Kitten Hanging from Tree Branch = Cute + Emotionally Uplifting

Both quarter and semester have resolutely passed their midpoints, and I for one am starting to show signs of wear and tear. I increasingly leave my classes frustrated, especially at the junior college where I get to watch my students routinely sabotage their chances of passing the course. Progress on my dissertation can best be described as glacial, less in the sense that should my dissertation melt it will raise global sea levels and wreck havoc on marine ecosystems, as it's just moving really fucking slowly. And it occasionally sloughs off ice flows into the ocean. But mainly the slow thing. Clearly, I need a "pick me up,"and while I always have my alcohol abuse to desperately cling to, for those of you who respect your bodies enough not to actively try to kill it by repeatedly ingesting delicious poison, I humbly offer some inspirational posters for your consumption. Enjoy.
