Wow, Jack, you really could pass for Human in that shot. Who knew?

Here is the shirt I'm wearing to work today. Had one student everyone said was obnoxious want to "discuss" his tuition. Oddly enough, he was nice to me.

Well, I've made the mistake of wandering into the RWED threads, and am regretting it mightily. To soothe my irritation at the illogicality and back-patting in there, I thought I'd post this:

That's my mother doing...well, I don't even know what she's doing. And my father in the right background.

Heh..my brother took my daughter and I to Pinball Pete's tonight. I had no idea the Art Fair was going on. What a pain to find parking...but my daughter had a ton of fun!

Oh, and this humidity thing is kinda making me not want to move back here.

If you're very good I'll see what I can dig up tonight! Sadly I'd be horribly outclassed in the sexy department but I could at least show you the dowdy school marm version!

Wow, it's good to see you, too Emma! I haven't been around for a spell, so I can't tell if you have or not; but thanks for the greeting.

I would love to go to some of the UK shindigs--but being that that would involved trans-Atlantic flights, I'm not sure I can afford to do so! But if I'm ever in the neighborhood, we'll have to see how many UK Browncoats we can get together.

Nope, they weren't mean. And no, not a drop of blood. But basically, it was just an exercise in futility. I ask questions requesting justifications for grandiose claims (e.g. "Everything in the universe is either physical or imaginary") and get nonsense in return (e.g. "Everything that exists is real and everything real exists") (well, I guess not nonsense per se, but definitely tautology, which is almost as bad). Basically, the deal was that I tried to engage in a philosophical discussion against an unarmed (but supremely confident) opponent, which is just never fun. In the future I'll stay here--posting photos and looking at the pretties.

And plotting world domination.

But as philosophers, if we are taught ologies, how could we ever discuss anything?

I'm always ready and willing to discuss, as long as time and work permits. (philosophers need work permits?) I promise not to be unarmed although occasionally I might bring a shiv to a nuke fight...

Oh, sorry, I got hopelessly confused. I was sure I'd recognised you from last year's Firefly con in London (as well as from our many fun encounters on the board!) I'd completely forgotten that you're not from around my parts, despite the not unsubtle clues in your sig! My brain's not working so well today!

On another subject, thanks PR for finding one of the few piccies of me that I really like! And I'm touched that you went to the effort of saving/ remembering it.
