Whatever can't be cured with Irish coffee and Al Green mid-afternoon simply ain't worth fixing.
Evidently UCD is "a very queer campus." We shall see. But the queer kids I met were pretty delightful. And uh, scruff, scarf and labret piercing--am I really that predictable?

I was the only one in my Bergson seminar who'd heard of him.
But I was just about plum jumping out of my skin while the prof was talking. Bergson! Deleuze! Duration!
I am such a dork about this stuff. I accept it- embrace it even.
But I do not embrace the hierarchical pedagogy here, especially in such a small philosophy class. Ehm, why are we all lined up in these little rows facing the professor who is standing in front of the class? Especially when she's reasonably young and teaching us all this interesting shit? I mean one can establish authority without such rigid hierarchy. Right?

So yeah, kick the organ and bass and bright glare of mid-afternoon Dublin sunshine straight through me, while I trek home to read the intro to this 28€ Bergson book. I know I said jokingly that I was going to have to eat my books, but I'm actually getting a bit worried. Maybe I will not go out tonight, and save that precious dough dont je n'ai pas pour le nuit prochain. (Someone, please, help me with my French.) Yay.
