Someone tell me if I need this.
I don’t have cable. What I have is a $50 off craigslist TV + converterbox and antenna. I watch a lot of netflix. This is a good option for me, Yes?
Whether it’s a good option will depend on the kind of network partnerships that Apple secures, and if you ever plan on buying a Blu-Ray player (many of which have Netflix functionality built-in).
Your copy of Coming & Crying will be hardcover, 168 pages, containing 24 stories by 24 people, sent directly from a box in Melissa’s apartment and carried in a series of bins by Meaghan and Melissa to the general post office in Manhattan, where a woman named Estelle Lee will release it — that’s the word — to you. It will come in a white envelope.

This is the craziest studio in the Western world right now!” — Justin Vernon of Bon Iver in this interview with Pitchfork about collaborating with Kanye West

It is repeatedly said that 64% of the people, after listening to the political demagogues, don’t want the mosque to be built. What would we do if 75% of the people insist that no more Catholic churches be built in New York City? The point being is that majorities can become oppressors of minority rights as well as individual dictators. Statistics of support is irrelevant when it comes to the purpose of government in a free society—protecting liberty.
The outcry over the building of the mosque, near ground zero, implies that Islam alone was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. According to those who are condemning the building of the mosque, the nineteen suicide terrorists on 9/11 spoke for all Muslims.

Playing with Hajime at Azumino Family Chapel
Yeah, I kind of have that effect on kids.
Classes start again today for me. I only have one class today, and that’s Major British Writers II with Caitlin.

My last.fm is going to be humiliating this week.
