"What do you do?"
"I'm a technical writer."
"Do you write other stuff?"
"A bit, sometimes."
"Poetry?"
"No Poetry." I laugh.
"Fiction?"
"Yeah, Some."
"Do you read philosophy too?"
"A bit."
"Oh, good! Materalist or Idealist?"
"Materialist."
"Who do you read?"
"I'm a bit of an unreformed Deluzian."
"Deleuze wasn't a materialist."
"Yeah, but he wanted to be. Really bad."
"There's that. I've been reading Hegel recently."
"Oh, really."
