Dr. Nick Smith (my philosophy prof)
I'm tired and want to go to bed.
Classes today were ok, I suppose. Comm was annoying and we had a quiz, but I already knew that. Philosophy was actually pretty fun. Collin and I tend to sit more or less next to each other near the front of the room and spend as much of the period arguing with each other as the prof will allow. As a result of this, I've been taking the Theist perspective throughout the unit and have probably throughly confued the class. It's no fun to really explore an issue without someone else to find holes in your logic, and Collin was doing pretty well with atheism, so it seemed like the natural choice. I'm not really decided, but I can find arguments for both sides.
Then there was a choir potluck at the director's house. That was fun. I made stir fry. Everyone said that they liked it. It's pretty easy to make, especially when I make Jessica do the hard part of peeling all the shrimp. Jessica and I are getting along startlingly well these days. If I weren't going to have a single next year, she's who I'd want for a roommate. After the potluck, I took her out to another dinner in the trail room, and then we went to Fred Meyer's to price kitchen stuff. We have a theory that it might be cheaper to buy such things here and take them with us if we have space in the car. I then stopped by my house to grab otter pops and a few baby name books, and we headed back to campus. One of Jesse's friends was babysitting a little 2 year old named Alex, so we fussed at her for a while. Then Io and Jesse's friend got absorbed in the name books, with Jessica assisting. Alex got absorbed into an otter pop, and parts of the otter pop likely got absorbed into the furniture.
Jessica and I then decided to grab blankets and go sit on the lawn for a bit. We talked about a lot of different stuff, and finally decided to go rent The last Unicorn. I love that movie. She likes it too. We had to go to 3 video stores to find a copy that wasn't checked out. It was worth it.
Then we decided to stop by Castle, since she wanted to see what it was like. I think it really upset her. She's from a small highly Christian town, and I think her idea of what they'd sell in a an "adult superstore" didn't quite match up with reality. It doesn't really bother me. I feel a little uncomfortable in there just because I know that I'm not likely to buy anything, so I'm basically just wasting their time. One of those "claiming to be someone I'm not" things. They actually had a fairly neat long fishnet dress, but it was $25 bucks and I couldn't justify it. Bah. I'm trying not to buy any more silly clothes, I have enough silly clothes already. I already own a fishnet sweater, a fishnet vest and a longish fishnet shirt. That should pretty well take care of my fishnet needs, considering I can't really wear the stuff on a daily basis anyway. It tends to catch on things. I might be able to make a really cool choir outfit with a long fishnet dress though. If I can come up with something specific that I'm reasonably sure I'd actually wear, I might go back and buy it.
I had a bunch of insightful stuff to say tonight, tying together a minor concept from the God section of my philosophy course to some stuff in my recent personal life, but I'm too tired to do it justice tonight. If it still seems worth writing about when I'm not tired, I may make the attempt.
