More Joy Day?

[shah_of_blah]

Apparently today is More Joy Day.  Who knew?  First off, I don't have a thread on help_haiti  but a few of my flisters do and it seems like a groovy thing.  Check it out if you think you might be interested.  But if not, there are other options!  Cribbed from various places around the internet:

Text 'HAITI' to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts or text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill) or you can visit www.yele.org and click 'donate'.

From MoveOn.org:
These three charities, and many others, are providing care. If you can contribute to help fund their emergency efforts, please do.

* Doctors Without Borders

* Oxfam America

* Yéle Haiti

And now, a few things that have brought me joy.  Some fandom, some not.

A fic: The Right Words by roofietoof.  Previously recced in my 'Pearls of the Pit' post, this story makes me smile every time.  Seriously.  Lee compares Kara to a turkey sandwich and hilarity ensues.
A picspam: 100 Reasons Why Starbuck Is Awesome by em_meredith
A website: Dinosaur Comics!
A video: Tina Fey on Sesame Street

Hee, the vid made me smile!

I read "The Right Words" for the first time a couple of days ago (thanks for the rec!), and I am with you, it's completely happy-making :)

And that picspam... I love it! (but it made me more nostalgic than happy, I must admit --sniff. I miss Starbuck so much!

"The Right Words" and "believe them to be true" might be my favorite happy fics right now. So good. And I've been re-reading a lot of old stories on ff.net these days.

It does have a nostalgic value to it. But mostly I just want to keep on celebrating her awesomeness. :P

I love "Believe Them To Be True" too, it's one of my all-time favorite stories :)

I know! (it's just that I am feeling nostalgic these days ;))

Tina Fey ftw! That was so cute. :) Thanks for the links--it has been too long since I read "The Right Words."

It's great to see how quickly the relief fundrasing for Haiti have gotten under way--one of the benefits of our technology-obsessed world today!

Tina Fey is on my list of people I would like to be.

I know what you mean. And I expect that of international organizations like Doctors Without Borders or Oxfam, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the quick response here on livejournal!

I had never seen that picspam before but it was lovely. I miss pilots!

Glad you enjoyed! I discovered that picspam during last year's Kara Celebration Week, and I love it.
