The Cheese Fry has been at times labeled a cynical, negative, pessimistic misanthrope. Often, that's totally fair. But just because we like to complain doesn't mean we hate everything. We do occasionally feel happy. Submitted, then, for your approval are twenty things we absolutely love.
1. Richard Linklater's 1993 movie Dazed and Confused
2. Ice cold Dr Pepper in a glass bottle
3. Having the local broadcast of the hometown baseball game playing in the background on a weekend afternoon (runner up: playing the broadcast of golf in the background)
4. Being at the very back of a long left-turn line but still getting through the intersection before the green arrow turns yellow
5. Neneh Cherry's 1988 song "Buffalo Stance"
6. Cheddar fries from Snuffer's (bacon, chives, jalapenos on the side)
7. CBS' "The Price Is Right"
8. That cozy stretch of autumn from Halloween to Christmas
9. Film director Steven Soderbergh
10. Seeing a 90% or more battery change on our iPhone
11. The look and smell of a freshly mowed yard
12. The Hollywood and Vermont episodes of "I Love Lucy"
13. Larry McMurtry's 1985 novel Lonesome Dove
14. Playing Madden football on a PlayStation console
15. Wandering the aisles of a bookstore with money to spend
16. Our old second-floor apartment on La Brea Avenue
17. NBC's original recipe "Law and Order"
18. Our subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio
19. Disneyland
20. Watching a new movie opening weekend in a cold, mostly empty multiplex auditorium
