  1. i had a dream recently that an old co-worked lined and detonated my apartment building with c4. the building didn't totally disintegrate, one part in the back (where there was some kind of black-market shrimp ring) blew out and the rest kind of cracked and slumped. i later asked my co-worker what that was all about and she said she was initiating the 4th wave of feminism: feminist-terrorism.

    i look forward to seeing this become a reality

  2. people might be confusing "physically attractive" and "unconfident" as factors in one's potential to be raped. here, and elsewhere, i think the alcohol was a much more important part of the equation

  4. i am about as politically 'radical' as they come but all this humanistic disdain for capitalism makes me want to go to the other extreme. one of my life goals now is to turn myself into a luxury object and live an extremely shallow life. i will find an equally shallow partner and our relationship will have an entirely aesthetic premise. hopefully people will get upset as the most cherished and mythic abstract values--love--sublimates into a meaningless series of images.

  5. lol already have nice electric toothbrush. Swapped a crappy Xmas gift for toothbrush at best buy because that store sucks and they didn't have anything better. Solid buy tho

    Um what are some good <$200 headphones? All I have are ear buds now and they suck

    i would put that 200 towards a pair of DT880s

    sennheiser hd600 is good too but the thing to understand about sennheiser is that they are "professional studio headphones" in the sense that they are meant for professionals who listen to music for 6-8 hours a day. they're often said to have a 'sennheiser veil' that makes listening to music for long periods of time easier. there isn't as much detail and the highs and lows are moderated

    the dt880s are about the same quality but give more detail, and more accurate reproduction of the sound. theyre described sometimes as 'cold', 'clinical', 'analytical', but ive loved my pair so far. some say you need a pre-amp or a headphone amp to use the dt880s, but if you get the 250 ohms you should have absolutely no problem plugging them into a laptop or ipod. another thing to consider is the 'semi-open' design. completely closed headphones, for example, you could listen to those at a good volume in the library without bothering anyone next to you. the dt880s though, at full volume they become like miniature speakers.
