bertrand russell is awesome

i must say that i've never read a commentary on the history of philosophy that has been as entertaining as bertrand russell's. i picked up the book just last week at the secondhand bookstore next door... and for $15, it was a great buy.

Nature and Nature's laws hid by night
God said "Let Newton be," and all was light

i've been devouring it page by page since i picked it up a few days ago. decided to take a break from my thesis and work on my social theory essay and presentation.

so the parents are coming this weekend. which should be interesting. we might need to do a bit of spring cleaning. *coughcough* just a bit.

i am looking forward to seeing them though. it's been awhile. would love to catch up with my mom over coffee. miss her heaps and heaps. hopefully i'll be able to find the time. this weekend is so packed.
