What made you smile today?

Fingers crossed for you! I just got that exact turntable for my birthday and it works like an absolute dream!

Yeah, I can't wait until I finally don't have to play my records on this Chinese all-in-one piece of junk

My kids are playing ponies. They named one of the fancy pants babies “Mister Poopy Pants” and one of the ponies is eating the others. My younger daughter told him to “eat Poopy Pants” and the older one said, “I may only be 14, but I know better than to eat my sisters.” Oh I was mistaken, it’s “Doctor Poopy Pants” and Daddy Sweet Celebrations is simply “Grandma”  I wish I could video their whole game, it’s so funny.

One of those dreams where life grows a bit more plausibly complex (in some still ludicrous way) than it already was... which brings so many fretful and in daylight funny complications per course for you and well everyone else protagonist or antagonist. After a groggy confusion recollecting my own set of obstacles made things feel nicely much smaller & my formerly scary mental list of problems shorter. If those gremlins only knew I bet they'd also be glad we didn't put me up to that much. 
But it was a relief simply to be me again in spite it all.

Got told we can come in later to college tomorrow since we don't have proper lessons this week which is great as I have trouble sleeping and getting up extremely early to catch the bus and train isn't fun, a little bonus is that we finish early too which means it's still bright when I get home and the trains aren't as busy

News article...talking about how one of our more questionably factual tabloids is now coming up with a warning that their news may not be accurate...

Amused they are disputing it. Wait! Someone's saying bad things about them? It's called karma...

Also, on a less political note (although it happened a few days back now), I overheard one of my students tell another that my class was one of their favourite lessons

The fake fishburger I had yesterday. I had one before, I discovered them last year, but I am so excited that they make that now. For seven years couldn't eat any fish because I developed a severe allergy for shellfish, and fish was my favourite. Now I can taste it again, and it's very realistic, too!

One of my co-workers told me my eyes were pretty and that they reminded her of Mila Kunis' eyes.

Friend's kid inviting us all to a puppet show made from his bunk bed. Whole household on floor cushions watching this elephant and dragon argue by flashlight about what is best for baby doll. His parents are probably really regretting not having filmed it all.

It's not my birthday today, but as both me and hubby work next weekend we decided to celebrate today. I woke up to a pile of packages! I knew he was thinking of giving me an e-reader, which he did! But I also got two books, two sets of Pro-Marker pens and a lotr-t-shirt! I am blown away and don't know what I'm gonna do first. Paint? Read? Try a new outfit with the shirt or play with the e-reader?
Not to mention he went to a huge sale yesterday, a videostore had gone bankrup and was gonna close, and he bought a lot of sweets, chips, and the MLP-movie for me! New, blue ray in plastic! (I also got the despicable me 2-3 and minions!) I am so spoiled.

I downloaded GameMaker and made a simple test game. It's the most basic thing ever, but still! I wrote actual code. I made an actual playable thing. Life is beautiful ;o;

It's also snowing like crazy outside. Today is a good day.

Football team actually managed to win for once

I have cake.

And I just saw the London Toy Fair Pics.

Saw a big, majestic, grey heron today! It snowed quite a bit (by England's standards) so all the trees by the canal had a good couple of inches of snow on the branches, it made for a very nice backdrop as it flew past!
