Joie de Vivre: joy in small pleasures Even if I didn't have a short story running in the first issue, I would still tell you to check out Joie de Vivre, a new webzine celebrating "small pleasures." My good friend Tara Avery has crafted something very sweet for the holiday season (and more seasons to come), and you should reward her by going and reading and linking.
Other small pleasures I have enjoyed today:
- This book I'm reading about a snarky 1930s English gardener. In today's chapter, the guy built a rock garden solely out of spite towards his neighbor. The chapter was entitled "How Not to Build A Rock Garden." SO CHARMING.
- Leftover lasagna.
- Rain.
- Maybe, just maybe, coming up with a really good solution to the latest tech problem to befall "Missed." THIS TIME FOR SURE.
- Having an extra ten minutes to kill at the Target megaplex, and using that time to find Christmas presents for people I hadn't initially planned on gifting.
- Remembering that Christmas is coming. And actually being pretty happy about it.
