#Happinessis learning that the 85-year-old book you borrow from the library:
- was penned by a personage your favourite public librarian portrayed in a high school history-and-language arts project;
- is available on archive.org
- has a cocktail named for it, so you can sip your cocktail while you finish what you couldn't when you returned the library book.

Wondering why facial fur is en vogue yet 'artisanal reusable moustache mugs/cups' aren't.

When I win lotto, one thing I'd like to do is donate very small amounts to GoFundMes while claiming to be yesteryear entertainers, like $1 from Henry Silva, Johnny Mathis, Susan Dey, Delta Burke, Rene Simard, Mitsou, Julian Cope, or Arsenio Hall.

Received a rollerball & fountain pen duet set of Europen Esprit pens:

@sean The US versions of shows seem to be 'this is too subtle or too edgy for Peoria, Illinois. Let's remove that edge with the 'cement goose wardrobe' Americanization of humour.

@sean I couldn't tell from the toot. I bet the casts, scenarios and writers differ, right?

@sean Did the US version of "The Office" get a different title to distinguish it from the UK sitcom you watched?

Slept after listening to Julia Darling's five postie stories on #BBCRadio, dreamt I visited my copine Jane in #Rugby where folks wore jumpers and coats. "Your July is like my April," I said. Then a fast dissolve to Toronto, where it was even colder, and I spotted and "stalked" Richard Ayoade trying to ask him if he knew Don McKellar. Ayoade was studying film for his Ph.D. I at last seized him, tickled him, he fell into my arms and told me he is a family man.

I spoke Japanese to a woman at a #geocaching event (she was of Japanese origin, I wasn't trying to be obnoxious) today. She spoke Japanese back at me and bowed. Then a European-origin woman said to her about my #Nihongo conversation "You didn't expect this, did you?"

"Wake Up With Alki" -- #SCTV's spoof of "The Continental" before Christopher Walken and SNL

@Famicoman I found issue #12 (Jane Siberry cover) in my house, along with _Mondo 2000's Guide to the New Edge_

@tomasino That's great! I still don't have a phone for my country, but I have international calling cards. How's the weather over there?

'M' is the most destructive letter of the English alphabet, for it is the difference between 'CREATION' and 'CREMATION'.

@edebill I did not know of this beautiful thing before I read your toot. Thank you! I have numerous purples, and some browns golds and oranges, and blues... Congratulations, it is 21h09 PDT and you have written the first thing that made me smile today.

@edebill If you buy a true green or a forest green ink sample, or if you have some samples already to trade, let me know. I'll upload to my site a list of what I have.

Greetings fellow olds! Two minutes ago I learned of this 1966 recording by Norma Tanega ""You're Dead"
enjoy!

@edebill I cleaned out six pens, washed out another two this wee. I have thirty-three ink samples and Goulet Pens is holding its Inkapalooza special for its second week.

I am unhappy with this "scan your government ID before we let you book" policy of Airbnb. I had offered cash and an in-person meeting to show my ID to secure a booking. Bah bah. I feel so defeated I'm keen to profit either on fighting surveillance and improper handling of data or making others submit to it.
