Friday Afternoon Confessional: World-Historical Proportions
I confess that I'm a little relieved that we've finally had our customary "snow storm of world-historical proportions" for this year, because I was starting to get a little bit freaked out by the extremely warm weather. I confess that I was thinking about heading down to CTS to put in a few hours of work, but it would probably take me 14 hours to get down there at this point.I confess that last night I watched the second and third Matrix movies, because we are supposed to discuss them in "Philosophical Thought" this week. I confess that I did not watch the first one because I think it's kind of dumb -- though I am in the minority, I will say that insofar as the Matrix trilogy is worth watching, it's only because of the second and third ones. The best being, of course, the second. I confess that this light-hearted activity is likely meant to give us time to study for our final, for which we just received our practice questions -- mine being, "Write a Deleuzian commentary on Plato's Timaeus, with particular focus on the chapter in What is Philosophy? entitled 'The Plane of Immanence.'" That sounds like a hard question to me.
I confess that I need to stop getting in pointless arguments.
I confess that this confessional is late.
