um I think I wrote a book report

I wonder if anyone has cited microsoft word as the cause of violence or self-harm in court. I got pretty close today. Between word and acrobat I was eyeing up the window in my office and my computer and declared that one of us had to go.

Part of the problem just might be that I am completely hung over. Monday night madness got totally out of control - arguing about Nietzsche until three in the morning. Nietzche is a little creepy. I know that hardly counts as an awesome critique of a philosopher but he seems to garner cult status in some circles.

Am reading this book Everything I know I learnt from television. It is written in a really annoying style and attempts to analyse popular tv in terms of philosophy. It is patchy at best. The section on friends is marred by an incredibly dull view of how gender intersects with sexuality ... Monica is masculine Chander is feminine ... everyone thinks Chandler is gay therefore he is feminine and vice versa ... hmm heard of Judith Butler Mr Pop philosophy guy? The most annoying section is on sex in the city. He does a pretty good analysis of this in terms of a Giddens' like theory of intimacy but because Mr G is not an actual philosopher (gasp) but a lowly social theorist, the author Rowlands does not see fit to name the originator of his analysis unlike the other chapters we he talks about his main men Schopenhauer and Sartre like their his homies (homeys?) ... literally ...

On a brighter note Pamuk's novel snow is fantastic.


In other news I have got a piano so really do I need this blogging shit?
