Happiness? Plz?

[aesc]

On the Trinity is depriving me of the will to live. As depressing is my imminent return to Heidegger, whom I abandoned because I couldn't take him anymore but need to start reading again. I'm not a philosopher or theologian, but I have to pretend I'm one for a while, and I don't think it's going well.

So. Tell me something that makes you happy. Tell me a story. Show me a picture. Anything to keep me from harming myself or the library book, or fleeing to the Northwest Territory.

Something that makes me happy: my dog grinning at me and thumping his tail when he happens to look up as I look down. My Moleskine commonplace book, which is stuffed full of quotations and randomness.

Also, all being well, sgabigbang goes live tomorrow, :>

Having to go this weekend to a family reunion with the side of the family that worships the Holy Trinity of Regan, Elvis and Charlton Heston, I found a marvelous place. On NYS route 65, roughly a mile and a half out of Potsdam, New York (the real Upstate)is Scoopachinos - an elegant old house that is a restaurant, coffee bar, ice cream parlour and cyber cafe.

The Cyber Cafe was the only aspect we did not use. Good coffee; my sister found her mocha cappuccino too sweet, but that's Joyce. Excellent sandwiches, yummy sour dough pancakes and monstrous salads. They make their own sorbet and gellato - according to Marirose, our gellato snob, it's very close to the Italian gellato. I loved the Almond Joy variety.

That sounds awfully close to Heaven to me. I may have to go on a pilgrimage. And gelato. Ahhhhhhhh.
