ain’t really your life, ain’t really ain’t nothing but a movie. Repeat. Ad infinitum. Was reminded today, after reading a superb review of Thomas de Zengotita’s book Mediated, of how much my life resembles a B movie. A really, really unoriginal B movie. Thoroughly mediated.

I don’t even know where to start. Our move to San Diego was so exhausting I don’t have the energy to write it all out so I will try to summarize. It all started with the moving company (Transamerica) consistently telling us they would call us back regarding the the status of our move and [...]

What do you all think? I just finished taking a couple exams today and I noticed something: neither of them taught me anything (besides how to take tests and that there is always a correct answer).
