Well, I just got a bunch of my art supplies in the mail today. I love getting parcels in the mail, it feels like christmas. I also got a few books in the mail as well. The feeling of getting new books in the mail reminds me of when I was a child and we used to order books through a catalogue at school. Each month a small flier was given to each child in the second grade, on the flier was a collection of books you could order for a small price. Then the books were delivered to the teacher and she would distribute them to the proper students, all the while jealouse onlookers were watching as you got your prize. It was probably the height of my existence as a second grader.
Not much else is going on, I'm studying for finals, and I have two left. One for logic on monday, and on the 30th I have to hand in my linguistics assignment. My puppy is doing fine, he loves the snow here, his favorite activity is jumping through the powder and barking and spinning in the snow. It's hilariouse to watch really.
Philosophically I've been kind of inspired and I'm considering writing my honors thesis on how contemporary ethical theories deal with disabilities. That is to say, what do contemporary ethical theories say about how we ought to treat the disabled, and how the disabled individual can live a good life? It should be a good thesis, that is kind of unexplored in philosophy. I'm not really surprised though, the intellectual tradition in philosophy have kind of ignored the disabled individual because it tended to muck up perfectly decent ethical theories, and made them more complicated (tongue in cheek here). Sigh when will we learn.

I don't think the Amish set would work though. I don't know if they'd consider it sexy. Haha.
I always want to break cells. Some people are just far too annoying with them.
Well I'm happy it made your day! Your comment made mine. ^w^
