    music vs cinema (an entirely subjective contest)

    is music too middle class?

    sort of inspired by some comments on the board, the twee thread, and articles like this - http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/class-of-2012-how-the-social-classes-are-meeting-in-the-middle-8112885.html i would personally just substitute middle class for middle of the road. though...

    hair loss

    i think i might be thinning out a tiny bit on my crown. i prob know the answer but i have to ask - does anything work to curb it? (herb/vit supplements etc) or should i just forget addressing the apparently fatal lack of zinc and omega 3 in my diet and shave it all off? im also unsure why god...

    asexuality/celibacy

    was reading a piece on this in the observer yesterday. now i know theres a diff between being celibate and being asexual, but i wonder if celibacy could be more of a lifestyle choice as a reaction to hypersexuality in the modern world.
