I have one of those technorati profile things. I still can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with it.

Well, yes, but same basic idea or something else entirely?

I still can't entirely accept that this isn't photoshopped. It is, right? Right? Please?

Good, good. At least they acted quickly with the blog thing. I sort of figured someone had mailed him, but since no one had mentioned it in the reblog, I decided it was better to be safe than sorry.

I have absolutely no idea how you can live around a city that requires so much walking and still wear Chucks. Your feet are made of sterner stuff than mine.

Union Square is pretty awesome, as are the areas around Ball Square and Inman Square. Ball Square is pretty close to Tufts and Inman is pretty close to Harvard. Not quite close enough that they're ideal for student living, but close enough that plenty of students might have to settle for them. That might drive the prices up. Union Square isn't so close to either, so it might be a good bet.

We lived in various parts of Winter Hill, which were also nice but has sort of limited access to public transportation. Jamaica Plain is also a decent area that's good for the young, hip demographic. It was starting to get too pricey when we lived there, and some people who wanted to be near JP moved to Dorchester instead. Still, with the economy in the shitter, these areas might be livable again.

I've been thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of Tumblr a lot, now that I'm getting into the thick of it. And I have to admit that my next longer post about Tumbling is likely to include something about nearly swearing off text posts entirely. My Tumblr dashboard flows by as a distraction from my workaday doldrums. It's more like a game than a way of communicating.

Basically, yeah, I think it's a bit shallow and superficial, but there's a place for that in our lives. But it's not good to rely on tumblage for emotional support... or, even, empathy.

There was a reality TV show about Repo Men. I missed it, but I'll bet it was intense.

The term a favorite professor once used was "terrified sequential monologues." I still think it's pretty much the most apt description.

Screw the pope. Every single Catholic world wide has the mental capacity to tell him to go fuck himself-- at which point he would just be some asshole in a dress. He is merely a symptom of global idiocy.

See, when I do talk too much, it's like that. Babble completely lacking any kind of self awareness.

Yep, this is exactly what happens to me.

Oh, I don't know, as I sort of hinted at in this post, I really thought like this at sixteen and tried to embrace "free love" or polyamory or watever because of that. It only took about five years of an agonizing relationship (and probably another five or so years of various irresponsibility and disrespect to my heart and the hearts of women I cared about) to realize that I wasn't cut out for that much idealism. I don't know that the younger generation takes sex any differently than I did (or maybe you did), but they are younger and you can't teach these kinds of emotional fuckups. You just have to live through them and do better next time.

Oh, you know. You only see symptoms of person once you see what they Tumblr, and even that takes a fair amount of time. And, to be honest, I'm getting a little over committed to tumblr, and that means that sometimes things slips past me, or I forget who posted what. I actually do want to use my tumblog as a means of interaction with people, so I am trying to create a little fixture for you in my memory place, so that you become a person and not a collation of output.

Re: Hello capriquarius

wbmook — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:46:28 -0000

Exactly. I think there's a reckoning coming up, because I'm getting way too distracted at my job. I'll have to spare the newbies, though, since I haven't even given them a chance. In any case, something has to give.
