Daily Happy: Disgruntled Mr. Fluff

This reminds me of Blind Melon's video for No Rain mixed with Fancy Feast cat food commercials.

 In theory, I wouldn't be sold on that being a good combo. In life, it definitely qualifies as today's daily happy.

Daily Happy: Audrey You are a Fairy Tale

Audrey Hepburn feeds her pet fawn and puppy. She really was magical.

Daily Happy: Caterpillar

Can't. Stop. Staring. 

You know the best part about this? That vacant stare of his.

Daily Happy: Hot Chick in A Tub

Okay...so they really haven't been daily - but here is today's dose of joy.

baby chick, taking a bath.omg yes.

Daily Happy: How'd You Get Hurt?

Now, really we just need to make a 'hooping' addition to this and it would be complete. 

Daily Happy: Thug Life

Represent Carlton. Represent.

Daily Happy: Snakes, Squiggles, Spirals of the Pendulum Dance

The mesmerzing pendulum dance in motion

From NPR's Krulwich Wonders

What we have here is better, more cunning and a damn sight more beautiful than magic. It's a pendulum dance. A team at Harvard built this device. It's got 15 free-swinging pendulums, each a different length.

The longest one does 51 swings a minute. Its neighbor, a little shorter, does 52 swings...the next, 53, then 54 and so on...

The little guy down at the end does 65 swings a minute...

Once they're set swinging, the balls form a line, then quickly fall out of sync and, as you watch, patterns emerge out of nowhere, snakes, squiggles, spirals. At the exact midpoint (57 seconds in on the video), half the pendulums are at one "amplitude maximum," the other half at the other "amplitude maximum," like ladies and gentlemen at a palace ball. You can almost see them curtsying and bowing. 

But here's the sly part.

There are secret choreographers in the house: Time and Motion. The Harvard design team has built the device so the pattern repeats every 60 seconds. Precisely. This dance, like Cinderella's ball, has a fixed end point. Read the full article

Daily Happy: Owned

Seriously best watched right after the scene that I linked below. Yeaaah. Appropriate!

Daily Happy: Mew Mew

So, I have a type. Tee hee.

Also, I have no idea why - but gifs only work in XL on this site. 

So ... giant fat cat fluffing his pillow is what cha get. I am not complaining.

Daily Happy: Black Cat Balloon Craziness

Balloon Animals!

Wait! Stay with me.

I know, usually the idea of balloon animals is, well - sorta unimpressive at this point. Usually, I actively avoid the weird dude forcing balloon animal hats on kids and unsuspecting passers by....

This morning, though, I saw these images and was VERY impressed!  Full-sized muppets...made out of balloons? What?! These are awesome! Look at those balloon-made people!

I'm told these are from Angry Birds - but I've never played. 

Yes? Do they look Angry Bird-like?

^^ My favorite! I love these crotchety old dudes.

Daily Happy: Acting Skill At It's Finest

When I saw keyboard cat shilling pistachios I knew that the  joke was sort of over - so it really takes a lot for me to rehash him. Ron Livingston as keyboard cat - as a perfectly done rendition of keyboard cat - was just enough. He. Nails. It.

So, so good.




Definitely made me happy.

Daily Happy: Nostalgia Wave

I remember this.

So, I am thinking about doing a 90's themed hoop video as I mentioned ages ago in this post. I can't decide on a song since there are so many phases of the nineties and quintessential songs of each phase. I will not be using "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I <3 Nirvana, but, it's just a little too obvious. 

Seriously, guys - what do you think? I am going with early nineties (no later than 1996.) Songs? Looks? Suggestions? I don't know why I am set on this idea, but I can't get it out of my head lately.

Daily Happy: Unexpected Smiles

The Daily Happy: Boo

I am starting a new feature called 'the daily happy' to feature all the randomness I find that gives a little dose of unbridled happiness for the day. Always needed, yes? 

Kicking us off is Boo. He is a very famous dog. Simply for being cute. 

Boo, you are a tribble with legs and a smile.

Derp. Derp.
