I like your Art.

But I do not like your artists. You artists seem so much unlike your Art. (with apologies to Gandhi)

Sam is inspiring. He does amazingly insane things that, most of the time, I would consider just sheer folly if performed by others. He's hella impressive, and that's nice to know.

"I like the fact"

No. Stop. You will not like the facts. They are rarely pleasant, and never beautiful.

Things have lately been things. Not like facts. They make the world, and that is all the case.

"I'd like to fuck his/her brains out."

What conceivable reasons could you ever have to say something like this? Do you really wish to imply that sexual activity with you is either a) so incredible or b) so mindnumbingly dull that your partner (or more correctly, victim) is lobotomised at the end of it?

People are crazy.

I've become so old. "Every night I used to go to sleep dreaming of beautiful women. Then one day I woke up realising I went to sleep dreaming of the Caribbean." Except, I went to sleep dreaming of social contract theory and patent law.

The only thing being worse than old is being young, and vice versa.

And you said it couldn't be done

But I did it bitches! I voted! Woo rights!

On a related note, end women's suffrage! Why must women suffrage?

I got to see Michael Cera! He's ridiculous awesome.

"It's like wearing a wet pair of jeans."

"No thanks, I've seen it."

Superbad is a nice flick. Cera has exquisite nipples. Snappy, snappy movie. The whole dicks thing is...imaginative, to say the least. Kinda cool, also...disturbing. But only mildly.

Lots and lots of work has been happening! I'm making money. I used this to purchase salad! Gooood salad.

Baldur's Gate. Was ended. By me. For. The. Win.

On to Baldur's Gate II!

How many of you are there?

Only one. The rest are all evil twins.

Really, I wish to commemorate a damn fine omelette. It was delicious, and I (accidently) made so much that there's some left over! yay for overmaking.

A good day, surprisingly, despite me not getting to eat my apple. My classes for Prac. Ethics got cancelled, which was slightly disappointing, but I managed to confront the guy who threw me off so damn much last week. I managed to stumble upon a solution to social contract and animal rights, but it's unwieldy, as making moral obligations go. It's simple enough to enact morally good statutes, but making morally obligatory rules for animal ethics is much more...convoluted.

It's useful to have lawyer friends who know contract theory extremely well.

Had a nice shot of Campos, got to see and hear Sam's great guitariffic croonings, and got my book back. Good day was had by all.

Stuff to do! Why must there be several good things on at the same time? Gittins is talking tomorrow at 5, Hermes has journal launch, and Filmsoc on at same time. Yet I have work through all this. Seriously lame.

I hold in my hands BG II. It looks uber fantastic. Granted, haven't finished BG I yet, but I'm nearly done, if it weren't for my rather absurdly busyness this week. Off I go. Weee.

I have no idea what you're talking about

so here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head

This is what happens after reading hours of philosophy.

So adorable!

See, I thought it was going to be a crude drawing of a bunny, with a round thing on its head to represent teh pancake, but it's an actual bunny with an actual pancake on its head. It's so cute I've bookmarked it. Its ears are kinda pinned back by the pancakes...so great.


See, the bunny and this is the stuff I want on my walls. Nifty.

Nothing turns people off Christ like Christians

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."

- Marcus Aurelius

I've been wondering

What else is left to do nowadays?

It's been said before, and it's going to be said again, but the United States is completely insane. What's really interesting is how it's been insane this entire goddamn while. Sure, De Tocqueville called it, but he's French. Automagically disqualified (especially with a name like Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville)

One of the reasons (abortion politics) is the seeming lack of said politics in Australia. It's almost bizarre: Abortion regularly comes up on legislative agendas and it can make or break political careers there. Here, it gets a passing mention. Maybe. We only pay attention when somebody decides to be stupid about it. *cough* Family First *cough*

Good time have had. Baldur's Gate edges to completion. Bought myself wonderfully cheap collection of Steinbeck. Babies must go! Need to articulate differences between political and social liberterianism. Possibly add economic concerns as well. Also note: Keep away from Hitler. Keep Hitler away from everything.
