The most wonderful time of the year.

A miscellany, lacking in parallel sentence structure:

1) Peanuts Holiday Collection Box-Set: arrived.
2) The weather now necessitates a change in outerwear. Enter layering and fingerless gloves.
3) Amazing new scarf, courtesy of even more amazing fellow.
4) Silk has begun selling soy nog again.
5) About to have five-and-one-half days off in a row.

I may have more work than can be accomplished in the number of hours I have, but dagnabbit if life isn't just grand.

"The problem with philosophers is that because their jobs are so hard they drink a lot of coffee and thus use in their arguments an inordinate quantity of pots, mugs, and jugs--to which, sometimes, they might add the occasional rock"
                        - Bruno Latour, "Why Has Critique Run out of Steam: From Matters of Fact to
                           Matters of Concern"

The plight of the practitioner of humanities, ever circling around coffee and vessels with which to contain it.
Life is hard.
