Leroy's Before 2:05 a.m.

Not much happened here, but it did happen tonight, so at least this is the most recent news there is.

I slept a good bit after work today, kinda pissed off about little things, you know how the little things can get you in that "I'm-Just-Going-To-Bed" mood. So I did the dishes and went to bed. I woke up at 10-ish played that awsome computer game Bejeweled 2, got 3rd on the high scores board (finally!) and drove to Leroy's.

Natalie was working tonight. I wrote 13 more pages in Highway 9. I wrote about an arguement I had with Doc Nicholson (my high school principle). Started to go in depth with the Product vs. Process Theory. It's not very well articulated, but this is just a plot-driven first draft. Details of concepts are just side notes in the margins at this point. The next conversation I'm going to include will be about the "Uses" of education. I read about the "Uses" of a broom today in David Foster Wallaces The Broom of the System, and have since been obsessing with the idea. BRIEFLY: Which is fundimentally more important? The broom stick? Or the bristles? If you want to sweep the floor, The Bristles are fundemental. If you want to break out windows with the broom, The Stick is fundemental. It all depends on what you want to use the broom for. My spin on this concept is: What do you want to use an education for? To sweep the floor, or break windows? Fundementalism as applied meaning. Applied meaning as a Use.

HUMPTY FRUMP!

Peace and Love,
Mungo
