One from when I lived in Michigan: right after a huge snowstorm has stopped; walking through a neighborhood with the snow insulating everything... it's so-o-o quiet.
Same thing when I was a student in Leyden. A nightly walk through the late medieval and seventeenth century town center all covered by a pristine white blanket, the only sound the crunch of your own footsteps; the yellowish lanterns; the crisp fresh air; the cry of a seagull. Zen.Quote:

A cool (not cold) high caliber beer, after a hard day's work on a Saturday, busting hump around the house.
The Flintstone's Pebbles sound my wife makes in her sleep. (Shhh! She'd kill me for sharing that one)
A cup of robust coffee, the Sunday paper, a bagel and Meet The Press.
Similar to Adrian & Kukri, walking after a snowstorm, but I prefer to be in the woods.
Hitting a GREAT golf shot (like dropping one pin high, 5 feet from the hole from 160 yards out)
Anything my daughter does (well, maybe not the crying at 3AM, but most everything). Speaking of which, to all the Dads out there, how long can I expect to enjoy that sweet baby smell and is there any way of preserving/bottling it for a bad day several years down the road?
A glass of Powers' Irish Whiskey, neat.
Weddings.
Time well spent with friends.
You have one week for that IIRC. It can not be bottled, you'll have the unique memory though. And how about the memory of soothing and comforting her at 4 pm, taking her on your arm over to the window to let the lights outside distract her from the crying. Shh, shh, look little one... Newborns have these big, staring eyes that seem to take everything in all at the same time. You never forget that look.Quote:

That's all. ~D
Launch/detonation of warheads. :help:
Sneaking out in the middle of the night, wearing an amateur ninja suit and stalking squirrels.
I see smells have been mentioned, and I must confess that for some reason I just love the smell of gasoline and wet paint (seperately, of course). Just standing there, inhaling the scent, I find very stimulating.
Also, the smell of books, and plastic. Mmm. ~:wacko:
Winning Snow Bomb Battle in the Arcade and having it displayed here in the Frontroom. :grin:
*Although the Arcade has also been a place of crushing disapointment for me, when I don't get high scores or the recent example of Big John knocking me off the Whack a Nazgul #1, which was my first highscore...:disappointed: :sad2:
You took that highscore from me. ~:pissed:Quote:

Pulling out strands of hair. :nice:
You changed your name, that makes your highscore null and void...:grin:Quote:

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
A really good song coming up when the iPod is set to shuffle through all the songs. That's a nice surprise.
Winning Spacedude :grin2:
More from my list...
Watching films of destruction e.g. Nuclear weapons, World War 2, that stuff, while playing classical music in the background. Very relaxing and enjoyable.
Starving yourself all day until the evening so you can eat the big meal your mother has made.
Eating the big meal your mother made.
The smell of game manuals.
The sense of intrepidation and the unknown when playing a new game for the first time without knowing what game it is (this happened to me with RTW and MTW. You only get that feeling for the first few days, and you should treasure it).
Last school lesson on a Friday, knowing that within an hour you'll have a few days of lounging around.
Exploring old attics/garages that are full of old, dusty things.
Watching stars on a quiet night.
Going on foreign bulletin boards and speaking English to annoy the foreigners.
The feeling you get after having a midday nap.
Hot showers...:sweatdrop:
Yes, hot showers pwn...
Snow days ~:snowman:
Snowballs.
The smell of new vauum cleaners. :inquisitive:
Just can't enough of those Alienware cases... :smitten:
