ee-raa-no

Lord on a plate, I'm completely knackered now. I ran 6 miles earlier, on a treadmill machine admittedly, but that still counts surely. Finding it hard to concentrate at the moment in fact, as apart from my having eaten a big curry and drunk wine, am half-watching The Daily Show, where one of those ones that go out and about were in Sweden pointing out the evils of free healthcare, education, prosperity and economic surpluses. He had a nice moment with the man from Abba where he pointed out in respect of 'Money money money' that he had "created a model that 50 cent was able to follow".
Anyway if I'm going to do this blog properly I can't just comment on TV programmes. Or can I...?

I've been trying to understand something of the philosophy of argumentation today (let's call it Argumentation, that looks better - in fact there's a journal called Argumentation), as it sort of might maybe play a fairly large part in how I'm doing analysis for my PhD. It's a big scary area anyway, proper philosophy always is when you get into the nitty gritty, but I reckon they're just showing off to be honest. Yeah, all of you, showing off. On that sort of theme, and also speaking of Sweden's evil socialist system, I was reading about Engels too today, and whilst I knew neither him nor the other one were exactly proper Kim Jong Il 1984 types I was ignorant of the fact that he was a full-blown aristocrat, lobster-sucking, champagne soaked, unrepentant whore-using, mill owner. Chuh! - you think you know someone.

Well got to check wording of wedding invites now. It's a complicated business.

  1. I liked the bit in the daily show when they were in the Swedish pop star's flat doing a 'MTV cribs' style thing and she mentioned the spare bed was for her mother-in-law and they put Ludacris' Area Codes on in the background. Cos it was good.
