"I insult you"
So I picked up a copy of J.L. Austin's "How To Do Things With Words" with a B&N gift card yesterday, and I'm already about halfway through it. Shame on me for not paying more attention to so-called "analytic" philosophy than I have been (so far the only other ones I've really paid much attention to have been Russell, Wittgenstein, Strawson, Searle, Kripke, Rawls, a little bit of Dreyfus, and uh Whitehead if he counts [I think he does]). Although, uh, Austin seems to be one of those people who appeals all the way across the spectrum, and I'll probably end up abusing him in ways that none of these dudes would approve of.

I'm also making no headway at all on the goddamned Contributions.

Oh, and I'm going to have to amend my initial judgment of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It takes a hard left turn in the middle of the second episode and has really become a completely different series (kind of a suspense thriller deal), although it's still very very good.
