Since 99% of the folks who actually look at this journal come here from the Philosophy group, I thought I'd mention this here.
I'm going to be trying to keep a blog (more for myself than anyone else, but input is welcome) of 'rough draft' ideas in philosophy proper (so yeah, you'll probably hear about sovereignty again).
No idea how often it'll be updated, since I'm going to keep minutiae here or in my LJ - whenever I have an idea I want to write down, I guess.

re: my weird ass program. i'm in the ph.d program right now. but in addition to courses and exams - we have a thesis requirement. SO, in our 2nd year we do a thesis. THEN, post-exam (which we should finish up ideally in the 3rd year) - we start the proposal/dissertation phase. basically, they just like to keep us busy. the thesis does have value .. you get a chance to work on developing an original project and work close with faculty. if you're good - you can plant the germ of a dissertation. it's an odd process.
By the way, some tix are avilable for the show at Studio I'm working on, if you are interested.
