Effing television

posted by Seth in , , ,

I’ve been watching too much television lately, and I’ve generally been doing too much of nothing. I think Leila was right when she told me not to bring my television along to college.

Sorry for the emo post earlier; now there’s something to be “emo” about. This is a joint post by Seth and I, dedicated to a man we mutually admired when he was alive, and still appreciate even in death, though we both wish he had chosen an option less drastic and irreversible than taking his [...]
