Summer party!

What made me happy today? Summer party at work!
There was a party at the office today after work. Summer themed! And I have to say, our social committee did a great job.
Smoothies, sangria, snacks, chips and dip, not to mention all the summer style decorations! It's kind of fun to kick of the weekend in that way, even if it's at the office.
Of course, you wouldn't say it's summer when you look outside. But don't let that dampen your spirits :-)
It's weekend and the summer has officially started!

Folding math-style!

What made me happy today? Learning how to fold a t-shirt.
With math! This video teaches you how to fold a shirt in less than 2 seconds.
No, it's not a typo. Less than 2 seconds. Granted, it takes some practice to get the hang of it but once you do it really works!
So thank you math and science! I'm never spending way too much time folding shirt again :-)

Django

What made me happy today? Django unchained.
I finally got around to see Django unchained. And man, what a movie! It's epic, and a must see!
Quentin Tarantino directed this one, and of course he even played a part in it. Spoiler: he dies a rather violent and bloody death. Same goes for Hollywood's go-to bad ass Samuel L. Jackson. The cast is an assembly of acting talent, and even though this is a rather long movie, it never gets boring.
Fair warning: the films contains a lot of violence and blood, so don't watch it if you're sensitive to that stuff. And be prepared, this movie is 2 hrs and 45 minutes long. So make sure you have plenty of snacks and drinks close by :-)

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!) :-)

A father's letter

What made me happy today? A father's heartwarming letter to his daughter.
Just read this and you'll see why. And please share it, I think every girl should read this.

Code Geass

what made me happy today? Code Geass.
I finally finished watching Code Geass! And man, this is a must-see. Two seasons, 50 episodes made out of pure epic.
But the reason I love Code Geass so much is not because it's epic. It's also not because of the awesome story-line, the great character development, the lies and betrayal games or the secret identities. No, it's because the main character isn't a likeable person. He's a pompous prick, has very high self-esteem and is just generally not a caring guy. It was very refreshing to see this kind of character as the main one for an anime.
This one definitely gets my seal of approval, so pick up the DVDs and have fun!

The meaning of life

What made me happy today? The meaning of life.
Or, to be precise, Siri's answer to the question 'What's the meaning of life?'.

I got bored last night and decided to mess around with Siri a bit. So I asked about the meaning of life. I half expected '42' as the answer. But you can see the answer I really got. After I managed to stop laughing and wiped the tears from my cheeks, I decided to ask 'Chocolate?'. Which Siri took as a request for directions to the nearest chocolate shop.
I love chocolate a lot, but is it really the meaning of life?
What do you think?
