– “Online Bullies Pull Schools into the Fray,” The New York Times
WatchA breathtakingly beautiful and fitting homage to London. While time lapse photos border on cliche, I can’t help but fall for the romance of the urban and historical blend of the city, a representation of a place shaped by tradition, sophistication and a public transit system with a stop that includes a place called Cockfosters. I might be giggling at the thought, but I am dead serious about...
Can't find my missing feeling
I’m not sure if this counts as interesting, exactly, because it’s about me and I don’t believe I’ve done enough stuff to be considered in that category. Fortunately, a hilarious picture of a pig riding a skateboard is bound to hit the web any minute now and this little entry can be forgotten shortly.
After graduating college and generally making plans to move out, moving...

A fascinating look at a sitcom that I swore was cancelled 900 years ago. Interesting. (via.)
These Children Who Come At You With Knives: A...
Jim Knipfel writes like Hans Christen Anderson just finished a Coen Brothers movie marathon. He tells dark and twisted fairy tales, like of a irritating gnome who is tired of being treated like a second class citizen.

Commencement: a book review
I have free time now, because I graduated college. While I am working this summer, it’s the type of work where it’s more like professional free time. Also, Facebook activity comes to a grindingly slow halt during the summer, as regular people tend to have less reasons to procrastinate and thus update less. So I read, mostly during “work.”
One of the first books I...

Mom: What did you order?
Me: A Green Tea Lemonade.
Mom: Oh an Om-Obama.
Me: What?
Mom: An Om-Obama.
(pause)
Me: Oh, Arnold Palmer.

DHL Guy
Part of my job as a high-ranking front desk person in an office is to sign for courier deliveries. It’s glamorous, high-paying, but I do it because I want to make a difference in the world, or something.
The UPS guy and the FedEx guy are cool, friendly people and this job duty would be just another thing I do, like answering phones or humoring schizophrenic people who like to tell people...
Lost
I don’t know where I am right now. I mean that figuratively - of course, I really know where I am: I’m sitting in my bedroom in my apartment in Los Angeles.
Slowly, my loss for words has seem to grow over time. It’s not just that I haven’t found what I am looking for, it’s that I don’t even know what I want.
It’s troubling.
I hope to avoid a similar...
