Good points from The Day of Hell

Since Monday was the day before-the-day of Inventory (yes, capitol), it was unofficial The Day of Hell at Wal-Mart. Not only was it busy the entire time, but I also spent too much "quality" time at the registers before working overtime and not even finishing before the boss kicked us out.

However, in an effort to think positively, here's a list of the good things that sprung up even as the universe attempted to screw me over.

* That scene from Strictly Ballroom where Fran and Scott are standing backstage at the state championship and she tells him she's not good enough and they start dancing to that great Doris Day song I love ("Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps")...and that shot! from behind the curtain! egads, that's great.

* Strictly Ballroom itself.

* Threatening people with [blue] silly string.

* "Magic Carpet Ride" playing on the radio both when I left the driveway after lunch and when I pulled back in after work.

* The lingering smell of bacon when I opened the door after getting off work tonight.

* The crisp smell of a freshly opened Orange Crush, drunk through a bendy straw.

* The end credits of "Dharma and Greg," which always feature that screen with the mini essay that I always attempt to read and never even finish the first line before it switches over to commercials or whatever.

* Five Questions. Especially Five Questions with a reference to Nutmeg.
