m thinking about going to swimming or not.
Sleeping
Thank you, everyone! You're all so dear and kind. :)
The headache is still with me. I was given narcotics that did nothing. Tomorrow they are having me try allergy medicine, though I have never had an allergy. I'll be alright as long as I don't die.
Now I'm thinking about how much I love my friends here. I really love you.
And your friends love you too, Varenne. I Hope you feel better soon.Quote:

There are times when I really long for the return of Unnameable
Tomorrow is Monday and I really hate Mondays.
I got my 15 minutes on the Forums, now it's time to mow the lawn.
I'm thinking about sex again. It's that woman with the glasses walking past... Gone now.
It's time, I'm afraid.
I just discovered Joy Division. What the **** have I been doing with my life?
Obviously not listening to Joy Division.Quote:

How many experts on Nietzsche suddenly appear. LOL
I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I was obsessed with Nietzsche for 3 years and would up reading most of his corpus multiple times over.Quote:

Did abstract thought and language develop together?
Language is an abstract construct I suppose, so we are back to that link between the physical world and a series of grunts. That was some breakthrough.
Gagnam Style has over 1.6 billion youtube views, the highest view count I could find for a Mozart composition was 35 million. Something wrong with the world today.
Haha, what a coincidence, this past weekend we held a an Texas country college graduation ceremony for my niece (some might call it red neck graduation since it was accompanied with beer, crawfish, guns and fireworks). She graduated from law school in Oregon and wasn't able to attend there, so we held it locally.Quote:

Hell, you mention the travesty compared to Mozart, I say what about Burl Ives ... only 10,118 views, are you kidding me?!.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cscoeHW64
If you want to really get depressed, just look at the Top 40 (or whatever list).. I'd say 80% of them are totally produced (especially R&B) i.e. the concept is drafted, music written, band chosen, marketing put in place..they just then find a 'pretty face'. (And there is a directly inverse relationship with the ones who tweet themselves each hour and their talent).Quote:

Why can't the doctor give me some more of this opium stuff? It's good.
Shin splints have me immobilized. Could really use a wheel-chair.
Whoa Joyce, just whoa.
Perhaps the most brilliant prose passages I've ever come across. Mind is thoroughly blown. Now I see what all the fuss is about.

I feel out of the loop.

Great links, thanks. Yes, timeless class back then for sure, but that was before i was born...that felt good to say...can't often say that :) I was thinking more like the 60's and 70's as compared to taylor swift type he-done-me-wrong songs. And what is all the uh-ohing about? Swift, Pink, even guys. If I hear another song that says uh oh I'm going to scream.
I'm wondering if I should join the queue in the cafe, or wait a while in the perhaps vain hope that the flow of people will stop.
New leather jacket. New aviators. Lock up your daughters.
