Snow Day!

Yummy man has been snowed in by the weather, and so have I. Work is closed until noon, and I'll start making progress on some pesky projects from my home office later today to keep up.

In the meantime, there's nothing to be done for it: I'll just have to stay warm and close to lovely mage_imbroglio, enjoying his delicious company. I can play in the downstairs gym, too---I'm so glad I didn't let go of my home equipment.

Yay!

A more adventurous way to live:

"There’s a common misunderstanding among all the human beings that have ever been born on the earth that the best way to live is to try to avoid pain and just try to get comfortable. You can see this even in insects and animals and birds. All of us are the same.

A much more interesting, kind, adventurous, and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our inquisitiveness is bitter or sweet. To lead a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full, and delightful life than that, we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is."

Oh my gods, yes!
