Writing Group Update

Heh. I have an essay that’s now more than a week overdue. I’d like to turn the kind of thing I write anyway into an essay for critique, but there’s something missing from it, which I would very much like to discover, but have not yet. Until I’ve found it, I don’t know that I [...]

Meta-lunacy

This afternoon I came up with a mildly impractical plan to get everything done that needs to be done this coming week; I made up a schedule and colored it in with crayons. I sat down to read Kant’s Prologomena so that I could write on it, and successfully read the first ten pages or [...]
