“First as Tragedy, Then as Farce”

Slavoj Žižek is one crazy bastard I could listen to all day long.

“The act of consumerism is its own opposite.”

And how.

GPOYW: d’Abo Ed.

Her ever-rarer New York visits make catching up with this one tricky like Dick, but then when we do, it’s all candy-corn and Kermit the frog and coming home for Christmas. Or whatever makes you feel like everything might be okay.

Last night she tried convincing me she saw God in a squirrel in Minnesota. And somehow, when she says it, it doesn’t sound crazy. She’s one of a kind.

So much awesome herein from Jason Linkins, including…

“A good day of roundball leads so naturally into some light fornication, at the top of the key.”

Little sister sang the hell out of an Adele song at Joe’s Pub the other night.

Also, she’s on Law and Order tonight with a giant tattoo on her back!

Two plugs, one post. Ha.

Bonerparty knows exactly how to break it down.

if you’re wondering what to put on when you first bring her back to your place, put this on, and LET THE PUPPY-BUMPING COMMENCE. by the time you get to ‘Go Your Own Way’ you should at least have your hand on a boob, and if you’re not dry humping by the second verse of ‘The Chain’ then you should just give up, walk to the window, light a Sherlock Holmes pipe, and take stock of the other more finite and tangible things in your life because clearly you are not a Gentleman that should be partaking in such scholarly activities as “Getting Your Fuck On On The Futon”.

Hot damn. If this is soft rock, I don’t want to be hard.

Vincent Laforet’s short, Nocturne, has been making its way around the hypertubes because A.) it’s great, and B.) he shot it using zero external light sources and the new Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, which is a dSLR still camera, and got these results.

“ Belief in conspiracy theories can be comforting. If everything that goes wrong is the fault of a secret cabal, that relieves you of the tedious necessity of trying to understand how a complex world really works. And you can feel smug that you are smart enough to “see through” the official version of events. ”
