Simple pleasures

1) The sun is shining. It's been shining all day.

2) I changed the vehicle icon on my Tom Tom GPS from the old-timey roadster I used to have to a cloud-generated flying saucer. Now when I am toodling down the road, the flying saucer hovers above the route, casting a shadow as it sees me safely to my destination. Every single time I look at it, I experience a small, internal jolt of delight. To borrow one of Gavi's phrases, "It makes me happy."

You're not really famous until...

...you're a PEZ dispenser." -- Carrie Fisher, Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy

Only it's not Carrie Fisher or even Princess Leia on these PEZ dispensers. It's William and Kate, aka Prince William and Catherine Middleton, soon to be husband and wife.

Two hours into the 10-day eBay for Charity auction and the bidding is already at £2,061.19 ($3,365.45). PEZ rarely puts anyone's head on a PEZ dispenser, anyone real, that is. The set being auctioned with the proceeds going to Starlight Children's Foundation in the UK. It's reportedly one of only two sets made by PEZ; the other set is going to William and Kate.

I may not be famous, but I am amused. Amused and curious to see just how much it goes for.
