debauched out
I had a weekend of biologists & powerpoint. They seem to mix well. And my overarching analysis of the weekend: I'm simply not good at being youthful.
Reading "The Doors of Perception" -- all about Aldous Huxley's mescalin use, and apparently an influential enough book for a band called "The Doors." So, the book is cute in that 1900s pop-psychology way (human nature is evil, patient sample size = 3). But what is uncanny is the resemblance to Huxley's drug experience and descriptions of religious experiences. So, the two possible conclusions are:
1. Religion is a myth of the mind, inducible by drugs.
or 2. The mind opens up with drug use. Either way, highly discouraging.
The bigshot at SNL basically admitted to regular lip synching on SNL. He blamed the big dance numbers these days. And can you blame him? Have you ever heard Ms. Aguilera sing AND dance? Not so attractive, on both counts.
And, after an evening of 'housewives' and 'denny crane,' it was bedtime. I am all sores as a result of playing tennis with a 60-year-old professor. Again, highly discouraging.
