Alex and the Experience Machine

Alex is six years old. Like many six year olds, he is into dinosaurs, Spiderman, Harry Potter and chocolate. Unlike most six year olds, he is also into e-mail, nanopublishing ("Jen, let's make a book!" he says to me, every time we meet. If he said, "Jen, let's catalogue a book!" it would be even more perfect), the Liar's Paradox, the philosophy of language and, most recently, numbers. See, Alex's parents are philosophy professors and often talk about work at the dinner table. As a result, Alex often thinks and acts more like a second-year philosophy undergraduate than a first grader.

The other night, his parents were discussing Nozick's Experience Machine, because, seriously, if you're a philosophy professor married to another philosophy professor, what else are you going to talk about at dinner? Anyway, from what I understand, the interesting question about the Experience Machine is, "Should we plug into it?" See, if you hooked yourself up to the Experience Machine, it would give you the illusion of having any experience you could possibly desire - and you wouldn't have to do anything! Just sit there and accumulate those experiences. It's a slacker's dream come true. I'd be all, "Sign me up, and let me experience a Frappuccino while I'm at it".

But Alex wasn't so sure. He couldn't articulate why, exactly, but intuitively, this Experience Machine thing didn't sound right to him. His parents played hard-ball with him: "But Alex, the Experience Machine could give you any experience you could possibly want. You could fly! You could jump over tall buildings! You could go back in time and visit the dinosaurs!"

Alex was skeptical. Finally, he said, "I know an experience it wouldn't let me have."

"What's that, sweetie?"

"I bet it wouldn't let me walk on numbers."

Alex one, Nozick zero.

Kitten Thanksgiving

I'm in Georgetown for Thanksgiving this weekend. I brought the boys - they seemed to have such a good time at the cottage last week and they are such good travellers. As I write, they are racing up and down the stairs. They have never seen stairs before, and these stairs are carpeted in the same material that is on their scratching post, so they are just in their element. My mother has had to move the potted plants and the dried flowers into the garage after the kittens "discovered" them. I think by the end of the weekend, the only thing that will be left in the house will be the light fixtures, because they are just into everything.

Under the weather

Winter storm. Snow, then freezing rain. Downed trees, downed power lines, car accidents right left and centre, the mayor says stay home don't go to work or school, in like a lion out like a lamb bla bla bla bla.

I disobeyed the mayor and went to work. It took maybe 30 minutes longer than usual, once I got to the subway. Not too bad.

Last night while the storm raged, I cleaned up cat puke. This is Marmalade's new thing - puking. The second time in two weeks. I think he's gobbling his food like a greedy boy and making himself sick, or maybe this new, slightly cheaper and easier-to-obtain (Sobey's is such a hike in the cold) cat food doesn't agree with him. It comes up partially digested or almost completely undigested. Yes, news you need to know. He's sleeping now. He seems a little quieter since the puking. Usually he's running amok but right now he's sleeping. I hope he's not brewing up some dire illness or injury that's going to cost me another $200 trip to the emergency vet. I won't begrudge the expense but I was just getting on top of my finances - no more debt, building up a nice little nest egg...Le sigh...

I break stuff

Our suite in the soulless office park has a hallway that connects the front and back parts of the building. At one end of the hall sits a mysterious, 1985-ish computer terminal with orange letters on a black, eighty-character-by-twenty-four-line screen. The screen is always on, flashing cryptic messages and symbols. So I was running through the hallway, frustrated by a high-tech copier and late for a meeting, when my right leg hit the terminal. Hard. “Hmm,” thinks me. “Is this computer important? Someone told me why it’s always on. Why was that again? Eh, whatever. I’m late.” Shortly thereafter, my co-workers began complaining that they could no longer make outgoing phone calls. Then I remembered—the hallway computer controls soulless office park telecommunications. Soon after this incident, I blew up a database. And then this morning my hairdryer exploded in a shower of blue sparks. To minimize the impact of this destructive phase and to make sure no one sees my horrible, naturally-dried hair, I plan to keep a low profile for the next few days. This means no blogging, lest I crash the Internet.

Spring has sprung, and young women's thoughts turn away from weblogs

Unlike some Philadelphia curmudgeons, I welcome the arrival of spring with open arms (and fewer weblog entries). Baseball season begins in a few weeks, as does the Philadelphia Film Festival. Friend Type E has promised to give me tennis lessons, and my rollerblades are ready to hit Kelly Drive. Saturday marked the first day of reading on the deck and sitting outside at the local coffee shop*, and soon it will be time to haul a picnic, a blanket, a Frisbee, and a stack of magazines over to the Azalea garden. Soon after that, I can start to harass the produce guy at Reading Terminal Market. Good Grief! has never affected my social life, but I’d be lying if I said it hasn’t impacted my quality of life. Last week, as I made colcannon for Superwoman’s annual Irish dinner,** I glanced at the spice rack and realized that it’s been a damn long time since I cooked a real meal. And then I thought about the stacks of unread books that collect dust as I sit at the laptop. Not to mention the dark circles around my eyes, a recycle bin full of unread Economists, and a shower full of soap scum. Not all of the above is weblog-related, of course. However, because this site isn’t strictly a journal or other stream-of-consciousness format and because I’m a compulsive editor, almost everything I write here has been revised about five times, even the shortest entries. Add time for getting links and clipart and for reading and commenting on everyone else’s sites, and the whole “blogging” hobby starts to eat up some serious hours. Though I love writing and love how weblogs can unite people with common interests, the time has come to lay off the Internet a bit (just a bit!) to better enjoy the business of real life. Because real life is pretty damn sweet right now. *The coffee shop, located across the street from Eastern State Penitentiary, is called Mugshots. Get it? **Featuring many wonderful dishes, the best of which is bread pudding with a caramel whiskey sauce. OMFG, as they say.
