I went to this place last night in San Francisco...

It's not as scary as it looks. I'm not sure if they're serious about the dead squirrel thing. Was actually fairly upscale, but lots of good industrial/EBM/goth music.

Just realized I only have two more days till I have to fly back to visit family. Which means I may not have quite as much time to relax as I thought this break.

I've been thinking more and more about trying to start a career in philosophy, but I'm not sure how. I'm reading "Wittgenstein's Poker" right now, which has me drooling over it and getting excited. I really like philosophy, and just have tons and tons to write on it. It's so tempting to think that all these different perspectives I read about could be unified into a single theory--similar to the way physics progresses. My only problem is I have way too much reading to catch up on if I really wanted to be well-versed enough in the subject to say anything relevant. We'll see.
