lol @ the cost of oz metric

tbh it seems like they just crunched the numbers to generate the list, the thing with the actually living somewhere I think entails a lot more intangible or qualitative things like weather, access to the outdoors, quality/strength of culture and art appreciation, etc. for example, fresno even being on the list is laughable, the idea that young people would actually want to move there is absurd.

that being said I think it's a decent list and a good starting place if you're looking to move somwhere

^ yea not trying to be a pencil pushing keyboard warrior, but all definitions break down if you push them far enough (including your fragile perceptions of ego and space/time)

for the nerds, here's a really cool video on brain imaging studies done at Oxford on people intravenously injected with psilocybin or MDMA

how long is the wait for michael bennet?

last minute trip to NYC for those "surprise" arcade fire shows this weekend... pretty pumped about it.

wait fuck this is already happening??? I fucking hate myself for not preordering

maybe it's a cultural thing? asian collectivist mindset vs western individuality

also ppl play beer pong after college? the other night this lamer repeatedly stated his desire to play, and we just finished college. I resolved to stay as far away from those types as possible, got more than my fair share of them to last me several life times

ELBOWS BRO

YO I highly recommend against using Accutane. one of my good friends used it in high school and he now suffers from ulcerative colitis (crohn's disease), it really fucked him up

the guy who played James in Twin Peaks sued accutane for giving him crohn's disease and won

you don't know what kind of logic he's employing? how many kinds of logic are there? damn did I take the pizza out of the oven yet???

joy division being reappropriated by the hipster industry of cool is just tragic beyond words

new moby album "Innocents" is streaming on npr

anyone had any success with repairing scratched lenses? it's regular plastic lens, kicking myself with not going for the sturdier glass ones now. 

Who's going to decibel? Got tickets for Nicolas jaar and dusky so far, the lineup is so good makes me wanna go to everything.

these are the tats you'd love to touch...but mustn't touch

bump from the dead, this new place called mango garden in cupertino is really good. their taro shaved ice was a revelation

how's that going? 

that book bested me

as much as i love him as a writer - and i am a sucker for that subject matter - it just didn't seem like he wanted you to be able to get through it

 

maybe i will try again one day

it was fantastic. I think the overload of highly detailed historical information is designed to gradually erode your incredulousness until you start to wonder if there really is a conspiracy, just because the perceived weight of all that evidence starts to accumulate. I definitely had to take a long break when they started getting crazy with reconstructing the plan, but I'm at a place in my life where the cliche "everything is connected" has basically become my mantra. highly recommend pushing through to the finish, although actually I think the best parts were mid way through the book when they're in brazil.

super in depth infographic

makes me wanna visit the rosacrucian museum in my town, this is OG da vinci code

Lucha Libre prob makes my favorite Cali burrito. Surfin California, flank steak marinated in lime juice, fat shrimp, fries that hold up and don't get too soggy, avocado, chipotle mayo sauce, and top it off woth an amazing mint cilantro sauce from their salsa bar. there are like a dozen salsas and at least half are really good.

Lol don't go to seaworld. Tj and Mexico are cool but go with a native speaker. Triton eye is a fabricated excuse for guys who don't have the guts to pursue women. If you're a science major do undergrad research in a lab that interests you. Avoid sdsu parties, too crowded and everyone is dumb as fuck. Best Mexican food IMO is oskars in pb for fish tacos, Lucha Libre in Mission Hill for california burritos and vallartas is open 24 hrs. Don't have such low expectations, sd is a chill place and UCSD is getting better every year.

sup dudes I just realized I'll be in town for the capitol hill block party, gonna be going on sunday at least for sure. been trying to see the flaming lips for like my entire life. I'm staying at a hostel in chinatown from weds night on, if anyone wants to hang out before/during the festival shoot me a pm. would be cool to meet some people from the future, gonna be moving to the city in september

the hammer fight scene is classic. out of the three 'vengeance' series films, old boy is definitely my favorite

can someone give me a rundown of the neighborhoods in seattle? might be moving there for grad school, would like to stay near UW campus but also wanna live somewhere decent/interesting/inexpensive
