Go Back to Sleep, Geek Culture. False Alarm.
A few days ago, this article by Patton Oswalt was posted on Wired. In a nutshell, it’s about how everyone is something of a geek nowadays, and the whole idea of being a geek or a nerd has been cheapened because of it. That might be an oversimplification. Read it for yourself.
My first response is to angrily dismiss him as a crotchety old man yelling about how things were better in his day,...

I guess I'm back. Sort of. Hey.
Over the course of the past half of the year, thanks to some professional and semi-professional help, I’ve discovered that I’m kind of a screwed up human being. Well, okay, I already knew that. I just discovered that my abnormalities are kind of, well, normal.
I never read, despite owning dozens of unread books. I have no patience for it. This is, apparently, not all that strange when...

I expect the results of using this line to be mediocre, but I have a good feeling about it.

– How Nerds Are Like Racists (via nerdsruineverything)
Can we talk about this? Like, can we really talk about this? Because I’m one of those “semi-aspergian” individuals. When a white comic book character is cast with a black actor, it ruffles my feathers a bit. Likewise, if...

Akira Kurosawa's 'Dreams'
The night before last, I had no fewer than three nightmares. Last night, however, I dreamed a dream that involved, in part, Stephen Malkmus having a slightly less malevolent identical twin. (Oh, yes — Stephen Malkmus apparently has enough of the darkness in him to have a “good twin.”) So, upgrade.
Anyway, I’ve spent today enjoying the first snowfall of the season, eating...

LOL
I was stupid enough to make a Gawker Media account at one point in my life, and because of this security breach thing, my Facebook got hacked. Everything’s okay now, but I’m really enjoying picturing some asshole from Oregon logging into my account, seeing this, and sighing, “Oh, goddammit.” You get nothing. Good day, sir.
