So, we had Lisa's family in town for a wedding recently, and while they're great people, I'd have to say I don't particularly enjoy having 4 family members staying at my house for a week. Especially when one of them doesn't take the "no photos" rule seriously. Ah well.
But family is gone, and everything is quiet again. I'm looking forward to getting back to a normal diet (namely, one that doesn't consist of nothing but cheese, meat, and wine). Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about decadence, but seriously . . . . blue cheese covered steak 3 nights in a row? Jesus.
I'm currently reading Hume's Treatise on Human Nature. I don't know if it's me or if it's that the books is so old, but not too much of it sounds overly insightful. Hopefully getting deeper in will change that. It doesn't help that the man couldn't keep his terms straight. We shall see. As a break I'm re-perusing The Complete Calvin & Hobbes, a strip which figured heavily in my childhood. Waterson is a genius, and the books are really well done.
I have a lot of liquor, wine, and beer at my house right now. You are jealous, yes? No? YES!!! DO NOT LIE TO ME!!
ahem.
So yes. I'm hoping to get something worthwhile out of Hume. A paper perhaps. Dog knows I'm not writing anything else right now.
Did I say Dog? There is no Dog!
