Philosophy Slam
Still philosophizing after all these years.

Oh, yeah, the Super Bowl. That.
Is it bad that my single, one and only point of reference for this game (which, as you may have gathered, I am not watching) is the old SNL "DA Bears" skit? It's the only way I remember one of the teams that's playing. Up until today, I'd been forgetting, but now I've got it mastered that the other team is the Colts. I think.
I guess I'm pulling for the Bears? That was a pretty funny skit, after all. Surely that's as good a reason as any.
I even know that the Bears are from Chicago! (SNL again) Colts, uh . . . they're from somewhere, I feel sure.
Not a single non-priestly male was at Evensong tonight, go figure, except for a two year old. I sat in front of our resident bad soprano, because if there's someone who can't carry a tune, I will-- in some cosmically foreordained way-- end up sitting near this person. I'm no singer, but I can at least sorta carry a tune. But I always end up next to, in front of, or behind the person who's going to butcher every note in the treble clef, which then throws me off. I think this particular one thinks she can sing, too, because she rolls all her Rs and ends the hymns "a-MAHN." During the chant portions, I wanted to forget all of the actual meaning of the service, turn around, and tell her to at least stick somewhere near G or close the order of service. Sounds like I'm due for a good long think regarding where my brain should be.
I think I just might be distractable.
So, in conclusion: Knock, knock.
Who's there?
ADD kid.
ADD kid who?
Hey, wanna ride bikes?!?
This has been your pointless and non-PC post of the evening. Now lettest thou thy servent depart in peace.
PS: In the ongoing Topamax saga (because I know you're fascinated by my meds), I went off of it completely (on my own; no doctors involved, because I make smart uninformed decisions like that) because I was so sick of the fluffy-brain syndrome. WHAM, massive migraines of long duration and tremendous sensitivity, with nausea to an extent I've never had before. So I'm back on the blessed-cursed stuff. We'll see how long it takes for me to A) get a migraine (and see how bad it is); to B) have people start telling me that they can't understand me when I speak; and C) to see when thinking turns into an option instead of a necessity.
All of this, and I STILL don't get the loss of appetite side effect. NO FAIR!
Pascal: The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.
