Leaf Small joys...

The fact that my dorm is really bad at this whole quiet hours idea. However, I do live in the "smart" dorm, so it can't get much quieter than usual. But no one freaks out if you talk loudly in the hallway in the afternoon.

I also want to send taking a study break to go see the Chronicles of Narnia with a group of people you don't know very well or haven't really talked to in about two months and having a good time anyway. Oh, and the Late Night Breakfast at the caf last night...and being served by the residence life staff.

Four hours of staying in a bookstore where you can read, cover-to-cover, whatever book you like.

Of course there's no harm having more hours to spare.

This will probably be seen as heresy by some here, but I hereby assign Peter Jackson to the Shire.

Despite his recent astonishing weight loss, he is still a Hobbit in my mind.

And not content with giving me three of the best film experiences of my life, he has now gone a step further and given me a fourth. His re-make of King Kong is awesome!

Working to save somebody else some time or energy, and knowing how much they'll appreciate it. The kittens are going nuts today.

Philosophising with people you not only like, but also respect, and the feeling of awe that it might, just might, be mutual.

Coming back home after a fun expedition, with Jacques Brel running through your head, to see the moon so large, bright and yellow that you momentarily mistake it for the sun. And then watching the clouds dance across it and doing nothing but staring. Apparently, it wont be brighter for another 25 years.

My first experience with Old French. Beautiful.

Reading books more than 50 years old. You really start to appreciate the English language, its complexity and beauty and the panaply of words to discover. The sad feeling that books seem to be dumbed down these days may belong to Mordor, but the nostalgia of old books definitely goes to the Shire.
