wow, a return to the blog! i'm finishing my nietzsche paper today, hopefully by 7:30 or 9. nietzsche went insane but he's a captivating bastard. i have a cold. this is the little thing i wrote about it:
I have the beginning of a cold and I know who gave it to me. The wide ache between my temples spreading funnelwise from my throat is a little sweet from the surprise of being wanted.
And it’s not my fault. I had no intention.
It's referring to last saturday when I finally went out to some campus parties to see if i could get some fun dancing on, and did funwise with dan finkel for awhile. and then ross ran into me at olde club, totally initiated by him, and started completely getting down with me. it was all rather surreal. the other bit i wrote about it:
I'm so pleased with the surrealness
Of groping each other
After months have passed.
Podoba mi sie.
Your hands have a delicacy
That keeps them to themselves.
Even when they're not.
And so they undo one web of memory and it has to reweave its strands of interests. Damn spiders.

I went and talked to ol' richard eldridge today. mostly me thinking too hard about what i'm thinking. i like him though. he's got spring and an awake face. he said he has avoided really seriously considering nieztsche, kierkegaard, and heidegger, out of the hunch that they would pull him too far away from himself. he said they're too much of iconoclasts for him. i'm looking forward to hearing student music tonight and going to the yale house party. shall i get back to this paper? i'm very pleased with the opening paragraph (and I have a real thesis!). i just noticed the graphic they put on the cover of genealogy of morals--a tree with a person for its shadow. that would be an interesting way to rephrase some of the stuff i already wrote about the philosopher-tree ideal. i think the show at olde club this sunday is going to be really good. colds make my appetite so weird. i've been drinking lots of tea with honey and eating too many cookies.
