I’ve just finished my 2nd exam this semester. This one was in FIL2502 – Philosophy of the 19th Century. I wrote about Nietzsche, mainly Nietzsche, then a little about Peirce and why Nietzsche cannot be viewed as a pragmatist "under" Nehamas’ interpretation. I started like this: "In precisely two hours ago when I was sitting […]

Word of the day: Tit, n.
I’m learning English as best I can, and today while doing my daily philosophical investigations, I stumbled onto the word tit. This is what Oxford had to tell me: Tits are small, very active birds. They belong to the Paridae family, but include birds from other families, such as the penduline tit (Remizidae) and the […]
«Would you like a donut?»
I had a visit by the police this afternoon. Yup. I was sitting there enjoying my hand-rolled tobacco when all of a sudden there was a confident knock on the window. The guy looked serious, then showed his badge. "Would you open the door for us?" he said in a very unphilosophical manner. Shit, I […]
Scariest picture of the day: Julie Cox
Look at her eyes… look at her eyes… she looks alien. On LSD.. UAAAH! It was so scary I had to write it on the picture. And because IMDB denied hotlinking:) EDIT: The new furniture at work has been installed, but I’m the only one sitting here. Chat-log: Me: It’s got the “back to school” […]
Nietzsche – Beyond good and evil
Great book. Read it. Here’s my summary. Supposing that Truth is a woman what then? [insert perspectivism here] Supposing that Truth is a woman so what? No, but seriously, read it. If you are in any way like me, if you are any way like a free – VERY FREE – spirit, you’d […]

Shit. Did you ever think it possible? New Scientist Breaking News reports that the Swiss branch of Nestlé has patented a new kind of beverage to be known as Coffee Beer. The Coffee Beer is a "fermented coffee beverage" that pours and foams like beer, but smells of strong coffee and packs a concentrated caffeine […]
Nerdism
Heh, my brother asked me whether I considered myself a nerd. Short answer: No. In fashion I consider myself in good taste. In food and wine I consider myself a connosieur. In HTML I consider myself an expert. In games I consider myself an enthusiast. In music I consider myself experienced. In literature I consider […]
Minimalism vs. comfortablism
When I woke up this morning I felt like I was going to conquer the world. In fact, I’d been dreaming all night long about training underground mafia agents in Tae Kwon-Do, and that I was eating all this pasta… Don’t ask. So, besides the fact that I’ve been and am pretty goddamn pissed off […]
Guess who was robbed again?!
Last night was a good evening. A good friend of mine celebrated her birthday, and we went out and I tried to settle a score I have with the owners of this pub I use to go to, and everything seemed like another night out.. At about four in the morning I ventured home, tired […]
A dog named Lucky
I met a dog today. That’s right! His name was Lucky. Why? I asked his owner. He has a dog’s life, she said. He’s Lucky. Without plunging into the melancholic sides of existentialism, I greeted Lucky as a friend. He sniffed me twice and found me to be smelling just the way a friend should […]
