    things to do and see, places to eat in Los Angeles

    My favourite restaurant is Bossa Nova on Robertson/Santa Monica Blvd, in West Hollywood - Brazilian Food...at night there can be quite the crowd in the outdoor eating area as this section of WeHo is full of clubs and nightlife...but this place is also great to have a more serene eating...

    REM, Nightswimming...

    Hard to define a good song as music, as any art form, is so subjective to the listener. But, for what its worth, it is one of my favourites. Captures a moment in time quite poignantly, I think - an evening in what seems like Summer, friends skinny dipping, one of those random moments that...

    timbaland and chris cornell

    Standard Timbaland fare, I'd say. Pre-chorus it feels as if a standard Cornell song was put through a remix-pipe, tbh. It is not Rap/Rock, true. Feels forgettable to me; pedestrian and predictable. I prefer Timbaland/Timberlake to this anyday. But, I suppose it isn't horrible, though the...

    facebook

    This is due to the fact that Facebook owns everything you post, and never deletes anything from their logs. This has quite a bit of a stir with artists/photographers who share their work through this particular networking site. But yes, once you sort them out, the privacy settings are good, for...

    Suggest a Book for the dissensus book club!

    He kept insisting it was for someone else, but he became more and more transparent as the transactions went on that it was for himself. But yes, he kept asking for less flowery language, and more action. It was ace, I agree.

    Suggest a Book for the dissensus book club!

    There has been much speculation, and I suppose accusation, that her diaries were fiction. Perhaps not completely, but that she wrote with a reader's intent the entire time. I'm fond of her letters between Henry Miller through the years. Her fiction is haphazard, at best. There are a few (very...

    Music for Snow Days

    *nodding* in fervent agreement, esp. to 'Victorialand' and 'Pornography'; and yes, 'Cold'.

    Pretentious Crap

    yeah. i either read that constantly, or mentions/accusations/suggestions to fap. :rolleyes: i was lucky in my earliest experiences online. the first real "group" i was a part of (a mailing list, when those existed) where i met some interesting, intelligent, varied and unique people who i still...

    Pretentious Crap

    i suppose there has to be a medium range, though. not the chaos and inevitable fall into the profane, and shocking to shock, that /b/ became (at least parts of it). nor the self-referential, linking to each other circle of groupthink that you reference in regards to networks of blogs, or forums...

    Pretentious Crap

    how often do you think we get to be exposed to contrasting opinions, and actually take them in, without trying to battle out the differences, prove the opposing party wrong, and cohabitate online with those of similar natures/opinions/beliefs as our own? i know it is possible, and ideal, to...

    Pretentious Crap

    i think it is both the backstory of the forum, what it started as, and a lot of the majority of posting that goes on (at least in 4chan, which is what i've actually seen the most, taints it with a certain reputation. the idea of an unmoderated, anonymous forum has its utopian appeal, but how...

    Metal Machine Music

    i get your point, thank you for the clarification, though. and yes, i've read similar things on blogs, and especially other music forums/communities i've frequented/been a part of. as an American, albeit from the opposite coast as you are, i do hear your point. not that you needed me to affirm...
