In the theater, Inception kind of bored the crap out of me.  I did not like it.  But apparently I can read people discussing it for DAYS.  So, basically: the opposite of that quote.

Amir debunks 10 day forecasts →
davidcho: My only qualm with his analysis is that he used the images to gauge whether or not the precipitation forecast was accurate or not. That is some real n00b ish, everyone knows you have to use the percentages to get a more accurate account of whether it’s going to rain or not. That being said, this weather thing shows two underrated Amir personality traits: 1) he’s really into the...

slushpilehell: With foggy dreams about the graceful future and with beautiful butterflies tangling within my tummy, I write this query email. Sorry, I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Welcome to my heart.

booyahgrandma: So I’m staying in a 6 bed mixed dorm. All my roommates were gone when I got there but judging by their stuff, it is 5 super slobby non-American guys. Do you think I will make a bad first impression if I’m sitting in bed reading The Diary of Anne Frank in my pajamas when they get in? Do you? Sigh.  This makes me miss things.  Like the horrible hostels James and I stayed in when...

I have two kinds of kohlrabi pickles doing their thing in the fridge. Hopefully the water and vinegar I poured in to top off one jar won’t fuck anything up too bad. I cooked up this week’s broccoli and about half of my kale. And then ate almost all of that. I mean, technically healthy, I’m sure, but. Earlier today, headed to the museum, Tanner and I walked across the park in...

Coetzee's Nobel "Lecture" →
josephbuck: I am posting this mostly for Jaime. As I mentioned to her at one point, I had the pleasure of talking to Coetzee in the mid 90’s at some point. On the phone, he was more quiet, thin, and measured in his words than anyone I had spoken with in my life. It was like talking to a piece of thread. I would not expect him to be otherwise.  I haven’t read all of his books, but all...
