...the smell of early grey tea

...the anticipation right before a concert that you know is going to be good

...when the opening act at said concert is almost better than the act their opening for

...finding someone responded to your thread on archinect and the stall of the internet opening said thread

...a well made cosmo

also have to agree on those first five minutes in bed after a review. the bed could be made out of cement and it would still feel like a cloud!

yeah sporadic, also:

the smug eleation of talking your way into an invite only party.

lying to security/police.

when you were underage telling a bouncer that you were 18 and getting away with it.

or are those subtle guilty pleasnt sensations?

riding a bike downhill on a cold night, even the tears from the wind feel good.

The drawings are waiting for you at the print shop, it's a gorgeous sunny afternoon, you're driving with your windows down listening to Kings of Convenience. Very pleasant.

Thanks again, puddles.

When you are lying in bed, just about to fall asleep and you know you are just about to fall asleep. You have a weird sense of it and you can't move your body.

to follow up stevens napping. yesterday i woke up early and went out for coffee after doing some laundry. came back and read for a bit and fell asleep from 11:30 to 2. returned some dvd's and got some more. talked to liberty bell (who was working!) watched the merchant of venice. read some more and fell asleep again from six to eight. watched a movie called second best. did dishes. read some more and went to bed. the way to spend a rainy day. well one way at least...

I've thought of this 30 times since reading it, so I have to go ahead and post it now:

The first time I read:

The first time I read, "...but the mountain lion signs keep my mother worried."

Knowing someone else reacted exactly as I did to the same input.

-purposely falling asleep on a couch in a hotel room full of seventeen family members in the middle of the day (me, yesterday, 5 pm)

The day after a deadline.

Wind blowing on your face when when you exit a building (particularly in New York! lol)

Dog greeting you when you get home.

Finally buying those the pair of shoes you've been eyeing on for the last few weeks =)


The smell of New York. Yes, even the subway tunnels =P LOL.

my most pleasant sensation this week - the 1/2 day:
leaving work after lunch yesterday, going home, sitting on the couch, and watching The Shining.

-august, drizzle+ soil=smell, leaves,red, orange, brown, yellow, black and a thought in mind

-pale tea and dark honey

-winter, sipping warm coffe in a cafe, bescarved, watching people pass by and wearing a meaningless fuzzy smile

-also winter, at home with the girls, red wine and silly makeup do's.

subtle pleasant/bittersweet sensation:

realizing today that my daughter looks different in the morning (a time when i very rarely see her, but she was up before i left today...) - just generally brighter, more wide-eyed, and with puffier cheeks - and attributing the change in the evening it to the accumulation of the effects of gravity over the course of the day.

cool thought [observation/hypothesis?] - but also makes me realize that she spend more time awake without me than with me.

Steven, I feel that whenever I meet Brian for lunch - we both have so much more energy, we're more alert - not so sleepy as in the morning or so exhausted as in the evening. Sadly the people we work with see us at our best!

that moment - just that moment when you realize, drink in hand, getting up from the stool laughing, that you have a

really

serious

buzz

on the train. you think she's looking, but you're vain. vanity. wait - she looked again. now you think - being paranoid. and vain.

but

when she finally looks and smiles - thats when the warmth hits...

buzzed. friends. bar. round the table with funny commercials - and someone mentions <i>"office linebacker"<i> hilarity ensues...

when little people put their head on your chest and giggle so low that only you could hear them...

But butter tastes better. Speaking of butter, warm melted butter on toast is nice.

Not at all subtle but still quite nice:

Seeing my girlfriend for the first time, after being in the middle east for too long, and knowing she is no longer scared.

The sound and sight of the peleton as they chase down a breakaway near the end of a race.


And one subtle one:

Being hugged from behind by my girlfriend for no reason at all.
