On Descartes mind and body problem:
'because we're talking about citrus fruits'
'but you wouldn't mix lemon juice with apple juice, i think'
I did enjoy the philosophy lectures ^^. but i must admit the style of lecture is an accquired taste. ^^. Some quirks like the above would come out and i just had to include them in my notes. ^^
i noted down the amount of people who would come to the lectures half way through the semester...it got to a low 9 at week nine...and then picked up to a 22 at week 12. ^^ though there is probably over a hundred actually enrolled in the course it was nice to have a quite lecture.
atually i really like the quote 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating' ^^...i would always imagine pudding and miss then next few words ^^. and 'through a glass darkly'..though i don't fully understand that one i quite like the image that would come to one's mind.
oh another. 'animals might make a mess in metaphysics' which i thought had an absolutely classic double meaning ^^
of course Descartes didn't always get off lightly talking about the mind and body 'it seems to display the crasiness of Descartes' ^^

I have been drinking water...i dont even feel like soft drinks...or food (O.o??) for some reason. So i have water. in the form of water. liquidy. i think its ridiculous you cant have solid water, i mean you can have solid peas, corn, staplers, earrings...yet water is lacking in that department...how sad. silly humans we should have called solid water solid water.

Weeds
I really enjoy walking through long weeds and so does puppy. Above is her in her 'trenches' weed grass place. She tends to bound along like an antelope. its really cute ^^
Here are some more weeds. They were really quite pretty and had a lot of variety before they were chopped.
Lillies yes...part of the weeds that are in puppy's trenches area. They are really kind of gutter ditches things that fill with water which she sometimes paddles and plays in.
Again another weed. close up is always most effective. There was another few weeds but i didn't get a good shot. I like the feeling of the tall weeds brushing against one's legs. its pretty cool, since it doesnt happen often. And now even though i'm far too old to jump in puddles, i get to wade through calf high water because of puppy ^^....there is also the down side- i've been through one pair of runners, one boots and two gumboots LOL ^^ right now i have ex-cadet boots of some sort that were on sale at aussie disposals for $20. They are still in tact for the moment LOL ^^...back to the essay on Phil.Monday, October 11, 2010
Pens

Do you ever get the feeling when reading papers you've written that some else wrote them? That the voice is either too amazing or too pathetic to be from your pen?...i just read an old essay and i used the word 'capricious'...i don't use the word capricious usually. such an odd feeling and i only wrote it a couple of weeks ago!
I'm almost finished my polar bear book and onto my remember book ^^. This is my new pen. pretty isn't it?

Be ware

This post is basically dedicated to my new phone. it makes me happy. i can take pictures on it and internet and games and agendas and stuff. here are some more photos. i won't upload all the rain ones from when i walked home in the downpoor...its actually way more fun than it sounds...cause i cant be bothered. what was embarrassing though was i walk through a shopping centre and the entire back part of my clothing was wet....><'...embarrassing...as you can see my wet runners which only became completely dry today and my otherwise blue jeans which are soaked.
btw if i havent asked for your number than your not important enough...lol...no...dw...i will when the situation makes it necessary to or just comment it...but considering one person reads my blog whose number i already have there isn't much point in saying this. LOL.

How promising....>.<'
These are pics of my books for this year...its really nice carrying one small book to every class. This is of course apart from the texts and readers ^^
I used this last semester its really cute, lots of different random pics

These books are easy to use...i initially wondered about how to tell the subjects apart and bought four books...then realised...there was no point.

I couldn't decide which pic to use. i like the focus on the remember and 'our precious days' with the desks but ...i liked the longer view of the desks as well.
Here are my other two. i like the dream one the best.. ^^ it has a polar bear on the cover.

