– Lana Del Rey’s Image on “Born to Die” : The New Yorker Sasha Frere-Jones gets the January 2012 award for accuracy! A commenter wrote in reply to this: “Agree with the sentiment, but actors *act*; musicians create music. We’re not implicitly invited to suspend disbelief with the latter.” This...

My latest post on my other tumblr about training for an Ironman. This one is about how much I hate fitness goals that are about looking good for other people.
WatchThis is a message that we’ve heard before, that studio executives think they need to market to the lowest common denominator, and thus Transformers 5 gets made over something smarter & better. It’s still nice to hear the frustration from a group of fantastic actors. Also, George Clooney is so articulate, Charlize Theron doesn’t understand Viola Davis in an embarrassing way,...
My parents are cooler than yours because they sing Robyn songs together sometimes at home. THIS IS TRUE!
Leonard Cohen: "Going Home"
newyorker:
I love to speak with Leonard
He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
He’s a lazy bastard

I saw them open for Youth Lagoon and they were great. This is my favorite track of theirs. Listen to it 10x.
“Using data on the Facebook activity of a cohort of college students over 4...”
– Lewis et al. (2011) in PNAS
I just read the abstract, but from this I conclude that college students in general don’t read/don’t put much stock in reading. Also, people who listen to classical and jazz are socialists.

Check out this new tumblr of mine, where I blog about training for Ironman Wisconsin 2012. There’s already a picture of my feet on there, so you know it’s going to be good.
