But I Like Nancy
FOUND by Jeff Sharman in Seattle, Washington
I found this index card in a used book I picked up at Value Village.

She seems to like the town...and jean-luc

"I don't (dis)like the French"? After reading Nancy, are they now indifferent? Maybe this was Bern's transformation.

Celeste, is Bern in Cleveland by any chance? She sounds like a Bernadette I know, who is friends with a Celeste.

Presumably Celeste has some French blood so
Bern is half-insulting her by suggesting that he doesn't like the French. He's a jerk.

Jonathan, in somniac philosophizing,
'I don't (dis)like' is a very weaselly phrase when you think about it.
Good luck to Bern, though.
'Like Heidegger, Nancy interprets Kant’s freedom as an unconditional causality; freedom is that of a subject who, before it can make a decision to be free, forgets that it is always already thrown into existence.' (Wikipedia)
Ouch! My brain hurts! Can I go back to reading Adorno please? (nooo... only joking)

What bothers me most is that if you take the independent clause out, he repeats himself: "I just had to say that...that I am transformed." Okay for speech, but not the best choice in a note that tries for condescension.
