“It is unlikely that a modern-day Aristotle would ever find himself in the basement of Delta house playing beer pong to the sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd (he might have also wondered why a house full of J. Crew-clad lacrosse players is called ‘Greek’). In his excellent ‘Courtesans & Fishcakes: The Consuming Passions of Classical Athens,’ James Davidson describes the...
Graduate School in the Humanities: Just Don't Go. →
“What almost no prospective graduate students can understand is the extent to which doctoral education in the humanities socializes idealistic, naïve, and psychologically vulnerable people into a profession with a very clear set of values. It teaches them that life outside of academe means failure, which explains the large numbers of graduates who labor for decades as adjuncts, just so they...
Drinking Outside the Temple. →
“New York is one of the world’s great drinking cities, and I raise a glass of Red Hook Rye that it will always be so. But America grew up as a drinking country, and it was once possible to come across as talented a barkeep in St. Louis, Chicago or Denver as could be found on lower Broadway. While it sometimes seems the country has become one massive expanse of big box stores, chain...

PBS Offers Free Download of "The Presidents"...
(via girlindc)
PBS has The Presidents (part of the American Experience) available as a free download. My personal favorite episode is their documentary on FDR. This is quiet a good deal considering the box set costs $130.
Dear boyghost,
I want to “like” all your pictures, but when I actually do that, it seems a bit excessive. So, I’m just going to write you a post to tell you that I really do like (literally)…all your pictures. Okay.

How Bad Is It at The New Yorker ? →

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. I didn’t read Domino regularly, although I always agreed it was a great magazine. Hopefully, Conde Nast can hold on.

My unofficial autobio will be accompanied with tips on how to smile, ‘cause I found that when they don’t see you frown, they never know that you’re a threat and they don’t sweat you when you come around. So, who’s gonna be my next-door savior? Step up to your neighbor and do me a favor: take off the mask, let it all collapse, empty the pack, and...

The Complete Updike. →
“Though it would seem the sort of book he should like, he hadn’t been able to get through it. ‘But I mean to finish it before I die,’ he said, and then added, ‘It will probably be what kills me.’ The audience laughed, and his face turned scarlet, as if this crowd, which loved him, was actually laughing at his death.”

I have the same Polaroid camera. I bought it at Savers for like $2 last year, but it royally fucks up pictures and eats film. I gave my working Polaroid to a friend at CU because I wanted the cool-looking one. Totally stupid idea.
