High temp today, here: 27. Dewpoint then: 16. High dewpoint: 18.
High temp today in TO: 29. Dewpoint then: 16. High dewpoint: 20.
I sat out on the balcony for a while today and I was cold, dagnabbit. I had to go back in for a sweater.
Maybe Josh Towers isn't so sad after all. He threw his ninth consecutive quality start, and fifteenth of the year, today. (But lost.)
Read some more Discipline and Punish. Tough slogging. The trouble is, I don't particularly care about the details ... or maybe I should say, I don't generally care about the details, since some of the particulars--well, quite a few of the particulars--are at least amusing. It isn't all downhill from the opening dismemberment of Damiens. But I really wish he would be more clear about just where it's all going and what it all means, philosophically. (The first time I read Foucault, HS1 back in third year at Queen's, I was wondering for a long time just where all these theses that people attribute to Foucault (well, the theses that I'd heard Prado attributing to Foucault) were. But they're much more programmatically laid out there than they are in D&P, at least in the early going. Actually, they're so much more clearly laid out in HS1 that wonder what my problem was. But I'm always wondering what my problem was.)
Along the same lines, I've noticed, this time, certain things repeating, sections starting again, reminding me of me writing a paper, starting again again and again, and then I've got all these overlapping pieces to put together--in what order?
