I made a Top Ten. Not in order. With silly little pleasures, you take what you're dealt.

Drawing, inking, colouring a picture.
Watching "The Big Lebowsky" with someone who expect the movie to have. a. plot.
When suitably hungry, the cat wakes me by sticking his nose into my ear.
Pan-fried panhas.
When it's cold and windy I have my personal banshee singing through the roof tiles.
Duck ramen.
Coffee, donut, cigarette. The trick is to dunk one into the other while smoking the third and not mixing up anything.
Rewatching Galaxy Rangers.
Comfy sofa, Discworld novel.
Podcasts. I've subscribed to about a dozen of them and sometimes they turn out highly entertaining. Beats the radio charts.

Quintaros

So many good ones. 

One that I'm enjoying this morning is a good coffee paired with a couple of chocolates.  My coffee quality control is really inconsistent so when I get it just right it's that much more special.

Nice to see the thread taking off, I was a bit embarrassed when no one replied! :-D

I also find the sound of rain relaxing!

Another silly little pleasure, my part of the bed is next to the wall, I like to lie on my front and put one arm down the side and touch the floor. Feel the coolness of the wall!

That sounds nice, but how does it compare to walking barefoot across a beach?

And another one: That little bit of milk you get when you're done with the cereal? It's delicious!

I very much agree (I actually overadd the milk on purpose so as to be sure there is plenty left. My wife only adds a splash...damn heathen...I've tried turning her to the light, but to no avail...), and would also add:

Licking the much thicker yogurt off the underside of the foil lid, and scooping out the same stuff caked around just inside the rim...

I agree with the milk/cereal thing, too. Though, I have recently found out that milk has been the cause of all my wind problems. Now, farting is also a pleasure of mine but I have been forced to cut down on milk for my relationship's sake.

Wait...I thought your farting super-powers were caused by eggs?! :P

Hehe. Well, they certainly do some damage too :-D

Also, the days you have off and get to leisurely cook your own meals and they turn out as well as you'd hope.
tldr: I say too much

That feeling after drawing 9497543985 sprites and importing them into the scene and just kick back and watch them animate...

That's an oddly specific number...

Mouth for war

Yeah because everybody knows that a smooth animation requires 9497543986 frames...hmmpfff...amateurs... :D
mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer

The cold part of my pillow.

I'm not sure if it would qualify as insomnia, but I often have trouble sleeping through the whole night in one go and I'll often find myself waking up at 4:30 or 5:00 AM. The silly little pleasure comes when this happens on a spring/summer weekend, as I'll sometimes get up from bed, grab a jacket, and go for a walk around the block to enjoy the early morning sun on my face and the absolute lack of noise, cars, children and drunk dudes shouting at trash cans (yeah that's lovely Berlin for you). Then I'll go back up to my apartment, make myself a nice cup of coffee, and usually I'll end up falling asleep on the couch for a couple more hours. It's a wonderful feeling to have my neighbourhood all to myself for a little while and being able to take that little nap afterwards without having to worry about going to work.

When you get to post on a thread again, because someone necroposted and no one noticed.  :-D

Waking up every morning to find the Almighty has given me yet another day....of both pleasure and pain  (laugh)
