03/09/2006: "Thoughts while waking up"
[The following is a "stream-of-consiousness" type account of some thoughts I had, trying to organize my day, between waking up at 8:00 AM and leaving the house at 10:50 AM]
Coffee. Now. (8:01 AM)
The sheer joy of the morning's first cigarette. I'm gonna miss that. (8:15 AM)
"Actions speak louder than words" And your actions speak volumes. I asked you not to be mean, and you agreed. Then, within 24 hours, you're posting nonsense about me? Is a little consistency too much to ask for? (Your hypocracy, both as a reason and an excuse) If this is the way I'm gonna be treated, next time you need help you might want to ask someone else. (8:22 AM)
Today I have off today. I technically had Tuesday off, but I went in anyway; so today is my first actual day off this week. I have lots to do. Here is a reproduction of my "to do" list:
get oil changed
library
eat
read Veblen ("Theory of the Leisure Class" and corresponding secondary literature)
write (semantic normativity in Wittgenstein's PI)
make my enemies suffer
drink beer (Copper Top, and then Cocoanut Bay tonight)
re-think my work space, and move things around accordingly.
laundry
dishes
store (coffee, candles, binder clips)
return Roger's journal
mail Best Buy rebates
(8:30-9:15 AM)
Fun Philosophy Tidbit: Did you know that Marx never used the term "false-consciousness?" It has been used by more contemporary Marxists to describe the class-counsciousness of the bourgeoise, but the only occurence of the term in the 50-volume Collected Writings is in a letter written by Engels (in Vol. 12).
