On! is an anime about 4 high-school girls who join their schools's light music club to save it from being disbanded. K-On is derived from keiongaku (軽音楽), which means light music in Japanese.
Yui, one of the four girls, can't even play an instrument or read sheet music. She joined the club because she liked playing castanets and eventually learns to play the guitar. The bassist is Mio, who's very shy and has stage-fright. The drummer is the energetic, scatter-brained Ritsu. Last but not least we have keyboardist Tsumugi (aka Mugi) who's sweet and kind, but who can also be very strict.
The show basically revolves around these four girls, Yui's sister Ui, club adviser and teacher Sawako. Later on in the first season the girls are joined by a 5th band-member, guitarist Azusa (Azu-nyan).
It's a fun, light-hearted show. The girls play songs like 'my love is a stapler', 'light and fluffy time' and 'calligraphy pen: ballpoint pen'. But if you think that these are airy poppy songs, you're wrong. They play rather rock-like music, and metal is featured rather prominently in several episodes. As it turns out (warning: spoiler!), the club adviser, Sawako, used to be a member of the light music club when she was going to high-school. She also used to be the lead guitar and singer of a speed metal band called 'Death Devil'.
K-On! is the type of show I like to watch on a dark, rainy day like today. Preferably in the company of a cupcake :-)
Or two ;-)

Kids say the darndest things
What made me happy today? Kids say the darndest things.
During lunch today, the conversation was about kids and the funny things they say. I just wanted to share a few of the gems I overheard with you all. It made me laugh so hard!
Kid: 'Mom, where was I before I was born?'
Mom: 'Well, you were an egg.'
Kid: 'Was I a fried egg?'
Mom: '*speechless*'
Kid: 'What was a doing as an egg?'
Mom: 'Well, you were waiting for a little seed.'
Kid: 'To eat?'
Kid: 'Mom, if I was an egg and my sister was too, how come I never saw her there?'
Kid: 'When are you a grown up?'
Mom: 'When you are married.'
Kid: 'So does that mean that auntie isn't grown up yet?'
Mom: 'Eh, no.'
Kid: 'But you said you're grown up when you're married. Auntie isn't married.'
Auntie: 'I'm not married, but I get to babysit you, so I'm a grown up too! You don't have to be married to be a grown up.'
Mom: 'Eh, yeah, that's true.'
Kids can say the funniest things, what's the best thing you've ever heard a kid say / said as a kid?

What if?
What made me happy today? What if?
It's Tuesday, and that means there's a new 'what if? xkcd'! I've mentioned xkcd before, it's one of my favorite webcomics.
In 'what if?' xkcd answers a reader's science-related question. Spoiler alert: they often end in catastrophy.
Looking for some extra laughs while reading this webcomic? Hover your mouse over the images, you'll get a little bit of extra text.
Enjoy reading!

It's over 9000!
What made me happy today? It's over 9000!
What is over 9000? No, it has nothing to do with DragonBall Z. It has everything to do with my car! I just noticed that I already drove over 9000 km since I got this car. Which kind of baffled me. Until I started thinking about how much time I actually spend in my car.
On an average day, I'm in my car a little under 2 hours. But on some days it can be as much as 7 hours. No wonder I've driven so much in about 7 months.
And it makes me happy to know I've driving this much, without any accidents!
Now I just hope I didn't jinx it...

Insomnia
What made me happy today? Insomnia!
That will need some explaining. I'm not happy about having bouts of insomnia. But I am happy that I finally seem to have found something that works for me. And the best part is that I can totally relate to this post! Major frustrations, I'll say!
I know people who zonk out the minute their head hits the pillow. There is no way to describe how envious I am of that! The only time I ever zonked out minutes after putting my head down, was when I had to get general anesthesia to have all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. But I've found a few things that will help me fall asleep faster on most occasions. Like my sleepphones, breathing exercises, relaxation exercises and the right temperature in the bedroom.
What helped me most was throwing out my alarm clock! I would find myself obsessively staring at it, calculating how long I had left before I had to get back up. Which of course led to me obsessing over how little sleep I'd be getting, and how tired I'd be the next day. So I put my alarm clock away. Now, I put my smartphone on my nightstand, so I still have an alarm to wake me up. But I can't constantly see wat time it is. And oddly enough, that helped!
Sleep tight tonight!

Heart-warming lolz
What made me happy today? Heart-warming lolz!
I came across a few thing that I really wanted to share with you all today!
First up is this list with heart-warming stories from the worst places on Earth. If you need some faith in humanity restored, or just love to read this kind of stuff, make sure you read it all the way through. But you might want to keep a tissue at hand.
Second, I have a great science win for you!
Third on this list is a cross-over between some of my favorite movies!
At fourth place, we have a video about some strange stuff in a coffee house. If you are drinking coffee (or anything else), you may want to put it down for a bit.
And last, but most certainly not least is this: the 2013 Nobel prize for physics goes to Francois Englert and Peter W. Higgs for their research into the Higgs boson particle. Francois Englebert is a Belgian scientist! He and Peter Higgs really deserved to win this. But the fact that he's from the same country as me, makes it just that little bit more special :-)
Have a great evening!

