wolven7 | What just happened?

Last weekend, my mom was in town, and we spent some time hanging out and talking. She saw the bakery/cheese job, and we got lunch/dinner at Five Guys, and talked about the past and the future.

This week, i wrote two very different things for two very different-- and yet thematically intimately connected-- projects. One, a piece for the impending relaunch of David Forbes' excellent blog, The Breaking Time, deals in eschatological immanence (an old favourite) and the weight of attention.

The next, the script/proposal for my piece in Foolish People's upcoming ArtWork, The Museum of Virulent Experience, deals in the immediacy of the nature of change, in observation, and the contagion of perception.

(See how those are kind of the same things? But they are Very different instances, each, I promise you.)

Taught Kant and JS Mill for four hours, yesterday, which was pure gold, except by the end of Mill, the students had kind of a glazed-over look. I couldn't tell if it was the material, or the brute fact of a four-hour class on ethical theory taking its toll.

Then we went out, last night, for

lord_of_smoking's birthday, and that became a much more epic night than anticipated. We were out at Lauren's until 8, this morning. No sleep, lots of conversations, surprise guests. Bob had a great time, so he said, and so my mission for the evening was accomplished.

Woke up from a nap at around 5.15pm, to find that my post on Hypersigils referenced on The Wild Hunt (and thanks to

moonandserpent for the heads-up).

That's... that's a pretty hardcore week.
