“The human dimension is the very essence of irregular warfare environments”

Can I cite this as some sort of ironic critique of war?

What Was That I Saw?
As I was driving up 280 today, somewhere between nowhere and whatever that series of exits before daily city, I saw what must have been either quite a desperate hobo, or the worlds biggest J. G. Ballard fan; because there in the middle of an elevated part of 280 floating between the set of roads, was a small campsite on the top of a concrete pillar that wasn’t much wider. At my speed, it...
Necessities
The past twelve days or so have made me realize that no matter what happens in life, there are two things I need: Mexican food and The Beach Boys. I can’t live without them. But for an additional small handful of others, everything else in life is unnecessary. My efforts on relocation to Europe revolve around the burrito. Not out of quirkiness or entrepreneurialism; out of necessity.
signs
Coho Chung once read me this hilarious description of Sagittarius men which started with this gem: “I would say that finding an example of this Sun sign is as easy as rolling off a log, except that it isn’t true. It’s much easier than rolling off a log. Pick any party and look at the center of the liveliest group. See that fellow sitting there happily with his rather large foot...

Five Star Review
As if Minnesota weren’t depressing enough. While searching for Mexican places, I see that Chipotle is currently sitting at five stars on yelp. Monday can’t come soon enough.
That's TWICE Now!
You know those telemarketing calls that use scare tactics? The ones that say something like “Warning, this is our last attempt to reach you regarding your credit card balance” and then after you think the IRS is going to assassinate you, you find out someone just wants to lower your interest rate?
These types of telemarketing calls have been judged illegal, and must stop. I forget...

The Day You Needed To Calm Down
Okay, so everyone is freaking out over The Day The Earth Stood Still Remake. More accurately, they’re freaking out that anyone would dare to remake it, and second that anyone would dare to cast Whoa in the lead role. I have no problems with the later comment. Why people still cast him in speaking roles is beyond me.
However, as to the remake. Many people are getting miffed because they...

“And they say there’s no fate, but there is, it’s what you create.”
– Charlie Kaufman Synecdoche, New York
(via turquoisebird)
I hate to be a stickler, and I don’t know this Charlie Kaufman fellow, but the first part of the second paragraph tells me he’s a thief. And believe me John Connor is one MF you don’t want to piss off.
