Serious political discourse

For such a thing, look no further than Herman Cain everyone! This is 100% real and on HIS actual YouTube channel. This is the kind of fun and fluff running for the highest office in the land! Hooray for not taking the big issues so seriously and making a mockery of everything a democracy is! Hooray, hooray!

Haruki Murakami

I've never read him. I've always wanted to. Maybe I will someday. It's stuff like this that interests me in people/authors/artists:
“Full time,” for Murakami, means something different from what it does for most people. For 30 years now, he has lived a monkishly regimented life, each facet of which has been precisely engineered to help him produce his work. He runs or swims long distances almost every day, eats a healthful diet, goes to bed around 9 p.m. and wakes up, without an alarm, around 4 a.m. — at which point he goes straight to his desk for five to six hours of concentrated writing. (Sometimes he wakes up as early as 2.) He thinks of his office, he told me, as a place of confinement — “but voluntary confinement, happy confinement.”
“Concentration is one of the happiest things in my life,” he said. “If you cannot concentrate, you are not so happy. I’m not a fast thinker, but once I am interested in something, I am doing it for many years. I don’t get bored. I’m kind of a big kettle. It takes time to get boiled, but then I’m always hot.”

Bored To Death (HBO)

This show is sooo good. I just found out about it and have been watching Season 3 on HBO. It's a comedy. I don't have HBO, I don't even have cable; I don't make a lot of time for TV. Take all this into consideration if when making your decision based on my little bloggy here, of whether or not this show is for you. It reminds me of something awesome—good comedy! Zach Galifinakorassdfs and Jason Schwartzsermannn in the same show, oh and TED DANSON? Awesomeness written all over it.
