I was going to start logging time spent on housework, home maintenance, and house and home maintenance related errands, so as to prove that my colleagues whose wives do all of these things have an advantage. Now I think I will log this time in the hope that it will cause me to do more … More Logbook
Here is the ficha de inscripción for the 2012 festival de cine de Lima, which is August 3-11. It would be fun go to this festival, but fares are high and routes inconvenient; it is actually easier and hardly more expensive to go to Argentina or Chile. Flights to Mexico and Guatemala are fully half … More Festival de Lima. A very amusing post
Nietzche did not get tenure, it is said, due to the committee’s disinterest in The Birth of Tragedy, his tenure book; he never got another academic job. Now it appears that Taine failed the agrégation. From the Johns Hopkins Guide: Although he was clearly the outstanding student of his class, he failed his final examination … More Hippolyte Taine
I am of course also an aggregator of just a few Italian songs. It has come to me that of persons from the past about whom I know nothing, Monteverdi might be fun to meet. I am guessing we could speak in some form of Romance, and go out to hear raucous music. It is, … More Claudio, ancora
My understanding is this: with narcissism the core problem is that no solid identity actually formed inside of the person.

I’ve never been to the Creole plantation Laura, and really should go for research purposes if not for more reasons. I believe this will be my New Year’s resolution for 2012. Axé.

How I will do this: On busy days, like Monday, January 9, or every Tuesday and Thursday, I will get up 1/2 hour earlier and do research and writing in that time. On other days I will … More On Writing Every Day
Round trip from Maringouin is 122 miles, and a total of 3 hours driving time. In my car, on those roads, that is about 4 gallons of gasoline, at about $4 each, for a total of $16 plus cost of maintaining the car and so on, so let us call this $25 plus time. Lunch … More Cost of a trip to the state prison
In my favorite jobs it has been possible to do research and writing during the day, on weekdays. That is when I have worked the least and gotten the most done. Most jobs I have had have had me in workshops, meetings, student activities, and classes 9-5, when not 8-5 or 11-8, so I have … More Research during the day, weekdays
“It led to a forgetting. Of self, of work, of relationship to self and work and others.” Read the whole post. Actually it is quite common to be told to do as one is told, because if one does not follow instructions precisely, one will fall off a cliff. Of course it is only sometimes … More A most interesting post from Moria. On strategy
