Suddenly I'm in a good mood

I have been promised a titanic, King Lear-style thunderstorm for later today. Meanwhile the internet tells me Cast in Chaos is available at Barnes & Noble, and I am making President Obama's favorite tacos and also probably Aztec gold brownies, and the ATLA sequel is confirmed, and White Collar and Covert Affairs were pretty awesome last night, so yay!
My bird is still acting freaked, though. I'll know I'm forgiven for getting his nails trimmed, omg, when he comes out of his house of his own volition.
ETA: Also I bought organic creamery milk in a glass bottle, omg it's good.
ETA 2: And I have now obtained Cast in Chaos, and since it's 98ยบ at least outside I bought myself a chocolate cartwheel from the ice cream truck which was passing through my neighborhood. Still just as delicious as when I was eight. And my bird made eye contact with me! There's hope yet.

Let me tell you, if Annie needs to keep being saved any time she gets into a fight, I'm going to get sick of this show fast.

I like that the show didn't make her some kind of superwoman right off the bat, because that would be unrealistic, but between Auggie giving her advice and her taking down the double agent at the end of this episode (with pepper spray, yes, but victory is victory), I'm hopeful that she'll learn how to win eventually.
