All of my free time has led to a few breakthroughs in pop culture discovery. First and foremost, I am enthralled with the TV series Dexter. It is darkly fascinating while maintaining accessibility. It only took one watch of the pilot for me to want more (which is better than I can say about most of my favorite shows). Though it is depressing at times, it delivers a sick satisfaction along with hints for future growth.
Music is another area I have been focused on as of late. I've been scanning through recent album releases for gems. So far my success has been limited however I found a few which include:
LCD Soundsystem - London Sessions
Daft Punk - Tron Legacy
Morcheeba - Blood Like Lemonade
and the music video...
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
As a disclaimer I'd like to note that these albums impressed me on a superficial level and some of them are still waiting for a my full critique. I just felt like it was time to share even though I'll have to return with real recommendations...
I usually catch up on my reading while riding the bus so the short winter days have taken their toll on my efficiency. Nevertheless, I am reading an interesting autobiography called Look Me in the Eye about a man with Asbergers. He is an idiot cevant of sorts who delivers a refreshing perspective on life. To me it is proof of human adaptability despite singular shortcomings. It amazes me how the author learns to cope and build himself a niche in an unwelcoming world.
I guess that is all for now other than a reminder to you all that V-Day is here so get those chocolates in the mail. Everyone likes to receive a bit of love. Don't be a taker, share the wealth.