Must-see make-up tutorial
What made me happy today? Finding a must-see make-up tutorial!
This tutorial is a real must-see. It teaches you the perfect look to go out and defeat the patriarchy with! Who says feminists can't look cute? ;-)
For those of you who didn't figure it out yet, this video is meant as a tongue-in-cheek parody, attempting to poke some holes in the stereotypes society seems to have regarding feminists.
Enjoy :-)

Random much?
What made me happy today? The enormous load of random things today!
What a day. It seemed to be filled with random, funny stuff. When I came into the office this morning, I saw one coworker ducking behind her desk. She told me she thought I was someone else. Which made me wonder who she was ducking from.
Then I had a funny little talk at the coffee machine with my old manager. After that, my PC decided that it was time for some random crashes, so I had to call the IT help-desk. For once, I talked to someone who actually knew what they were doing.
But this one takes the cake: when I went to the reception area of the office, I saw a guy walk in with a suitcase and a pair of ski boots in his hand. I'm still not sure why he had them. It's not snowing, and there are no indoor skiing places nearby...
I like random stuff like that, it makes me smile! I hope you had a great day too!

The things I've seen
What made me happy today? The things I've seen...
Today, I was working on site. That means I was working in one of the hospitals participating in a study. I was sitting in an office where several of the doctors have a desk, along with the study nurse. Now, when I'm on site, I'm usually pretty focused on my work. Those of you who know me know what that means. For those of you who don't know me: it means I'm basically gone from the world, and you need to make an effort to get my attention.
So when I suddenly heard a lot of rustling noises behind me, I turned around to see what was going on, only to find one of the doctors in nothing but his boxer-short and socks behind me. He was urgently needed in the OR and decided to change into his scrubs right there.
The things you see in a hospital... Believe me, I worked in one as a nurse for 4.5 years.

American Dad!
What made me happy today? American Dad!
It's been a long day at work. And it's way too hot to do anything outside. So imagine my delight when I noticed that there was an entire season of American Dad I hadn't seen yet :-)
If you don't know American Dad, you should give it a shot! It's about Stan Smith, who works for the CIA and his family. That family consists of his wife Francine, daughter Hayley and son Steve. You also have Klaus, a man in the body of a goldfish that's the family's pet. And there's Roger, the alien who lives in the attic and who's fond of disguises. Together, they get into all sorts of situations.
Enjoy :-)

Futurama
What made me happy today? Futurama!
I finally got around to watching the new part of season 7 today. And I have to say that for a show that has been around since 1999, it's still funny! Besides, what's not to love? It's a cartoon sci-fi sitcom comedy thing, set in the future.
For those of you who are totally unaware of what Futurama is about, let me give you a brief introduction. Fry, a pizza delivery guy, trips and falls into a cryogenic pod on New-year's eve 1999. 1000 years later, he wakes up. Being from the past, he is a bit of an outsider. But he soon meets up with a distant relative and starts working as a delivery boy. Hilarity ensues!
So if you haven't seen it yet, go grab a copy at your local dvd-rental place and enjoy it while it lasts! Because, sadly, Comedy Central has decided to cancel Futurama at the end of this season. Granted, they've been canceled before (thanks to Fox) and came back, so there's hope!

You win some, you lose some...
What made me happy today? You win some, you lose some...
Today was a rather uneventful day. But what made me happy was this post I came across on my Facebook feed. Enjoy, and have a great Friday evening!

Redline
What made me happy today? Redline!
Today, I finally got around to watching Redline completely. I had seen the first 15 or 20 minutes before, but never got around to watching the full movie.
Just to clarify: I'm talking about the 2009 anime. There seems to be another movie called Redline, made in 2007, starring Eddie Griffin.
Redline is a science fiction auto racing anime film. The plot is kept to a minimum but the graphics are absolutely stunning. There's a lot of color and eye for detail. And even though the plot is minimal, for some reason this movie still manages to drag you along and get you exited. So this movie is great to watch after a long day at work, where you don't want to watch complicated stuff.
So grab a drink, a slice of pizza, put your feet up and enjoy the wild ride that Redline is!

Radio funny
What made me happy today? Funny things on the radio!
I usually listen to music when driving. Especially when stuck in traffic. Today I was listening to 'Studio Brussel' while driving home from work.
They were talking about the new Superman movie, 'Man of steel'. Three guesses which song they played after the talking part was over?
If you're guessing 'Kryptonite' by Three Doors Down, you're completely right! This also happens to be one of my favorite songs ever, so it made me laugh (funny) and happy (favorite song!) :-)
