This morning it's so pleasant outside that one wonders if yesterday was just a grim vision of fragile humanity cowering before the malevolent elements amidst twisted, disfigured umbrella-wreckage.
My agenda- if i'm ever able to drag myself from the dept. common room with its broken coffee machine and blissful free wireless internet- is as follows.
1) Walk to the corner of Gordon Square and Euston Road. Turn right and stagger, grimacing from the inevitable nerve damage occurring due to the heaviest satchel on God's green earth, past Friends House and St. Pancras Church and the trendy restaurant with the pickled veg. in the window and Unsworths Bookshop and Pizza Express and then cross over to the British Library.
2) Try to get to grips with predicate deduction for Monday night's lecture. Read 'The Right to Privacy' by J.J. Thomson for Wednesday's seminar. Start work on Scheffler's "Boundaries and Allegiances" for supervision essay.
3) Walk outside to the courtyard for a late lunch involving: 2 pieces of bread with hummous, 1 braeburn apple, one packet of cheese & onion crisps.
4) Return and contine 2) until 4:30. Get the tube at Kings Cross/St. Pancras and head back to Shepherd's Bush and Morrisons for groceries.
If Alban was still here my agenda would be as follows.
1) Catch the 94 from Shepherd's Bush through Notting Hill Gate to Kensington Gardens.
2) Play frisbee all day.

Frisbee sounds much better! It's too bad Alban isn't there. :)
Evan, Did J.J. Thomson have something to do with developing the theory of the atom? His name sounds familiar to me. Thanks for chronicling your day.
Actually, I was reading Judith Jarvis T. who's wide interests do not extend to the atom to my knowledge!
I didn't know that J J Thompson wrote about the right to privacy. I'll have to check it out.
you're still eating better than I am, but May 20 may bring change.
Glad to hear prospects are looking up! 'The Right to Privacy' is available in full-text at jstor.org, also, see 'Thomson on Privacy' by Thomas Scanlon.
