Whenever I go to lunch break I always make a point to get a newspaper. It helps keep me informed of current events and helps the day go by a lot faster. Just takin' in knowledge of the outside world that'll give you perspective.
Fuck, sometimes a dude even looks at his horoscope.
I even pick up the weekly papers. Seattle Weekly is this shitty far left newspaper I'll read just to get an idea of dudes with those sort of leanings.
How about you, G-Stizzles?
Where do you gather your news from? What sites/blogs/papahs or whatever?
I must know.

i read CNN's website as my primary up-to-date international news source
Also you guys.
At the moment all I read at work is our local Sydney online paper - www.smh.com.au. The opinion section and some of the blogs are an interesting read, particularly this one.
anytime i can find it i'll read The Stranger
man, love that The Stranger
i'll check out the business section and shit to check out how the economic crisis is goin'
Ugh, why the Sun? I don't even care about the bias, the quality of writing is just so poor.
But I'm not particularly a big news reader
it is so lame but if I don't look, I might miss some important information!
I read my horoscope for the week, at the end of said week
Just to see if any of it was right
I read The Independant and The Sun. I'll check the BBC website and Digitalspy. I tend to watch the ITV evening news. I'll also check the Daily mail to see who they are pissed off at this month, this month it is the BBC.
and constantly reminds me that i have a lot of work to do every time
fuck being a leo
I read it at lunch and spend the rest of my day with my eyes open so I can act accordingly
someone I know always complains about money problems eventually and now I have some warning
Keeps telling me to get laid basically
Mine always tells me that my relationships with people are either going to be smooth or rocky for the day, and that I should avoid spending money.
Then I read some to look at rude celebrity titties!
Once a week I buy a French newspaper that is translated into Norwegian. It is called Le Monde Diplomatique and it has very good analyses of a very wide range of subjects. A few months ago the main story was about how in these days it is not the artwork as such that makes the artist popular, but rather his network. Basically, the main point was that you can't really criticise a shitty artwork if it sold for a billion pounds sterling. The price alone is enough to justify its existence and the traditional values of the art world can go fuck themselves. It's about the buyer, not the learned expert - which is why shit like two basket balls in an aquarium or a gold statue of Kate Moss is hot shit these days.
I remember figuring out you did opera and being like "what?"
oh, like that anime thing jerking off!
I saw that statue in a book when I was like 12
just wide eyed as fuck
bitch, that shit just happened
I know! It's such a weird thing to say to people, and I've been looking for a regular job at a bookstore or something to help during the times when there aren't shows. I could talk about that instead
But the reviews were neat
Ahh, that anime jerking of thing.
No, believe it or not, that shit is legitimate old school critical art with references to one of the great masters (and pioneers of tentacle rape) Hokusai. Not that I particularly enjoy looking at it very much though.
The guy who made has made some other neat stuff though.
wines
theatre
you rich motherfuckers
we were just at the shitty local bar where this other friend had somehow got booked to dj
and someone from the paper came and took photos and asked for our names to put in print
i think she was interested in us because we were the only people who were not white
It was silly hair day (My school was moronic)
My mates been in it quite a few times, as has his younger brothers
Edit: one of those pictures is currently hanging up at our local In The LAN Of Games
youre talking about the guys who jerk off onto anime figurines like katchemash collects and post pictures of the figurines with semen on them?
so I don't follow much is what I'm saying
obviously since I'm the center of the universe, this is somewhat confusing, but I'm learning to deal
because i find it hard to imagine how anyone could take the concept any further
i pretty much get most of my news here, since things that are important and happen to be relevant to my interests almost always get mentioned / threaded
