I love their song “Raise It Up.” REAL DEEP.
Bei Dao
Went to a poetry reading by Bei Dao at the 92nd Street Y tonight with Chris. Was fantastic. My favorite poem of the night below.
Road Song in the oblivion between the trees the lyric attacks by dogs at the end of an endless trip night turns all the keys of gold but no door opens for you a lantern follows the ancient principles of winter I walk straight toward you as you open the fan of...

It is kind of retarded (pre-empting the haters), but it was like the best horoscope ever! (well, except that it says that I can get uncontrollably angry - RAWWWR - and I hold back emotionally. it also says i’m rele in sexytimes - hoh...
weird and intense things
This weekend I was supposed to write a paper for Art Hum and a draft of my independent study project for Tuesday (the former is now almost-done; the latter is now not-done), but I ended up going through Thought Catalog archives.

a most searing indictment
I’M COMIC SANS, ASSHOLE.
BY MIKE LACHER
Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.
