Well well well! Interesting weekend.
Had a very nice time with my parents in Farmville. Their new house is super nice it is hard to believe. Hopefully I should have some pictures of it on the internet soon. Cause it is this wild huge barn that has been renovated and turned into a wild nice house.
Apparently it was custom built by some people and then they split really fast and told it cheap. I had all these funny imaginings about why they could have possibly left this nice house so quickly. Probably some family emergency. But I had also considered that maybe it was aliens, or werewolves, or monsters, or something silly and fantastic like that. OMG I HOPE MY PARENTS DON'T GET EATEN BY MONSTERS. Lol, that would never happen, but I got a kick out of how my mind took me to those ideas.
All in all, looks like my parents are going to be able to have a very sound and comfortable retirement in Farmville. It was a good trip, I'll miss them. Felt a bit sad, but life is full speed ahead right now. This is movement. This is action. This is change. This is no longer childhood.
The trip was nice, I got some stuff done to take care of my car, which I will be selling later this week. Then on Saturday I'll be flying out west to California, and then onward to Seattle.
While I was there I read an essay by Hayden White called 'History, Historicism, and the Figurative Imagination'. For a long time I had read these essays by White and just couldn't get what he was trying to do. Finally I feel like I am beginning to understand. I think I now get what a 'tropological theory of discourse' would be, and what it would do. In fact, I have a post planned where I can explore these ideas.
In other post news, I am still working on my 'Society's Implicit War' posts, and I am also working on a post on the relationship between simulation theory of mind and tacit mental theory. Anyways, all is well. Better than that even. Things are full speed ahead.
Over and out.
