daviduzumeri:
It’s 1996. I’ve finally broken past the parental wall (actually self-inflicted due to having nightmares from other stuff by the same dude) and gotten a copy of The Downward Spiral. “Hurt” ends for …

Another Tide.
Is there something specific in the background of our conversations? Are you talking to gods or just listening to ghosts? The air is cold but the vibe is warm and summer’s overdue; I’m every inch the island, and I guess a shipwreck’s bound to follow through. So let’s hold our hopes close to our chests, and wish for the best… Maybe another tide will come in soon.

From his face himself:
Dan Harmon will not even answer the question whether or not he will return to Community season 5 until his agency and Sony figure out the question to ask him.
It’s not a yes. It’s not a no. Right now, the ball is not in his court.

Film Review: Upstream Color →
Less a review than an attempt to evoke a feeling. Best movie of the year so far. Check it out.

Yours truly,

Sounding like a lifeboat sent out from early ’90s space-rock, Tripwires’ debut album, Spacehopper, is a fantastic beginning to their career.

more personal bullshit.
[[MORE]]When did I become the person who starts crying while listening to a pop-punk band?
The past year has seem almost purpose designed to break me down into my component pieces, to take everything I had and loved and wanted and then slowly fade them into the aether of a jet’s contrail.
