But I totaly agree with you, I mostly listen to rock from the decades past.

Oh, there are definitely great bands from all over the world (even North America) but I just felt like assigning English ones, as I think they are great.

I could assign "good music" as a whole, but I'm sure that's been assigned already.

The worker in the bakery of a local supermarket who sang "O Holy night" pitch perfect as he stacked shelves and transformed the drudgery of preChristmas shopping into something magical.

Perfectly made noodles. An honest, simple pleasure, perhaps, but one that is twofold. The first pleasure comes from the consumption of the noodles when they're of the perfect consistency to slurp. Too wet, and you get covered in noodle-juice; too dry and slurping is not a possibly. Then, once you've eaten and lazed around for a while, the second pleasure of washing the saucepan... when the noodles are made right, it takes 20 seconds to clean.

The TATA box. Any genetics students will know what I'm talking about. In a field full of almost random acronyms such as TFIIIC and Pol I and what not, the simplicity (not to mention rather laughable sound) of the TATA box is quite amusing.

For those of you who have no clue of what I'm talking about, the TATA box is a sequence of repeated Thymine and Adenine bases in DNA that are used to initiate the expression of the gene. But it is just lovely that it is pronounced Tah-Tah box... I can't say that with a straight face!!
