I was struggling along with my essay, feeling okay but not great. I really like Heidegger but I don’t love him. So to see titles from Walter Kaufmann book Nietzsche, Heidegger and Buber: Discovering the mind such as

 

• The central point of my critique of Heidegger is to show how he impeded the discovery of the mind
• First thesis: Heidegger’s ‘existential ontology’ is dubious anthropology
• Second thesis: Heidegger’s thinking is deeply authoritarian
• Third thesis: Heidegger’s analysis of authenticity and inauthenticity is shallow and Manichaean
• Fourth thesis: Heidegger neither solved important problems nor opened them up for fruitful discussion; he covered them up

 
This in fact made me feel much better about writing as it reminded me I don’t have to agree or even like the philosopher. Although saying that I actually don’t mind Heidegger.

So essay is coming on, plans for a trip to see Phantom of the Opera soon, showing in Manchester for a limited time. Also discovered to my amazement that The Lion King Broadway musical is coming to Manchester at Christmas, you will probably see me camping outside the place waiting for the doors to open.

I hope if any of you got chance to read you enjoyed (in so far as you can) the post on why I became vegetarian. In the same vein, I am going through an obsession at the minute with Lush products now I am assuming that there may be more girls than boys with this (although maybe I am wrong) that know about that obsession that occurs over a certain brand. When you walk in the shop and feel like if you don’t buy everything you want you will never see it again. Then when you get home and use all your goodies you feel the need to tell yourself or others around you how pleased you are with your purchases, and how useful/great/bargain they were for you. Well I am having this at the moment with Lush. I love their products and I love going as a treat to myself or from Luke. My most recent additions was the Seaweed Face mask that I would highly recommend (check out the pic). The best by far however is the sea salt shampoo I got called BIG. It is amazing on my hair, and actually does what it says it will. First lather all the salt massages your head second lather and its like a white wig. Follow this with Veganese conditioner and it’s the first time in ages my hair felt really healthy and had quite a nice shine if I do say so myself. I dunno why I am talking so much about this stuff but its been a highlight for me of the last week :) plus I know for definite there is some Lush fans possibly reading this, and I think with Lush it’s a little bit of trial and error to find something that works for you. Thus my opinion may help :). Its also Vegan which is nice to know, sourced, made, tested, and sold without abuse or use of animals or any of their secondary produce, plus it smells gorgeous.

On a completely different note I had a Watchtower posted through my door, and sorry if its offensive to anyone but it massively cheered me up having a read through it. Aside from some of the absurd things it says, I think the pictures sometimes are ace. Check this one out, it’s a Christian or for those who don’t see it that way Jehovah’s Witness family. Because they are happy because they have God etc look how much is going on. Home grown food, tame wild rabbits that like to lounge next to humans. Not only do these guys have deer locally but they have Fawns eating out of pails of whatever food they have, Where is this?????? How is this happening? And where has that other family walked from? The lake?

Anyway guys this was pretty random :)

Peace
