I want to kick Socrates in the head.
No, really, I do. We've been reading Plato in Philosophy, Apology and Meno in particular. I'm telling you, I would have sentenced Socrates to death just to shut him up. What he says is interesting, but I think it's hard to keep sight of that in the way in which it is said. You almost lose sight of the point in the language surrounding it.
It's funny, though, that Plato doesn't bother, only Socrates. But in these dialogs, Socrates is Plato. And Plato becomes Socrates. It's very confusing.
Anyway. Olive and I went and saw Jersey Girl today. Really cute movie. Funny and sad and sweet. And very real. Fun times were had. Olive thinks I should start my own production company and then write, direct, and produce movies. Which would be way cool.
Right now I'm watching last night's Angel. Really enjoying it so far. Adam Baldwin is so terrificly cool. And very, very tall. Only five episodes left. Waah!
