Morgoth Bauglir: A day in the life of a Dark Lord

Peter James, Bitch!

Okay, so it's been a while since my last post. Part of that has been due to just the usual exigencies of life, namely owing to the fact that for the past week, we have had a houseguest, in the form of Sheena, Trevor's girlfriend. That was neat, but it meant that it was a bit more crowded than usual. Then there was also the fact that with Sheena came one of Jeff's friends from Oregon. In short, everybody was around all the time. Net result: very little privacy.
In other news, I had something of an epiphany on Friday, which was most appreciated. It occurred while I was taking a shower, oddly enough. For this reason, I have been considering converting my bathroom into an office, seeing as that's where I seem to do my best thinking. Basically, I've begun doing some work on a different approach to epistemology, blending evidentialism, foundationalism, coherentism, and just a smidge of warrant/proper function into a practical epistemic toolkit. Questions? Comments? Let me know and I'll send you more. Z has already heard some of the ideas, and he seemed to like them.
More news: yesterday I took the GRE's. Sweet zombie Jesus, but they make you go through draconian measures just to take that test. I shit you not, you are allowed more objects on an airplane than you are in the testing room. I understand the reasoning behind it all, but that doesn't mean I don't find it mildly annoying. I took the test, and felt pretty good about it. We'll see how the final written portion came out. Woo.
Even more news: Last night, Ryan invited Trev and I over to his parents' place for dinner. It was nice. This morning, he flew out to the bustling metropolis of Ottowa (long story). His flight was at 6 AM, and he needed a ride, so he and I basically pulled an all-nighter at his pad and then went out to the airport. We watched Red vs. Blue, played Metal Slug 4, and drank caffeinated beverages. We then left. I am now responsible for his two ferrets, Oracle and Prophet. This will be interesting. Meanwhile, my parents come into town on Saturday, so bollocks for that. They're dropping my little sister off at Whitworth. This is going to be real strange for me, as it will be the first fall in four years that I have not gone to school. It's taking some getting used to. Hopefully, the job interview that I had on Thursday will pan out. At this point, I hardly know what is what anymore. Reputedly, I'm a pretty smart guy, but I can't seem to find much validation of that fact these days. But enough about that. I can't think of anything else that is pertinent at the moment, so I shall sign off for now.
