    [2016] Gone But Not Forgotten

    This news hit me harder than I thought a celebrity death could. My earliest clear memories are from when I was six years old. I already had a Purple Rain poster hanging on my bedroom wall. I literally have no memory of a time in my life I wasn't a massive Prince fan.

    Thinking of Moving Back home to Sac - Tell me why I should, and shouldn't

    So New Orleans, then. Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said three months of fall, two months of winter, one month of the most gloriously damn beautiful spring that exists anywhere, and six months of why-am-I-melting-and-holy-$@&*-what-is-that-giant-thing-flying-at-me.

    Thinking of Moving Back home to Sac - Tell me why I should, and shouldn't

    I think gentrification has innocuous enough roots: people take an interest in cheap and usually interesting parts of town and begin making small improvements. That's positive. But it always gets out of hand. And when people from a city/neighborhood can no longer afford to live in that...

    Highest education + Career?

    I'll break the IT trend. MA in Art History, and an MLIS. I work as a librarian.

    TV - What's your passion (NON-sports)?

    Comedy Central is streaming on their website all 2500+ episodes of Jon Stewart's run on The Daily Show from now until his last episode in August. I've been enjoying revisiting a show I've always loved but have never rewatched.

    Neither, really. Sequel, but without a direct narrative connection to any of the films in the original trilogy. It functions more like a Bond film in that way. However, it's helped by having the original creator/writer/director at the helm.

    Hollywood has stopped making movies like it. That's the point.

    Everyone go see Mad Max: Fury Road. Now. It's important for cinema that this thing makes a ton of money. Seriously.

    TV - What's your passion (NON-sports)?

    They've only released the titles through episode 11, so that could be why it doesn't list them all. Wikipedia has air dates listed for all 14, though, and AMC announced back during the sixth season that the final would be fourteen episodes split to air seven and seven.

    TV - What's your passion (NON-sports)?

    There are seven episodes of Mad Men airing this year, not four. This final split season is almost as many episodes as Breaking Bad aired on the same schedule.

    BLACK & BLUE - Strange way our eyes process color

    It's white and gold. It's always been white and gold, it's only ever been white and gold. It's so white and gold that the whole debate annoys me. The fact it's a debate annoys me. White and gold. The image is back-lit, the dress is in shadow, the yellow light theory is hooey. Gadget has...

    TDOS Tropical Island IPOD Cover Draft - Round 20

    Figured I'd add my leftover list. These are in no particular order, and my list was far from extensive, but these are the unpicked leftovers I was still considering (song titles are links): "I Put a Spell on You" -- She + Him "Across the Universe" -- Fiona Apple "Compared to What" -- John...

    And to start the next round: "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" -- The Feelies, on Crazy Rhythms, 1980 Originally written by John Lennon and recorded by The Beatles, 1968 Not much to say about this one other than it's a cover I've always loved. And one of the few on...
