The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[skeptik]

I'm reading that this semester for my Honors course. How is it?

It's an interesting anomaly in Plato's dialogues, actually, pretty interesting when taken within the context of the greater canon of his work. It's actually told by Apollodorus, a student of Socrates, to a friend, who relates the story of a symposium held in the honor of Agathon, so the story is in the past. Very little of the actual story seems to be of much serious philosophical importance, actually, aside from Socrates' speech. It's fairly laid back and casual, which gave Plato a lot of room to emphasize his own literary prowess, and for that I find it to be a very interesting read. The party is discussing 'Love' and exactly what it is, so it touches very heavily on the relationships that wiser men had with aspiring adolescent boys and the virtues of this form of love.

i just woke up because i got back from work at 5 in the morning. Last night was very interesting. I got hit on by a 6'4 black drugdealer and he gave me a $40 tip. He's actually very nice though

Sounds interesting. I had a lecture/reading/discussion on the pre-Socratics this week and I'm anxious to get into the post-Socratic realms.

Being anti-social until I head out into harsh reality where there is a big arts festival going on

I am trying to be more awake for my friend's bachelor party this evening. I will probably leave early to come home and sleep like an old man.

I worked for 15 minutes.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

What is that, like, 3 bucks? \m/

 

[skeptik]

It actually comes out to $200 an hour, because I get paid monthly, $200, and I usually work about an hour a week, with comes out to $50 an hour. So...divided by 4 = $200 an hour.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

...what?!

 

[Vossyrus]

im bored, there is nothing to fucking do

I feel the same way...I'm bored, just getting over being sick, have no one to talk to, and am generally feeling pretty apathetic and lazy today.

 

[cookiecutter]
