assertions of descriptive beliefs

Working on this dissertation has turned into a knotty internal discourse, punctuated by meaningful procrastination devices (alright, sudoko is probably not an efficient use of time). Currently working on a definition of metaphor, for effective "operationalism" has become a sort of rabbit hole. Which, shouldn't be too shocking. but it is. WHat a drag. And to think that I would have rather been working on this, than my tossle with the flu last week. And the weather is soo beautiful! Rather be outside. Thinking about what sort of speech act metaphors are gives me a headache. Tore through a big bottle of ibuprophen in no time flat. Well, wanted to post after so much silence on this end. Getting ready for big crazy new york trip. metaphors still lurk. oy.
