Blech. Dissertating tonight. Anyone out there live in a country with a civil code legal system that feels like explaining how precedent gets used in one?

Or Louisiana. Louisiana still has Napoleonic code, right?

Random thoughts on food, in honor of the impending festival:

1. Eating a pomenagranate alone is a profoundly lonely experience.

2. I'm really starting to like brussels sprouts in my old age.

Happy thanksgiving everyone.

I've heard of philosopher-kings before, but you might be the worlds first philsopher-pimp.

And yes, life would be so much simpler if we all had chips in our heads, wouldn't it? No need to bother with all those inconvient "choices" anymore. wink

The group I was refering to was "The Next Generation" a young adult group that grew out of Black Rose.

Blech. My girlfriend just left back for NYC, and unfortunately, lovely as the ladies here are, their photos are a poor substitute for the genuine item.

I know, I shall channel my frustration into searching Westlaw for useful Alien Tort Claims Act cases! That's *sure* to work!

Sweet boy....
such bitter flavor collects beneath the tongue and the pallet will resent you for it.

Fleets she does to places much faster, much harder, where wind is forced into and out of the lungs

Breathing is replaced by possessed movement of electric metropolis

souls grow sleepy (weepy) in between the subway stops

until they find their way onto a bus, plane or train where they nuzzle into nap until waking at home with you...

Gad-DANG. Finally finished with my fucking Marx lectures (at least now they're done for next semester, too).

If the revolution comes and tosses me out of my bourgeois ideology-producing job before I get to give the last one tomorrow, I'm gonna be hella pissed.

he figured out something to do: he wrote thousands of pages of shit and started a new school of philosophy.....i guess. or maybe he just whined alot about not marrying that chick.

On the one hand, I'm very happy that I've finally found a CSA in the DC area (well, a pseudo-CSA, it's fucking cold here now, so they buy from further afield).

But, looking at the remains of the 25# box delivered just yesterday, I've learned one important fact about myself.

To wit, I can eat a *lot* of vegetables in pretty short order.

Fuck. I just missed the launch of my friend's book.

What do you give someone as an "I'm an asshole and forgot your first book launch party please forgive me" gift? Hallmark doesn't seem to have a card.

You should have just had your Sabatt players attack the concert. Freak out the normals, that's what I always say.


P.S: You could always just buy out every copy of the book.

I was good. I didn't get in a fight with the student refugee from my friend's section who both claimed that he wanted small government and that Reagan was his hero. Biggest. Deficits. Ever.

But my mood was bouyed by the fact that the *reason* J was sending his students to my class was that he's out of town to prep for his wedding. Which,...

Gaddang, I hate grading.

Some things you should know if you are an undergrad:

1. Yes, your profs make fun of you behind your back. Your worst work may very well be on some grad student's fridge somewhere. We're not proud of this necessarily, but our lives are small and bitter.

2. Do not, under any circumstances, open your paper by saying something to the...

homonculus:
haha.. right on. I just finished grading papers for the first time a few weeks ago and it was utterly wretched. It took a few days for my mind to recover. You might want to add that the terms use in philosophy usually have technical meanings and so Webster's isn't going to cut it.

You might appreciate this grammar error from the paper of one of my friend's students:

'everyonce and a while'

All is well, since I have seen good theater.

If you're reading this, and you are anywhere near DC, you NEED to go see Synetic Theater's production of Hamlet. Your life will be better for it. They're a Georgian (land of Reds, not of rednecks) troupe now based out of the Spectrum theater in Rosslyn, and the production is a silent interpretive dance/mime version of...

Alas, the transportation costs make it quite beyond my reach. DC is not quite, but pretty near, as far as one can be and still be on the same continent. Sounds great, though. Maybe they'll travel to BC sometime. Well, that's blatant wishful thinking. But we can hope, right?

I wish I was better at using this forum to troll for validation, but...

I'm not feeling all that worthwhile these days. My work for Amnesty seems minimal, and I'm always trailing a day or three behind my responsibilities for them. I don't care at all (almost) about my diss topic any more, which is I suppose exactly the sort of Zen state that one...
