I Love the Modern World

One aspect of industrialization that many people fail to appreciate is the immense increase in productivity in the past two hundred years. Clothing is a good example of this. Before weaving and sewing were industrialized, most people owned less than three changes of clothes at any one time. These clothes were expected to last for years, much longer

Remember when Livejournal was used for telling people about how shitty your day was and how your girlfriend dumped you?

Much better use.

Sorry I missed Ariel Pink. I watched Paths of Glory, which isn't one of the best movies ever. Indeed, it's one of the greatest things ever.

i haven't seen that movie since the art school made the kiggins play it.
i might appreciate it better if i watched it again.
breana said she and dave ran into you at the video store.
did you stay home and watch it all by yourself?
you need to hang out with us more.

No i watched it with Tyler because he's teaching kids about WWI this week. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have had anything to show the kids. You know Ross loves the kids.

And the only thing I get in return for renting him war movies so he can someday be a teacher? A tallboy of PBR.

Ariel Pink was better than last time. It was him without a backing band. He just had a sythesizer and an old TASCAM with pre-recorded back-up vocals of himself.

Anyway, don't feel bad. Even though he was good, it wasn't an earth shattering performance. I think you did better with the movie.

good point. of course many of these things have their downsides as well. but that's life.
