  1. I am going to Scotland in March to present a paper ("Reid's Assault on the Theory of Ideas") at the big Thomas Reid conference. #yay
  2. ...when I walked into the party I was very chalant, despite my efforts to appear gruntled and consolate... (http://bit.ly/4zwzCC)
  3. Today was my father's funeral. It was an emotionally exhausting day, but I think it was the sort of service he would have wanted.
  4. @Sainsha That is breakdown of source of goodness by character.
  5. @Sainsha 5% everything else
  6. @Sainsha 80% T-rex, 15% utahraptor
  7. things that are difficult emotionally and intellectually: writing a eulogy for your father
  8. @malki I was very pleased to get the invite for your party. I had such a good time last year.
  9. I don't understand how the same person writes sonnet 17 and sonnet 130.
  10. @ezra_brooks It really does make a difference, and eases the spreading of information a lot.
  11. @ezra_brooks I posted some tragic news, and so many people who I otherwise would not even have talked to about it offered their sympathy.
  12. Anyone who thinks facebook is indicative of increased technological alienation should re-think that position. I feel very connected now.
  13. My father passed away this evening. He lost a battle with very aggressive leukemia.
  14. @AidanMcGlynn Actually, I'm not sure what Fine applies it to, but I do know that, in general, he seemed to reserve it for basic entities.
  15. @AidanMcGlynn the curly R mechanism does not require that stance.
  16. @AidanMcGlynn On Fine's view: yes, but only because he only applies curlycue R to statements about basic particles.
  17. Kit Fine's curlycue 'R' allows us to have our cake and eat it too, so long as we admit we don't really have it after all.
  18. Dear Leukemia, Fuck you. -Lewis
  19. McSweeney's Internet Tendency is approximately 1/3 as amusing as it thinks it is.
