03/15/2006: "Quality time with Bertrand Russell" music: New Model Army

I spent the day trudging through Russell and the early Wittgenstein, building my foil to use early in the first chapter (this is what a referential theory of meaning looks like, and this is why you should avoid it). I wrote a little, edited some of stuff I already have written, and anticipate meeting my self-imposed deadline of a (very rough) draft of these first two chapters by the end of the month.

Having nobody around is great for being productive. My work is a jealous mistress now. But, I don't think I'm gonna be jeopardizing this positive work streak by subjecting myself to another two-year "march of death." The last two of them (Kat and Athena) took a lot out of me, and ended up being strikingly parallel; if I didn't know any better, I'd think they were the same person.

The single life is kinda cool, I just need to get out more, so that I can . . . you know, be single.

Yeah babe - no more 2 year marches of death. Stop taking people in who beat you up. Hang with me here and there! I'll keep your spirits up without fucking you over. Plus, I got the skills to put a smile on your face everytime!!

Of course, I can't provide you with the oppression of your previous relationships. I hope you don't miss that, but I just don't opperate that way. All I can help you with are honestly, loyalty, light hearted good times, and excellent company!! Not a bad deal, if you think about it wink