I'm not joking. i think i've mentioned before the amount of timepieces i have in my room. well...this one is ticking backwards. its really cool!!! the second hand is going counter-clockwise LOL ^^...anyway i really want a pocket watch. they are interesting. wherever the picture is...i dont know what it is...perhaps a glue ball? O.o its on a hair-chopstick..or maybe a square pencil or maybe a real chopstick o.O...but behind it i know is my ruler!!! LOL ruler...as in measuring instrument LOL...-.- as i turn the pun over in my mind i just get sadder that i thought of it at all.

Life begins again
so i didnt get a transfer. i guess thats a good place to start. but i have a few subjects that i'm really quite interested in. which is new. i'm attempting to scratch the surface of pitman shorthand developed in 1830's. well...by pitman. Not for any reason ...i suppose it will be as useful as memorising the elements of the body in tenth grade...you know...i still have them infront of me on my desk; 65% oxygen, 15% carbon..et cetera. that eccentricity was sparked by none other than FMA. ^^
Lately i've been learning to read. read books. books. and stuff for uni. uni. since i started this year i've read 4 different translations of Genesis1-7. Every time i read it. it becomes more fantastical, more a myth or some cancelled fantasy-genre show than when i heard it as a kid. the history part...methusela begat whoever and lived for 969 years then died...is so painful i couldnt believe it. but i read the Silmarillion last semester so i can see the stem of generational history idea...pretty cool.
i've been watching more fantasy/sci-fi shows over the holidays; sanctuary, warehouse13, little of Dr. Who more of its spin-off torchwood, i still have five episodes of andromeda...but i dont know if i'll finish it. anyway torchwood took a kinda existentialist view of the afterlife...i dislike that idea completely. how can we live our lives believing that we stop existing? i have to say i like the idea of an afterlife...we could have a whole new journey way better than this one!!!^^

beatles atm. here's my eng. poem
To like this man was of the hardest task
His shunnéd softness held like iron fast.
Suspicion at the sight of amblers looms
Squalid, failing, inner voices he grooms.
For the habit of faeries was the ‘tweens
And selecting sad characters it seems.
Their frenzy rushed to the threshold with joy
As they noticed the wicked, wedgéd boy.
Too many words coursed from this sad being
None for faeries advertently squishing.
As they pokéd and prodded this poor lump
They jimmied then sought their queen in triumph.
Deftly stepped the furtive glancing Fae Queen
Allured her this mound, sobbing, shaking scene.
His tiny eyes for an instant transgressed
Across the queen on his eyeballs impressed.
The disgusting villain she desiréd
With unquenched filth to her arrivéd.
She falls in awe encircling the reproved
’waiting revelation which she accrued.
This fool-man more than an object sought
His old nature displaced by giving court.
Thwarted choices arose a deaf’ning call
Neither acknowledged nor bothered at all.
Blooming in his heart, budding in his hand
The rose-man reveres, worships, barely stands.
The toy arose a good man in conscience
The queen reacts with little pleasance.
Alive with confidence the queen resides
As for other lives, all must meet demise.
Cruel words of others she does mediate
In her own none come to deliberate.
His noble voice prevailed, white on the tongue
Only sweet words, fine words, kind words were sung.
Honest and vigorous the man became
The queen ailed to her chambers and to lame.
Banality of that man, the sad queen
Desired away from the congruent keen.
Well-good the man was, traverse he breadth
Sought by a bee, and by eye-sting his death.
His shunnéd softness held like iron fast.
Suspicion at the sight of amblers looms
Squalid, failing, inner voices he grooms.
For the habit of faeries was the ‘tweens
And selecting sad characters it seems.
Their frenzy rushed to the threshold with joy
As they noticed the wicked, wedgéd boy.

