Well, it's been a while, again, since I wrote any stupid shit. There is a reason of course, though not a very good one, of course. Classes have started back up again, though I haven't had the need to study all that much. I do, but I've found that taking notes, then recording them in the form of questions and answers, and listening to them instead of audiobooks while in the car helps a lot. We have a 100 question test Monday, and I should have no problem. I had a test in the only other class today, and studied yesterday evening and this morning and did fine. Of course, it helps when the tests are multiple guess.

Other than that, I've been spending some time recording for Librivox.org. I noticed they didn't have Paine's Age of Reason, and since I've been reading it slowly (because I couldn't find an audio version at all) I knew it was easy reading. So I thought I would give it a shot. My monotone, mumbly speaking isn't the greatest, but it's completely voluntary, so beggars can't be choosy.

I've also been emailing my brother. Not that it keeps me from anything important, but it does take some time. I'm thinking of clearing it with him if I post the email exchange. I will post my emails to him, but I can't reasonably post his emails to me without his consent. So far it is uninteresting, but I'm hoping it picks up soon, or I will end the discourse, such as it is.

Because of all that, and school, I haven't had time to progress with my detailed reading of Mill's On Liberty. The longer I wait, the longer the list gets of books I might want to read after that.
