random entry/thanks and stuff

Okay, first of all, THANKS so much for the nomination this month at lost_fic_awards. I just spent then minutes jawdropping this morning, I'm totally honored to be in there. *blushes*

So today I've half procrastinated and half actually studying and while I guess I accomplished something on the Kant side of the fence, one thing I surely accomplished is that Nick Cave is not good studying music, especially not Murder Ballads since not only it doesn't do relaxing background (but I'm masochistic on that and I knew it) I ended up with at least one not exactly fluffy plot bunny and maybe another one. The fact that when it wasn't Cave it was Nirvana didn't surely help either.

[ps: for lenina20, you'll probably be glad because one was sort of Desmond/Claire. Though nothing that implies killing anyone since I had switched record by then and so if it works it'll probably be angsting all the way]

Then, uhm, the Real Locke -> incoherent. Can you write a treatise of seven hundred pages and contradict yourself every thirty? Well, possibly one can. Maybe he's not too different from the other Locke these days. *sigh* And I still have that Hume paper to finish. At least he was coherent, much so.

And then I read the news and guess it won't make sense to anyone who doesn't follow our internal disgraces (which means every non Italian on my FL ;) ), but I'm starting to wonder how much it's going to take for a very, serious infective disease to spread all through Naples and surroundings. Because summer is coming here, but seems like no one has actually understood that when you have all that trash out in the open diseases do usually spread. *sigh* Then I closed the newspaper because it was getting depressing.

By the way, has anyone ever seen a sort of demented sitcom I caught on TV the other day where the guy that on Lost plays Bernard plays the father of the actress that played Nikki? Because well, that was an experience I don't want to repeat ever again.

I have to read Locke for not one, but two of my classes, so I feel your pain. I had to study Hume, way back in my other career, but at least I felt he made sense, unlike Kant. I can't believe we haven't had a Kant-like character in Lost so far.

We need to find better studying music.

Congratulations on the nominations!

God we do.

You on the hating Locke ship too? Well at least I'm not alone. I actually kinda like Hume because at least he makes sense. And Kant is the next exam I have to do and now that's a joy *sigh*

That's kind of shocking that there wasn't any Kant or Marx (Karl maybe..?) or Hegel up to now. Do they lack on the German side of the matter? What's with that? I mean, they dig out Carlyle and Bentham of everyone, they don't have those? *shakes head*

I think German philosophers are too scary for even crazy Lost writers to handle. As for Marx, well, we had Karl, but I doubt they were talking about Karl Marx ... or were they? Karl who was in love with Rousseau's daughter, eh, that'd make for some crazy philosopher RPS fic.

We still have two seasons to go. I'd be seriously disappointed if they didn't include a Kant or Immanuel character. They've covered so many Englightenent philosophers than to skip Kant would be a gross oversight.

Good luck with your Kant exam. He still gives me headaches, but I passed that class.

Thanks! It's in a week but I'm actually not too behind with that and at least it's not the worst part of Kant they could find.

That's probably true and the Karl/Rousseau's daughter business? That'd be excellent philosophers RPS indeed, even if way scary. And I'm waiting for the Immanuel to turn up, too. Hey, maybe it's the economist. If the economist is German and doesn't even have a philosophy name I'd be way disappointed.
