Kricket’s Happy Korner: A Slice of My Life

Hello lovely readers and welcome to the first episode of Kricket’s Happy Korner! This is where I share the stuff that made me grin or laugh or whatever happy response you prefer. Let’s get started shall we?

To start things off, I’m grateful for long weekends where I get to have Daniel home for an extra day and we all get to play together as a family.

Ke$ha’s new CD. I’ve been listening to it non-stop for like a week. It’s a great mix of peepy and soulful songs and it just makes me grin and want to dance or sing along when I listen to it.

So You Think You Can Dance is pretty much the best competition show on TV. Who wants to watch mediocre singers stand on a stage when you can watch amazing dancers fly across one? I mean really. Also, way better than Dancing With the Stars because these dancers actually know what the hell they’re doing and they’re damn good at it too.

I’ve become addicted to this game on my Kindle Fire called Dragon Story. It’s a game were you hatch, raise and breed pretty dragons. The dragon designs are great and very diverse. I find it great fun, but I’m pretty easily amused.

And now for a book review. 🙂

I’m giving Mockingjay 4 Stars. I really liked it, and felt it was a good ending to the series. Not a happy ending but a real one. I’ve read other’s reviews and understand some of the negative ones but I like that this story didn’t end happy for Katniss. At least not fairy tale happy. It’s more real. Some reviewers wanted her to be a super hero, but she’s not really, she’s just a 17 year old girl trying to survive and sometimes only kind of succeeding. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the movies.

I am a big fan of Felicia Day and she just launched a new YouTube channel called Geek & Sundry Vlogs and on it is one vlogger who talks about comics. I’m kind of new to comics and Amy Dallen does a good job of introducing the world of comics to people. Also, she’s kind of cute as a button. Here is the first video. You should check out the rest of the channel as well, it’s nothing but geek stuff.

And that’s all for now, friends! *reads over blog* Yep, that kind of sums up my life and all the things I like to do.

So tell me, what makes you happy? Is there something new you’ve discovered that you’d like to share? I’d love to hear about it in the comments. *hint hint nudge nudge*

Have a happy start to your week!
