  • Story Circles of Community s04e01

    Update: I’ve re-evaluated my assessment.

    In which I examine the first episode of the 4th season of Community. I’d love to hear some other opinions. Did I miss anything?

    Assertion: This episode, while a decent and entertaining return, feels a bit off because it does not follow the standard story circle.

  • 20-year-old albums to help you feel old (or young)

    2012-08-15 02:22:00 • #Music #tumblr

    Here’s a handful of albums from my music archive that turn 20 years old this year (2012), released in 1992:

  • Caffeine

    2011-02-01 08:35:00 • #Life #Facebook

    10 years ago, January of 2001, I decided to actively avoid consuming caffeine of any kind. The reason was simply to “see if I could”. To my knowledge, I have successfully spent the past decade caffeine-free. This means I have not (that I’m aware of) consumed anything containing caffeine in 10 years. This includes chocolate and caffeinated beverages.

    Effective immediately, however, I’ve decided to take caffeine off of the “banned substance list”. I somewhat feel as if I’ve been missing out on things in life because of the no caffeine policy. For example, I wasn’t able to eat the cake at one of my best friend’s wedding this past year. Ten years seems like a nice, round number at which to stop. Or at least take a break.

    Now, this doesn’t mean that I’ll be actively seeking consumption of caffeine and I’ll probably continue to avoid it for the most part. I’ll still be mostly drinking water, I still prefer vanilla ice cream and I still hate the taste of coffee. I just won’t be such a pain about things anymore and hopefully will be able to enjoy life a little bit more.

    the media coverage summed up in one quote:

    “Now, for you people who are saying, ‘Well, stop pointing fingers at the president…left-wing…the media’s being too hard’:

    No. SHUT…UP! No! This is inarguably—inarguably—a failure of leadership from the top of the federal government. Remember when Bill Clinton went out with Monica Lewinsky? That was inarguably a failure of judgment at the top. Democrats had to come out and risk losing credibility if they did not condemn Bill Clinton for his behavior.

    I believe Republicans are in the same position right now. And I will say this: Hurricane Katrina is George Bush’s Monica Lewinsky. The only difference is that tens of thousands of people weren’t stranded in Monica Lewinsky’s vagina.”
