Updates on my day!

This is a list of things done so far. I will continue to edit it as the do goes on!
1) Drank whole pot of coffee
2) Ran dishwasher
3) Ran one load of laundry
4) Called old friend I caught contributing to NPR who voted for Bush last time
5) Sent of application to John Dewey Society
6) Eating Amy's Organic Burrito for a late brunch
-Still no booze consumed. Yet.

Updates!
Well, much has happened sorta since my last post so much so that an all together new post will be started very soon....
7)Went and picked up ordered copies of Richard Hofstadter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life and a Richard M. Nixon biography by Elizabeth Drew.
8)Went by comic book store and picked up some choice stuff. But I will not go into that here.
9)Went and had lunch with roommate. Hole in the wall Mexican place. Excellent if not a bit scary.
10) Watched an episode of Little Britain. Brilliant.
11) Ran another load of laundry.
12)Had coffee with very good friend. Was approached by roving news team to comment on brutal and apparently senseless beating of cute local news anchor (you might have heard of it even in NYC). Since I was playing hooky this was not a good idea. Can't be caught by boss on evening news when I am supposed to laid up. Had green tea. it was just ok.
13) Returned home and read comic books. Awesome. Batman should fight vampires more often.
14) Started reading some Rorty. Listened to The Meeting Places & Bjork ("Post" was a great record). And then it struck me... My thesis topic! Tentative titles include, "Overcoming Rorty's Overcoming of Dewey," "Two Dewey's: The Inadequacy of Rorty's Response," or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept Experimental and Naturalistic Metaphysics." Well, the last one is obviously not an actual candidate but the rest of them are not that great. Oh well...
