I was going to talk about how I've enjoyed having half the house to myself, but I hear some sort of festival down the street. I hope its greek. I want greek food. Time to inspect!

I was just playing modernized warfare 2 last night and the host quit, and so it apparently made me the host.  Completely unknown to me, my brother was torrenting 10 movies and so I got this message:

stupid ass fucking bitch what the fuck is wrong with ur fucking internet dumb fuck get a job and get better internet bitch ur the fucking host cause u have the shitties internet dumb fuck

I always thought that pinging everybody during host migration would prefer the person with the highest bandwidth though?  It would be distinguished mentally-challenged if it actually chose the worst possible host to make it "fairer".

[fistfulofmetal]

There's a screener of Up in the Air and The Lovely Bones at ninjavideo! yay

[Madrun Badrun]

40mins into district 9.  This shit is lame.

That would have been a perfect opportunity to respond with "u mad?"

My leaner algebra instructor is about 50, with a giant grey Marx beard, a shaved head and wears a leather fanny pack.   

[Madrun Badrun]

Finally got my last grade in from last term.  85 in a compsci class.  It's not as bad as I feared but still 

[fistfulofmetal]

this is a dumb question. the droid had 3g internet access right?

[The Fake Shemp]

You mean has? Yeah, it has 3G access. And Wi-Fi.

[Madrun Badrun]

Chip or Malek did you ever use "Kant: A Guide For The Perplexed"?  Is it any good?  it's on my required reading list for my Kant class but I've never found these guides terrible useful.

[Barry Egan]

Nope.

[Flannel Boy]

Nope.

[Madrun Badrun]

Thanks.  I like how your both on a reply with in 10 mins 

[fistfulofmetal]

You mean has? Yeah, it has 3G access. And Wi-Fi.

yay!

[Eric P]

Nope.

we also would have accepted "Kant say I did"

[Madrun Badrun]

This Kant class looks scare.  30% of the mark is in participation and a presentation. 

[Barry Egan]

Hume-or.

Had some snow last night - about 2 inches, the most we've had so far. Today I've been chilling either on the computer or reading in my room for the most part. Just now though I was making a late lunch (oatmeal) when my roommate came into the kitchen and mentioned his mom was going to be coming over to pick him up. I said uh, ok. Then he mentioned there was snow outside in the driveway, and she might have trouble getting in so I should go shovel asap.

me: how many times have you shoveled this year again?
him: um well none, but i thought you did that
me: i've done it after each time it's snowed right
him: yea
me: how about you go shovel

He hasn't shoveled yet lol. I don't think I'm being an ass, I'm just tired of him walking around like the privileged guest of the house. I clean up the kitchen every day, and every day he leaves his pans and dishes out after cooking. I don't really complain because I like having a clean kitchen, and I like listening to the radio in peace while doing so.

I was going to talk about how I've enjoyed having half the house to myself, but I hear some sort of festival down the street. I hope its greek. I want greek food. Time to inspect!

I just realized the 'festival' I heard was just the Mexican worker's radio playing in the backyard while they worked on the pond.
 

[fistfulofmetal]

i received my Blade Runner 5 disc complete bluray.

[brawndolicious]

I just blew my nose so hard that my ear blew out and I felt light-headed, I nearly fell down and it was like the first time I got high, but horrible.

So I have an Amazon box lying around that can fit about 12 DVD sets. Anyone want to make an offer for Seasons 1-6 of The Simpsons, S1 of House, S1 of Lost, and S2-5 of The Shield? Where else could you get such variety?

A friend has my S5, actually. I've been meaning to get it back from him for a long while. I would be looking to get rid of that, too.

I got a haircut this morning. During the haircut, the 60 year-old female barber kept talking about the Wii. FML.

Haircuts are the worst.  All the stylists are super hot where I go and always want to talk.  It's horrible!  The last one when she found out I was a philo student suggested that I should become a song writer because they are kind of the same thing.  So I don't want them to talk to me but if they talk to another stylist then I feel inept and hurt.  Fuck getting your hair cut.

[The Fake Shemp]

[Madrun Badrun]

O ya the reason I came to post.  My Philosophy of Mind prof is smug, like smug emoticon smug, and came in fighting determinism pretty hard.  His solution to the mind body problem is to do away with the body and keep the mind.  A third of the class (three people) walked out half way though but that probably because he started talking about certain concepts with out giving the background to them, which I found rather nice.  He also picked his nose while he was talking.  Twice. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I know song writer == to philosopher wtf indeed!

Ya I know that not what the wtf is about

You miss quoted me btw.

He said the notion of the body wasn't particularly useful and should be done away with.  He gave some examples like talking about someones body is essentially talking about them or one wouldn't talk about the body of a hippo just the hippo.  Then he defined animals as conscious beings and proposed some overall metaphysics where there are two substances; everything is either an animal, a conscious being, or unconscious regular matter and it didn't makes sense so talk about the body of an animal with talking about the animal so the animal not the body is the true substance.  Therefor a particular thing is only ever made up of one substance which seemed to him to have solved the problem of a thing having two or more substances namely body and mind.  He followed this up by saying that when someone dies they become a different substance, as consciousness is no longer, and gave a 15 min talk about how this could work.  It's like he wants to give a form of monism where the body and mind are one but he still went on to make the distinction between conscious substance and the other.  I assume this is a set up for a strong freewill argument

forgot a "'s" on the "that"

Got my first grade from finals.  Got a 3.7 in my Agency & Partnership.  Woohoo.  Highest grade I've gotten in 3 years of law school  
My brother was in the same class and got a 2.7, he has a way higher GPA than me (he's top 15% of the class) so I get to gloat over him
