    Levi's and GAP have done pretty good clothing ads recently that hearken back to the more experimentalist stuff of the early 80s

    Which one of them did that weird one where everyone in a car is wet and one girl just takes off her pants in the back and schleps them up by the front seat?

    I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
    A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
    I have wasted my life.
    What to make of this famous last line, “I have wasted my life”? I hear him exhale it with a wry laugh: I’ve wasted my life! He’s kind of smiling. I’ve done it again, all this wasted time, he thinks—but at least I know it. Though he hasn’t really wasted all of his life—he knows that, too. You have to enter the hammock, put the world on hold, to really see things clearly the way the poem does. He’s been to this hammock before, and he’s had moments like this before, and it’s mostly positive. It’s self-deflating, but not depressing. It’s sad, and longing, and nostalgic, and wry—the ironic half-bark of a laugh.

    that's our whole lives in a nutshell isn't it - the ironic half-bark of a laugh

    Fincher made these though. David Lynch making a commercial would probably be 30 seconds of weird disjointed visuals.

    and out of nowhere my joint pain returns with a vengeance

    I can't even fucking walk, and I'm out of painkillers. I wanted to go to bed.

    I go three months with hardly a twinge of pain and then this happens.

    fuck you, body.

    when i read that tweet i automatically finished the song lyric in my head, then i thought about how right that lyric was as a response to the idea of "health goth"

    then i desperately wished in my heart of hearts that i was cool

    He claimed that even though our advice might be right, he was different so it didn't apply to him.

    So exactly like you'd expect.

    Thank fuck I'm not the parent of a teen yet.

    Well, I read on a quite a bit from where I went to bed and we gave it a real good shot at least. But there's not terribly much you can do, is there. Unless someone has a magic bullet that convinces someone that they are not capable of adult logic.

    This is why pre-adults should be locked in a Martix-style computerized learning harness to teach them important skills before they are allowed status as full human and released into the wild.

    The Kindle is a nice little device but the app ecosystem is smeared shit.

    It doesn't even root easily.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    that would make the matter worse, not better

    I woke up having brownies I made last night.

    Brownie mix made for too spongy brownies, but still it's brownies.
