the people at the bookstore i love moronically replaced the literature section with a massive mathematics and physics section. they also have a ridiculous display of alan watts books in the window. people are funny.

i’m still reading “anti-semite and jew” by sartre alongside a short intellectual biography of him, soon i will show you some other books i picked up yesterday including two works of ortega the lively. skirting reading being and nothingness for obvious reasons.

saw a dog sleeping in the window of red pegasus, got some earrings and books from balfour; i am continually inspired by iris murdoch who loved sartre; my grandmother was also named iris (née ewing) she wasn’t a writer but she felt a longing for paris (there’s a story)

Oxford students after exams, 1989.

sartre’s ideas about resolution are good.

i think i’m going to go to the used bookstore on college (balfour books) in a bit
