I have the PhD and didn't bother buying the robes, so, er, so much for the cool outfit. Whoops!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

ION, I am just sitting here on my couch, and I'm sweating. I went out for a few hours and sought air conditioning but made the mistake of thinking it might have cooled off a bit and so came home. NSM.
(I totally want the cool robes.)
I have read some Sider: his essay, "Hell and Vagueness" was good, and his new introduction to philosophy, Riddles of Existence: A Guided Tour of Metaphysics seems, from what I have read of it, to be solid and clear. There's no doubt he's a good philosopher, although I've heard that he's kind of a tool. I hope he doesn't read this board. Anyway, it's just hearsay. But it's true.Hee. I knew him a little in college. He was a year ahead of me, but I was in Philosophy 101 with him. I was surprised he philosophized himself out of theism (maybe with "Hell and Vagueness" which I tried to read online, but was over my head).
Emily! Whoooot! Congratulations. I was mid-post when I left the computer to get Julia and Chris in their jammies.
Barak was your speaker!?! Man, that would make it all worth the lousy weather.
So, um Bob Bob, I'm taking note too. Do you want me to attach your name to my notes, or can I pillage at will?
Pillage at will, except for that bit on Ted Sider. And you might want to be wary about the morality v. ethics discussion, because, y'know, it's not really discussed, from what I've ever encountered.
Anyway, I've got to run now; time for wood-fired pizza with dad. I'm sure I'll be talking to at least one of you later tonight.

I was so waiting for you to comment.

Well, all right. But if you wanted to, you could have the cool outfit. With the stripes, and the nifty hat, and the much less stupid sleeves, and possibly the nifty colors! There were some very nifty-colored doctoral robes on stage today.
I'm sure I'll be talking to at least one of you later tonight.

First you get the PhD, then you get the womens, then you gets the money ...
Wait. I never get this right.