Faery, Fairy, Fae!!
Tell me i cant use this line in my english exam:
"Seemingly resplendent dresséd anew
His thoughts may've wandered to things not in view"
the words just came into my head...and i 'lol-ed' so i couldnt scrap it entirely. Now i put it here and remove it from my 35% weighted english exam ^^
forty lines; im doing it in heroic couplets; iambic pentameter; i find it amusing; ^^
i've finished the history exam. now for english. then theology. then philosophy. ^^

It's sad...but i rely on you to encourage me...
okay so i was talking to vivi...and i realised how weird my diet was:
Breakfast: two mini dimsims, a tub of yoghurt, a malay sweet, glass of ginger ale
snack: chocolate cake
Lunch: i forgot to eat
Dinner: will have soon, it is now (7:45)
constant snacks throughout the day: maruku...it took so long to figure the spelling...
what i used to eat during high school as i know some would express ...concern after what i ate during hours.
Breakfast (actually in the morning b/f school): cereal-if forced to, otherwise leftovers or toast or pasta...i like pasta
Lunch: after i met asian group my lunches varied from salads to rice to pasta(i like pasta) or two minute noodles , before i would not eat or have a sandwich...LOL
Dinner(about 5:30-6:00): curry/pasta, curry/rice, curry/breads, and sometimes veges and meat(not often)
optional 2nd Dinner/dessert: usually what was cooked for the night/when others were eating
we went out yesterday for thosais to palm court though they made the 'wrap' of the thosai reallly reallly welll like it was crispy and light and yummy, the masala wasnt good, lacked spice and i actually saw some white potato.
So...that is my food life which changes drastically from day to day but dinner is generally a constant ^^ i like dinners

I never really liked purple
i had some really lucid dreams today...it was kinda scary...but first.
a week ago i had a really scary dream. it was about pets...i had puppy and cassie and there was this new magical dog. okay so everything was peachy it was a good dream...then i felt uneasy about this dog for some reason after shutting puppy and cassie in a closed area. so i went out to check on them and this magical dog had eaten them and what was left was a brown version of that dog from pompeii...and same with cassie...and it was terrifying...like really scary BUT then i went and started patting this new magical dog like it was good AND only then did i realise what giant teeth it had and that it was purple...it gave off an evil aura yet i continued to pat it and smile...VERY scary dream. i have since decided it was a devil.
today i went for a nap after church and i had a dream as though i was awake. i dreamt i had gotten up and started tiding my room but then became more aware and realised i was still in bed. i cant remember anymore but...it was a very real dream. it was a pleasant dream...i like the feeling of waking up after a pleasant dream.
actually one of the cooler dreams ive had back when i was younger!...was part of my 'asylum dreams' series...okay so i had just escaped from an asylum and there was a whole bunch of us running through these suburban streets in broad daylight...luckily no one was about...so we branch off into smaller groups and keep running and then we are aware that there are like body-guard size men dressed in MIB fashion chasing us...[no we are not aliens, its just how they are dressed]...anyway obviously we dont want to be caught...so with my little group we veer off and jump over a pond and then a fence and then onto a small shed size thing and then climb a ladder onto the top of this massive airplane hanger...so everyone has dissappeared by now and so i look down off the hanger and see a giant crowd of people staring up containing the chasing people...and so our escape is thwarted...and im just like... ...figures/crap...

'you h-issed your m-istory lesson today'
Should we look into the past or into the future?
I guess if i used tarot cards i could do both right!
Actually i watched the first few episodes of Carnivale on tv. i found it quite good.
i keep staring at this photo frame Dong gave me. its so pretty. i haven't put a photo in it but...she wrote a message on the paper inside so...that's as good right!
my room contains tonnes of trinkets...utterly useless stuff...yet my room seems only cluttered with the useful things.
i think wearing hats limits my vision. so when i was a kid i hated wearing hats.
i also think listening to an ipod on the train is a very strange thing to do cause i can't hear what is around me. i read my book. i finished the narratives by C.S Lewis. really good!! thanks Voonie! i really liked the last one. im now reading The Silmarillion. its been a number of years since i've read something not on the reader apart from comics of course. which now, i still have quite a few unopened on my shelf...not for now i guess. im sure there'll be a time for it.
its 20 10 this year.
