My day can REALLY use a Happy List, so here we go:

1. This video of Aussie Grandmas performing a Sex Pistols song cracked my shit up! How AWESOME are they???



The video is courtesy of Jezebel": In the video above, a group of Australian women over the age of 80 perform the 1977 song "God Save the Queen" by The Sex Pistols, which was originally titled "No Future" and banned by the BBC. It's part of artist Christoph Büchel's exhibit "no future" at the Sydney Biennale 2008. The ladies were given an open gallery space and told to rehearse the song whenever they wanted. Modern art would probably be a lot more exciting if every gallery featured a group of grannies performing punk rock.


2. While we're YouTube-ing it: This video of Ellen and Portia's wedding had me tearing up. Love in all its forms will ALWAYS make the Happy List!!!




3. I've got plans to go see Lady Antebellum tomorrow night!!! I'm ridiculously excited about seeing this group play! Don't judge. I grew up in a small, rural Arizona town -- country music is as much a part of my musical DNA as are Spanish boleros and 80's pop. I can STILL feel you judging but I don't care, it's still happeh-makin'!!! *beams*

4. My t.v. and DVR are full of new shows!!! I'm watching this week's One Tree Hill now (I ♥ Q so much! *sobs*), next up is True Blood (obviously work is NOT on this evening's agenda) and tonight there shall be Sons of Anarchy!!! Hot men on motorcylces with lickable tattoos! I definitely approve!

5. Only 43 days until NEW ORLEANS!!!!!!!!!!! *bounces* Man, I can't wait! Awesome music and N'awlins style shennanigans aside, I am MOST looking forward to time with [livejournal.com profile] editorzon, [livejournal.com profile] azewewish, and [livejournal.com profile] dellastarr. I miss my girls! *squishes*

LOL! Yeah!

I had no idea Portia was an Aussie. SO BEAUTIFUL! They are so happy!
