Mind-expanding
So I spent all of today at a friend's, drinking gin, watching Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood and marathons of that godawful Tila Tequila show and When Animals Attack, eating lots of good food. It was a pretty fun day; I was DD last night and so did my drinking today instead. I kind of preferred it that way.
So I'm relaxing tonight, re-reading Philip K. Dick's terrifying The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, and on page 71 of the Vintage TPB edition, where Roger Hnatt is experiencing his first evolved thoughts, I run smack dab into nothing less than a pretty good description of Spinoza's metaphysics in precis form. I think the last time I read this book I hadn't read Ethica yet; my shock was pretty monumental. My appreciation of the interweaving, though, is even bigger.
