midnight philosophy after sleeping like five hours last night, let's Do This

So code name Phil and I were talking DnD after being and knowing today, and not to be a Massive nerd, but my current character is largely inspired by cartesian doubt; I'm trying to poke at idealism in context René never ever meant. Or show me the metaphysics of arcadia, man, let me at the wyrd, let's see how this place is held up, what can it tell me and how can I carry out my intentions under its terms!!! 
anyway, so the last few lectures in epistemology have been on the Gettier cases, and I was having fun trying to decide how my char would possibly integrate JTBs and this shenanigans into their cognitive structure

also, unrelated to the above, a list of good things recently, bc I'm not About being down: 

• the campus farmer's market has a stall that sells these really awesome chicken adobo bao, and another stall that has great ginger-hibiscus iced tea, so even though I've got about six straight hours of class, thursdays always get a fun lunch
  • they don't call them bao but it's bao, I know what I'm seeing
• also today sister brought me a dang good taro boba from a new place, hella
  • am I food-motivated? probably, sure, you bet
• the latest scene in my vaguely serious YJ and JR fic is looking decent; I'll keep giving it side-eye for a bit, but it's certainly looking better than I thought it would run
• came to Opinions on Camus
  • tl;dr: for a guy who hated nihilism, I feel very strongly about him the same way I do for Nietzsche
• got good paper topic feedback from a handful of grad classmates, even from code name cousin, who spent an hour drawing bauhaus rectangles in ms paint and surfacing with great comments out of nowhere, it was really funny
• went and got vietnamese food with the grad classmates, took the scenic route back to campus to skip traffic and ended up looking right down at the ocean while everyone tried not to spill pho and drinks on each other, three of us crammed in the back, while also all contributing percussion to our driver's preferred techno/electronica, all with the sunset rolling in over the water and spilling through the windows
  • was not late to seminar, despite it all
• went to the apothecary downtown and got stuff for a new tea
  • I will say the first try has not been evenly balanced, I did not expect the viburnum to be so distinctive lol
• just got walk through such a beautiful day
• Soon, Easter
