May 2012
Those of you that actually know me won’t be surprised by this, but my minor bouts with rain man syndrome amuse me endlessly, so I want to share this tidbit.
I’m obsessed with Japanese DJ Masashi Osaku and his podcasts. I currently have #42 on repeat. Lush, throbbing beats that are both deep and light somehow. Such a great example of how beautiful prog-house can be in the right hands.
But...

My roommate and your Internet buddy Enjoli has been hospitalized since Wednesday the 25th with a combination pneumonia/infection from an abscess (I’ll let her share the gnarly details with you). As of last night she’s doing better, regaining her strength, having opinions about everything but she’s not at 100%. We’re hoping they’ll discharge her Tuesday, but it will be awhile before...

I’ve noticed an uptick over the past couple weeks/months of parrying all criticism with the riposte “Troll.” It’s apparently pretty effective because no one wants to have to defend their case. All dissent is not equivalent to race mongering on Twitter because a hockey player has the temerity to be black. Think white exceptionalism degrades the quality of journalism...

I am one of the ~2,000 people that will be jobless because of this high stakes poker game being played by people who view us as “human resources.” The terrible thing is that I actually loved working here. Most associates are smart, hard-working people that have a genuine passion for law, and to see one of the biggest and best firms go down in flames like this because of a few greedy...

The Year Of The Boomerang
thecallus:
Just on a deeply philosophical level, I’m in the camp that the world is a cyclical place. It is an article of faith of mine, I suppose - after a brief period as a history student I never really escaped the sense that humanity has a certain fascination for its past. Hold on to your leather jackets and your pamphlets; it all comes back into fashion eventually.
The election this year...

The bear falling out of the tree pic is funny in and of itself. It requires no explanation, and no “witty” banter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lexapro update, day 3: My new wonder drug was really put to the test today (I won’t tl;dr you to death with the gory details, suffice it to say that sometimes helping a dying best friend can be more trouble than it’s worth).
