This Week's Pleasant Surprises

In chronological order...

• Nitrous oxide at the dentist - cranked way up and thrown in for free because my dentist was running late for my appointment.
• That a guy my friend has a crush on probably didn't flirt with me the first time we met because he definitely didn't flirt with me the second time we met (which may not seem all that pleasant, but believe me, that's the last thing I need right now).
• Got a pass to ACLfest without resorting to Craigslist or scalping.
• The Daily Poll responses about the movies people have watched the most.
• A friend canceled tonight's plans, which means that not only do I get to take a nap and then watch tv tonight, but I also didn't have to be the one who bailed.
• A misunderstood conversation that--follow me here--I thought was about this gung-ho, smiley, Mormonesque young guy I know saving a choking man's life during a public meeting last night, when it was REALLY about the gung-ho guy *choking* the other man when an argument about rail transit turned physical. Me (when I still thought the first thing): "He's a real go-getter!"
