These days I have been worried by school. They want us to prove we've been thinking about the problems they proposition. Of course I don't believe any problem, and castles made of sand by philosophers are long forgotten and useless. But to be flooded by such minds is somewhat funny, since they have never for once looked at the face of things directly. They have asperger's, maybe. It is a funny place.
Kant by the way is a complete quack. As soon as you discover this, the better. And I'm talking about metaphysics, ethics — worse — he invented from his head.
Political science is pure evil personified, but such a game to play. Last class I had to become completelly John Cleese with those beings! I was one step from making silly walks, really!
Besides this, Lama Sherab and the holy dharma. So elucidative and clear, almost as reading from Rinpoche's mind, or maybe the notes she took. Bodhi-citta: compassion and wisdom. You must want to help, but you must also be very focused on the empty nature of it all. This double focus is the essence, or, as that genius Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche puts, the union of irreverence and elegance.
I also had a french quiz to answer. About some native-american indians and positivism, very clever read — new sociological studies confronted with past descriptions of events by positivist scholars. The teacher plays mindfuck with the subjects: you can't know what's written by knowing what it is about — or, even funnier, by having intellectual ideas about the texts. That's a good way to test you, I think. If you grasped it, that's enough.
Then I come home and desire only to talk to Fabinca and sleep. I've been trying to socialize more, although I still think most people just want to waste your time. Anyway, to be on a bus clears your thoughts the same way as shamata would.

Funniest mindless movie of the last few years. McLovin is the best, and the other guys grew on me.
In his job he needs to undervalue the suffering of others in order to make more money. Then there’s the smell, the ass and the eye. The degree of objectification of desire is in direct proportion to the self-debasement of the indulger. By degrading the other, he nullifies himself. The very indifference to the overjealous ones, the suppressed recalcitrant losers of the world, is what causes their victims to exist. Great disturbing movie.
A lost science fiction PBS movie with Taoist undertones is a real find, right? A guy discovers his dreams change reality—when he wakes up he finds himself in a world where the content of his dreams have actually happened. He of course gets scared after a couple of nightmares, seeks relief in drugs, and then, because of them, is lead to a psychiatrist. 
Here's for all the sissy Apple lovers out there... This is the ultimate design for my old Duron, which faithfully downloaded well over one terabyte (mostly movies, 1300+) always on 24/7/365 over the last four years. It also runs Apache and is a file and printer server, as well as a router for my home network (with four, also damn old and beautiful computers). Sometimes I dust it off with a vacuum cleaner.
I really enjoyed 
I have read the article on
In imdb a user commented: "Annoying little transition into some sort of regurgitated independent film values finds this shallow project from Brad Silberling offering little and providing less in this embarrassingly exploitive work." I agree, yet it is still watchable — even more so if you understand how clichê is the fabricated spontaneity in it. It is as if independent movie has aquired its own hollywood-like formulaicism. So it kind of becomes an interestingly consumated aesthetic portrail of so many cult-status fabricated stylishness examples we see around. Many people liked
