High today in KW: 29. Dewpoint then: 17. High dewpoint: 20.
High today, here: 31. Dewpoint then: 17. High dewpoint: 20.
My main observation about this year's World Cup: there are way more English flags around Toronto than there ever have been before. Secondarily: the German hordes in K-W don't fly flags. There are by far and away more Portuguese and English than German flags. There are even more Brazilian and Italian than German flags. It's not like the Germans are more assimilated; I hear German every now and then in the supermarket. (But then, that's probably mostly Mennonites of some variety or other.) I guess the Germans have had it beaten into them that it's bad to be German. (Kitchener was, after all, Berlin, once, and then, pointedly, not.) Funny thing being that Nazis are a lot more likely to fly a St. George's Cross than a German tricolour.
Ghosts, well, yeah, definitely my least favourite later Ibsen so far. But the irony, oh, the irony--this guy does do the irony. And now, on to C.G. Prado, Searle and Foucault on Truth, after which I will--or so I plan--finally e-mail Prado and ask him if he can send me another copy of the "Glossary of Heideggerian Terms", possibly composed by Richard Rorty, source of the following double dactyl:
Higgledy-piggledy
Wily Jacques Derrida
Hints that the Seinsfrage shouldn't be pressed
Only a chauvinist
Ichthyphallologist
Asks whether being is more than a text
