I'm not the best at keeping up with reading material either, but depending on the book I might be up for this.
Anyone feel like cracking open Georgescu-Roegen's "The Entropy Law and the Economic Process"? I read it in college, but I think I'd do a tad better at really grokking it these days. It's not exactly philosophy, I'll admit, but I bet it has both implications for today's economy *AND* some possibly dated or misguided stuff we can rail against. Just a thought.
I'll be a maybe. Since getting a philosophy degree, I've ended up on a trajectory where fantasy football is much more my speed. I'm also trying to get through Infinite Jest and then the rest of Stephenson's Baroque cycle, which may carry me through to retirement.
.. except that my winning entry is gross enough that I only shared it with Kristin because I was afraid she'd throw up if she found it without warning.
There is a service called freeconference.com where we can set up and schedule a group telephone call, for free as in beer. Well, okay, participants have to pay their own long-distance charges; you don't get a toll-free number to call in to. If someone (eaton?) Skyped into it and recorded it -- assuming that's possible? -- would that work?
I'll be happy to schedule the call, if someone gives me a date and time and if those who are interested reply to me with the appropriate email addresses to which an invitation should be sent.
Anyone else can also sign up with that website for free and do the same, of course.
I'm a dawg, muthafucka.
This is rawdog's way of making working from home seem more like being at the office.
Just like chicken, hur hur. I'm sure it'd work about the same--it's not the most sophisticated mélange of flavors, but its fairly tasty.
I wonder how this would taste with pork chops instead of chicken...
I think we'll have to try this.
You know, the Eskimo have over 600 words for this.
Thank you, I'll need it!
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, to hear the lamentation of their women, and to steal their yarn and cigarettes.
Guess that shows how topsy-turvy the division really is... I'm in third place, with more points than either 1st place team. LAME.
I'd never read that piece. Interesting.
"Put Lily on the diaper changing pad", not "change her diaper on the lily pad!"
Having reached a new low in inattentive parenting, Ron glanced nervously about as he approached the lily pad, hoping no one would notice.
Tell me about it. I'm liking IJ a lot, but it's clear that a lot is falling through the cracks on a first read.
I almost wanted to read Quicksilver a second time before going on to the next, too.
without electroboy. I'm in too.
Way to pick huge books that are only really good on the second reading :)
I'd be happy to read that suggestion.
So far we'd have:
- bitterpants
- verb
- squorch
- mandax
- wurd?
If everyone's in I'm game to go ahead!

I actually have a couple philosophy books I've been meaning to read/wrap my head around... I'd be in.

Talkative = drunk.
9-10 PM Eastern works well for me. And on Thursdays during rugby season I might be drunk, which may or may not be a bonus.
