Happiness? Plz?

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, :>

(Holy shit, I hate Heidegger with a passion! Him, Kant and Hegel are my philosophical Trifecta of Evil. :-/)

This picture made me grin today.

Thank God I don't have to read either Kant or Hegel. Heidegger is bad enough... Unfortunately, I have to know at least an iota of phenomenologies of the mind and self and his work forms the basis of a lot of the later critics I've been reading >.<

But forget him!

WOMBAT!!!!!

Aren't they adorable? They're so goofy and fat.
