I’m thinking very seriously about
Deleting all of my google reader feeds.
Removing all facebook friends.
Defollowing everyone on twitter.
Emptying my inbox.
Cleaning out my contacts list.
And only re-adding when I it actually becomes needed or wanted. How long would it be before I got back to completely unmanageable input streams?
i’m so terrified by the size of my google...

a great article. i love louis ck.
i will confess that i find jerry seinfeld extremely boring.

farewell, cruel world.

For over a century now, the debate has centered on reading — on which books should, or more often should not, be included on the prison library’s shelves; which books are “harmful” or “helpful”; whether reading is a privilege or a right. […] But the issue of reading is only one dimension of the...
i'm sure it will be fine.
that has been my fallback phrase for the past 5 months, and i have to say it has been a friendly and effective one. i tend to get overwhelmed and freaked out and cranky, and this past semester started out at 11 on the scale of overwhelm and, if anything, only got overwhelmedier as it went on.
