I am intrigued. xxxxx Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:33:48 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1564#c3714 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1564#c3714 Comment from [Abbi : http://wherethewildthingsare14.wordpress.com/] --- :love: Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:53:39 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1564#c3713 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1564#c3713 Comment from [matthew] --- (Y) (simples) Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:17:28 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1559#c3712 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1559#c3712 Comment from [Tasha] --- You are mirroring dad's feelings today TO THE NAIL!!!! could not agree more with above comment!

Glad to hear there was a reason, though, and not just that you're becoming as scatter-brained as some of us :o) Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:39:40 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1555#c3709 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1555#c3709 Comment from [Red Dalek] --- Because I wrote it inbetween 'getting back from the library' and 'going to hall' which resulted in a mad rush... apologies! Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:58:45 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1555#c3708 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1555#c3708 Comment from [Sanna : www.pickledapple.blogspot.com] --- You seem distracted. Why do I feel like this post says a sum total of precisely nothing? :? Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:55:19 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3678 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3678 Comment from [Saoirse ] --- That's Wiki magic for you! Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:47:13 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3677 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3677 Comment from [Red Dalek] --- Exhibitionist and philosopher, Diogenes is said to have eaten in the marketplace, urinated on some people who insulted him, defecated in the theatre, and pointed at people with his middle finger. Sympathizers considered him a devotee of reason and an exemplar of honesty. I love Wikipedia's commitment to fair and balanced reporting :P Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:16:25 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3676 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3676 Comment from [Saoirse] --- My favourite of the Greek Philosophers! (I think of them as being like a boy-band) at the moment is Diogenes. Socrates gone mad. Apparently, he wanted everyone to be like dogs, which is a bit ergh, as is the whole matter of what he did in a theatre, but still pretty cool. Devoted, certainly. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 21:45:59 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3675 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3675 Comment from [Red Dalek] --- Tash - they would have had nicknames! 'Plato' just means 'broad' and his real name was something like Aristocles - doesn't sound so good now, does it? :P Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:35:05 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3674 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3674 Comment from [Matthew] --- I get the impression that I'm not going to be allowed to forget that my body has a brain..^o) I feel almost compelled to get you drunk enough to be unable to lie on the floor without holding on for dear life. Then in the morning we could consider if its your brain or your body that hurts. ;-) P.s I have one or two movies which i would very much like you to see xx Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:14:53 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3673 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1535#c3673 Comment from [Tasha] --- Those three would never have been taken seriously anyway, with their funny names. Not to say Socrates is a standard name. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:37:37 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1533#c3672 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1533#c3672 Comment from [Alexander Trafford : http://alexander.io] --- It's probably best not to write jokes which combine both philosophy and HTML… I don't know Dom, I'd say they're going pretty well so far! Oh and pish posh, metaphysics *can* be interesting…at least until someone invokes God :roll: Funnily enough, my Grand Plan for Future Reading Endeavours™ features almost entirely the same line up as yours. I currently have an ever-growing stack of Very Short Introductions to read. In a similar vain, Penguin 'Great Ideas' are also wonderful, although not strictly comparable in some ways. But yes. Lots of reading. I feel somewhat saddened but the idea of not being able to read on trains (although I do imagine you enjoying much more pretty scenery - or people-watching in TfL circumstances - than I'd usually manage). Same with cars, I assume? You could always try audiobooks - I can't say I like them for everything, but they can be dreadfully useful with certain things. Oh, I'd say get a job at the Guardian reviewing books until you've satiated your short-term desire for reading, then graduate to a Wikipedia administrator whilst you finish off a longer-term list. Or maybe that's just based on a desire for web-based power… Wed, 13 Jan 2010 00:20:38 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1531#c3671 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1531#c3671 Comment from [Jason Budd] --- Wow Dom. This is about the first time I've looked at your blog for about a year. First things first, the summary of your year was very helpful! It seems like you're living the good life :D So are you in your last year now? How are your parents after that attack??? Whats new pussycat (and all that jazz) Leave me a comment on facebook or Something :D Sun, 10 Jan 2010 07:44:58 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1531#c3670 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1531#c3670 Comment from [Saoirse] --- I look kind of angsty. In reality, that was a whole lot of fun. Oh, and the final verdict on Dominic vs. Dominic: The Spongebob Challenge is that the Fagan wins. So yeah. Might not tell DF himself that, though. :P Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:19:27 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1531#c3669 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1531#c3669 Comment from [Sanna] --- We're looking pretty fun-loving and innocent these days, Dom. What happened to the sullen angst? :ph34r: (I'm stealing these for my blog, btw.) xx Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:29:40 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1512#c3665 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1512#c3665 Comment from [Andy.] --- dinner party host extraordinaire Andy I like this description. A lot. Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:36:30 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1512#c3664 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1512#c3664 Comment from [Helen] --- hey, made it into the year's review - result! Thanks for not mentioning our rather abrupt exit!!...and thanks for your influence with the powers that be for Patrick's promotion! Sounds like a fab year, Dom...here's hoping 2010 is just as good for you, indeed better what with finals etc. xx helen Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:53:22 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1513#c3663 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1513#c3663 Comment from [Saoirse] --- So? (Oryx and Crake, definitely, as well as Year of the Flood, but since I just finished that this morning, I might be a little biased. I'd say I'll lend it to you! but I think I've already lent it out (although to whom I do not know) and also, you have access to the Super Library King of Libraries.) And unreal? Not really. I've always loved the thought processes of her characters. *shrugs* Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:47:18 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1512#c3662 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1512#c3662 Comment from [Tash] --- Just to clarify for all... 'I fulfilled my central aim in life by visiting a cheese factory' - is not just an exaggerated turn of phrase. He genuinely dreamt of that moment for about a decade. Mon, 28 Dec 2009 20:42:41 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1513#c3661 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1513#c3661 Comment from [Helen] --- Robert! Jakov! Hurrah! Love the purple hat- can't say I've ever seen a hat suit you more. I have those pans...er...what was in that one? Tennant as Hamlet any consolation (boxing day - also with Patrick)? Anyone else find Atwood oddly 'unreal'? As in her characters never seem to me to be proper people, just to inhabit some world curiously divorced from mine where everything is clipped and sort-of considered. Dom, thanks for another year of great blogging. Many highlights - be good to see what you pick. best wishes for 2010 to all who drink at this heady trough. Bit early I know, but I may not be sane, sensible or sober for much longer xx Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:58:35 +0000 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1513#c3660 http://dominicself.co.uk/blog/?itemid=1513#c3660 Comment from [Red Dalek] --- You're absolutely right, but my pre-prepared answer (that I thought of at the time) is that Paradox (the show) isn't really about real paradoxes either :P (What's your favourite? I probably won't get around to it for a while - with my limited reading I need to branch out! - but I'll add it to the long-term mental list.) Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:51:47 +0000
