I'm sipping a deliciously rich hot Cocoa made by the Mexican lady down the street (hints of cinnamon) and it's cold out there and kinda blustery.
What recent simple (G-rated!) simple pleasures have you had lately?

Except for the most delicious seafood-pasta dinner I ate in Thailand so far, I happened to experience life in being good to me... I may have the chance to get a custom made firesword by early next year... and received compliments from strangers

This past Saturday was full of simple pleasures! I spent the unseasonably warm afternoon in the park playing with poi & hoops & balls with some friends. I learned two new cj moves.
Checking out all the hot guys in the park throwing frisbees and footballs with their shirts off.
(It would have been fun to scam on all the hotties with you, Doc )Later that night, my Burning Man crew got together on our artcar and we drove around the City, parking in various random places and did karaoke and danced in the streets.
The activities themselves were fun, but the best (and simplest) part was spending time with people I love.
taken out of context i must seem so strange

Oh good, I thought Doc was going to start posting about the joys of a good bowel movement again.
Um... for me... My neighborhood. In general.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I had a man threatening legal action (with talk of Watch Dog and legal minded friends) because he said his central heating brakedown insurence cover dosent state that two or more radiators constitutes a brakedown...(he only had one radiator that failed to work in his property)

There's an upside to global warming. Late October, and I can still wander about in a t-shirt - in Scotland! Who'd have thought it?

I really need to try employing physical violence towards NYC and see if that's pleasurable or not.

Reading posts from other HoPpers about how much they love chocolate spread from the jar, and the Avatar cartoons, plus all the other stuff that I like doing but that people I work with think is strange.
My simple pleasure for last week was going out at lunch time with two people I hardly know from work and getting quite drunk and merry for the first time in ages, then failing to return to work. It was naughty, but now I've got to know two people I work with, we didn't get busted by anyone and it was good fun.
