Things That Make Me Smile

Thanks to Brian for inspiring this "I have nothing to do in my lame duck week at work" posting.

Things that make me smile (in no particular order):

The Eagles having a big lead late in the 4th quarter
24-hour Del Taco
The beach on a sunny day
Walking into my parents' house after a long time away
Ice cold 6-packs
Long weekends
New York fucking City
Sunday afternoons during football season
Bowling
3 hour dinners with nowhere to be afterwards
Greasy, drunken 4 a.m. food
Cal football games at Memorial Stadium
All-you-can-drink deals at brunch
Sports debates/discussions with the Tripathi brothers
Seinfeld references/discussions with the Bengali brothers
Drives to Vegas
Vegas
An 11 against a 6
A blackjack against a 20
Crazy Horse Too
The 15th and 30th/31st
Good hookah
Outdoor restaurants
Grey Goose Citron on ice
Promotions
BBQ's at my parents' beach house
Finishing a 5-mile run
Landing in a country I've never been to before
Old friend reunions, e.g. weddings, engagements, etc.
A proper steak dinner - hash browns, creamed spinach, a bottle of cab and absolutely NO steak sauce
80-day weekends

This is a partial list of stuff I can think of at the moment. So, what makes YOU smile???

i LOVE this ... even though i don't understand half the things on the list ...

however i notice that more or less none of them can be done in london ... did you smile at all during the last 3 months?

yeah...reena quotes getting all kinds of play. ronak did his rendition of the story sunday night for G. and yat i smile regardless of lists. bharhavi...seems like london isn't a very cheerful place huh??

since you've got, oh, NOTHING to do - how's about regaling those of us in the developing world with the reena story?

and if two of yatin's criteria for fun are "the beach" and "a sunny day," well i guess that would rule london out completely.
