this makes me so happy.
i have had people ask me if it’s ok “to have to scroll on a webpage”.

Seriously. It’s much nicer to scroll (vertically!) than to resize windows or click things. Seriously, interntet.

In late 2003 the Hubble telescope pointed at a small region in the sky (about the size of a 1mm by 1mm piece of paper held a meter away from you) which appeared to have no stars or galaxies in it. For four months it continued to take super-low exposure glimpses of this blank area of the universe. The myriad of images was compiled carefully and in the early months of 2004 this menagerie of the distant universe resulted. An estimated 10,000 galaxies are pictured here.

This image is so utterly mind-blowing, yet we’re inclined to regard it benignly, or at least more benignly than beautiful yet not uncommon occurrences such as the Pillars of Creation. littleFluffyKitty over at reddit does an excellent job of putting the magnificence of this photo into perspective.

I just wrote a long angry post about this, and then found out the intern goes to UMD and is friends with a bunch of radio station people? SUP.

So let’s just say that I disagree with most of it. And that a lot of the things she dislikes about the album are like… the point of shoegaze. And… I’m stopping there.

From the article: “It’s hard to crack, hard to get behind the wall of noise and find emotion or passion in the music. There’s a stoicism about it.”

I laughed so much, inside.

Theme by Shawn Stonsifer

Apart from the action, I wanted the player to feel the underlying sense of aloneness. Not loneliness, per se, but the sense of being completely disconnected from any form of outside civilization, and in a strange place at that. There is room for a sense of wonderment, and that leads to not every moment being uniform and dark. Ambient sound is a wonderful thing. While sweeping epic Hollywood-type orchestral elements are just irresistible to work in, the ambiance wipes away the polish and theatrics of an orchestral arrangement and brings a better sense of reality, closeness, and experience…

I think it’s beautiful too.

1. These are vegan pumpkin muffins.
2. I didn’t bake the one in the photo.
3. But I baked 60 of them last night that looked kind of like that one.
4. I baked them for a fundraiser, which was supposed to take place outside of the coffee shop in McKeldin Library.
5. The fundraiser apparently didn’t happen.
6. One of the coffee shop employees told me to go to Stamp, because the fundraiser was happening there.
7. It wasn’t.
8. So I gave the muffins to the Co-Op, and they’ll give them away for free. Which is okay, I guess, but
9. I could have spent that time ~~studying~~ ~~writing my paper~~ ~~reading~~ ~~putting together my radio show~~ ~~sleeping~~ whatever the fuck it is that I do.
