12.13.02 Friday the 13th, eh? Well, today I found out that Kat is leaving me. She's moving back to her hometown. But, I guess, correlation is not cause.

Got my student evals back today; I think they're the best ever in the class I think I've done the worst job ever so far. Well, there's always room to improve. Those who think otherwise will never grow: they'll always suck worse than I.

Hope all is well, Happy Holi-daze

12.08.02 Here's a few performative paradoxes for you:

• I don't update my site
• Don't believe anything contained in this site.
• Tom is a fucking liar (except with philosophy-- he's all right there.)

I know, I've promised many updates to several of you, but rest assured: I've spent all that time either sick, working (dissertation is coming soon) or drinking. Of course, all I've ever done is drink and do philosophy. I've been in school continuously for twenty years this fall. I have very little sense of that which is outside academia; it scares me, frankly. Although I have made a few pedagogy errors in the past few months, I think I've helped my students in a very profound way this semester.

My dissertation should help all of mankind, I hope.

If I haven't updated, it is not because I'm not thinking about you. If I haven't responded to your emails, I'm sorry. I was sick for several weeks and am now doing my best to keep up with my work. I will respond; I will do my best.
