arisbeAs some of you know, I was scheduled for a minor procedure yesterday afternoon. It was not successful, and something else will have to be done in an operating room presumably under general anaesthesia. Pain has been a major problem over the last twelve hours, though I haven't had a little white pill for about six, and may try to go back to sleep without one.
In other news, turning the living room upside down in the fruitless search for a notebook with some essential information, I turned up Deely's book on Poinsot and Peirce, which I evidently acquired at the Strand Annex in '02 and promptly forgot about.
It depresses me to think what our civilization lost when Poinsot's Cursi no longer formed the basis of teaching in philosophy and theology. I well recall how the name of John of St. Thomas, as the founder of postmodern semiology was known in religion, was despised in my undergraduate days, and not only by Methodist ministers teaching in Quaker colleges, for the decline of the Catholic university had already begun.
About what they will have to do with a tiny laser gun inside my body, I will say no more at this time. Especially as the lovely Raquel will not be involved.
