The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Damn, awesome idea.

Actual recommendations:
* drink more coffee / get a coffee maker
* get more exercise

I find that these can improve motivation a good deal - especially the first since I'm usually too lazy to do the second

wha? It's coming to Chicago, dunno where else.

Ok, I didn't see that mentioned anywhere on the website. I was wondering why you had posted it.

Leaving work soon to walk/run for an hour before meeting a friend for dinner.

Wondering what the fuck I'm doing awake at 3 AM.

Typing out my brilliant thoughts for my thesis. I actually think I'll finally be able to get somewhere with this thing. For a long time I was just reading book after book and article after article because every single thing I'd read would raise some new issue that I felt like I needed to deal with. This resulted in my reading a fuckload of books this semester. I haven't kept track how many, but I know it's a lot. But now I feel relief because I feel like I can stop reading right now and start writing. And I'm actually coming up with decent ideas.

Boozin' it up!. I just walked over to my dads so could get money to buy cigs and booze. I'm pretty sure walking down church street is execution. I just wanna push limits. I want to take an expensive sports car and drive it until it's out of gas. That's when I'd really be fuct.

Drinkin some beer, listening to some Illdisposed and reading about "Despised Icon" which is breaking up as a band and calling the quits.

I was ecstatic when I finally figured out what to write my undergraduate thesis on. It took me three fucking semesters. I'm a nervous wreck about coming up with something for grad school though; I'm considering pursuing the same line of thought that I did in my undergraduate thesis.

Funny post but no that not me.

Listening to an itunes playlist of the exact same setlist from the Opeth concert last night....

 

[Belligerent]

"Despised Icon" which is breaking up as a band and calling the quits.

about time


About to throw some massive pork chops on the grill, also just picked up a Sam Adams "Summer Seasonal" variety pack. Curious to see how their IPA is.

So eat it now. White Castle can sit out for like, two weeks before it starts to get chewy.

 

[st3333phani3333]

I'm about to make some chocolate pudding and chocolate milk. I wonder if it'd be easy on my sore throat, because I know Doritos and Monster won't be. I didn't eat all day yesterday and most of today. I'm starving.

Doyle Bramhall II is the shit. His methods for finding new ideas are inspiring in and of themselves. Not to mention his songwriting, which is intense and multidimensional.

Trying to find pictures on the internet representative of my life before Japan that I can use for my self intro lesson for the new first years. Hard to find recent ones where A) I look ok and B) there is not beer/cigarettes in there.

Well, you can't leave us hanging, what is it about?

I'm working on some political philosophy stuff. Basically I'm trying to determine whether the view of libertarian rights presented in Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State and Utopia can be defended even if we reject his moral "foundation". He holds what can be described as a natural rights view deriving from the views of John Locke. There are a lot of problems with this view. But you don't have to justify libertarian rights in a way that leads to all these ridiculous problems. So first I define what libertarian freedom and libertarian rights are and show that the view is coherent and defend it against a bunch of objections. Then I examine an alternative way of thinking about how rights are justified. My influence here comes from T.M. Scanlon's work. It's kind of funny because Scanlon is a liberal and I'm using some of his views to defend libertarianism. Then finally I show how libertarian rights and libertarian freedom satisfy the moral requirements I discuss. This will be the most enjoyable part for me because I get to involve a lot of political economy, public choice, and welfare economics literature, and I love that stuff. Also, I'm only focusing on the area of distributive justice. There's no way I could give a broader discussion in a mere thesis.

edit: and I might give it a provocative title. Perhaps "Monetary Theory or my pals?"
