Year in Review, Part the Second (Culture)
I feel like I've lagged quite a bit in cultural consumption this year, but I thought I'd put that assumption to the test with a review. Compiling it all bears that out, and I think the common theme is comfort food plus back catalog, both of which are probably excusable given the events of the past year in my life. I don't want this to turn into a ( Read more... ) -

It's not gonna solve all of our problems, but it's a start, and ( Read more... ) -

T&G 25 is Go!
So, who the hell all was going to this again? I know I've read several people on my f'list salivating over this. I kinda blocked it all out on the assumption I wouldn't be able to go, but now I can! and I am! So I'm belatedly as excited as everyone else was. See you there? -
Luxury Meme
This is kind of an interesting exercise, as I've been exposed to a kind of constant low-level discomfort by the upscale(albeit mostly in a classy way) lifestyle and upbringing that most of my peers out here are accustomed to. I never felt "working class"(actually, I was never very aware of class as a component of my identity at all) until I moved ( Read more... )
