Another rainy day rounding off a whole week of rain, althought it's slowly clearing up now and my spirit which was in the pits this morning has been slowly but surely revived by Calvin and Hobbes. I don't know why I like this cartoon strip so much, I guess because however bleak and dark things may get, it will always warm my heart.

I first read my first book of C&H about 3.5 years ago when one of my friends accquired a xerox copy of a xerox copy of one the collections. And it was a magical world to fall into. I laugh hard at some of those strips today as much as when I read them for the first time. I hope this magic will always be so and that there will remain something in my life that gives me a good time no matter how I encounter it. While I can make a zillion number list with what I want, small and simple joys like C&H are all that my soul desires.

So we are going to run a few C&H themes here, starting with The Big Philosophy of Life and The Search for Meaning:

Morality

Devil

Absurdity

So what

Original Sin

How to be serene?

Better to hang out with animals?

Big Picture

Principles

State of the World
