Things I Read This Year
Keep in mind I’ve only been back to my regularly scheduled reading since May (when I finished Grad School and was no longer tied down by academic readings). Plus… I am a tragically slow reader… The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Pretty good, but I feel like I would have been more involved in reading it were I a parent. I am ever the sucker for post-apocalyptica, though. Faces and...

My Favorite Musics From 2008
1. Titus Andronicus - Airing Of Grievences: This just hit too close to home for me to not love this much. 2. The Death Set - Worldwide: How did this not end up on more (or any?) lists this year? Reminds me of The Buzzcocks which is one of the highest compliments I can probably pay. 3. Future Islands - Wave Like Home: Beautiful, sad, fun, heartbreaking, and you can dance to it. This is what...

– Adam Gopnik, Blows Against the Empire (via spaceships) (via unburyingthelead) I have been dwelling on this quote for days now, especially with what is going on in Gaza. It seems that no matter who is in charge anywhere, their answers are always the same.

tesslynch: itsbedtime: jimrock: I feel it is my unalienable right when staying at my parent’s houses to wait for them to go to bed, get completely trashed and eat stupid amounts of their food. It is my RIGHT goddamnit. They shouldn’t be eating all that junk food anyways, they are old after all. I’m basically doing them a favor when I come downstairs at midnight, giant screwdriver in hand,...

Yesterday while pondering subway entrances which have a step up before the steps leading down (in order to prevent flooding on very rainy days) I thought outloud, “Huh… You’ve got to get up to get down.” This morning my mom called to ask how I was getting home tomorrow. Told her I’d make a stop at work then head to the Port Authority. She wondered that it’s too...
