1 year agoIt was both a joke and my real life. I hope I have a similar experience. I’m a virgin after all… for this anyway.

They’d probably cancel the appointment if I said that, not gonna wait another 3 months to try to book my favorite activity.
The genders will be the other way around, but I like the cut of your jib.
Absurd, love it.

- Hey Jude - such heartfelt brotherly love
- Tomorrow Never Knows - exotic, strange and otherworldly

If you like Noisia, we should be on the same page here…

Some of those last few are hard in a different way, but anyway, should be at least one you like in there.
8·1 year agoAnyone who appreciates this one and hasn’t read the entirety of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations (compiled into book form) really should. Many gems of stoic wisdom therein.
Just FYI, that quote from your girlfriend is not original. Good one though. I believe originally it’s, “Better a bitter truth than a sweet lie,” but I’m not sure who said it first.
Here are a few off the top of my head (though I looked up the original kanji for some of the Japanese ones)…

For films, Under The Skin (2013 indie film directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Scarlett Johanson in a pretty low-key role for the most part) is fantastic. More on the horror end, but has strong scifi elements. Amazingly crafted film, nothing really gory at all, the horror is all psychological, but it has such disturbing moments that stick in your head (unwanted) for years. I’ve watched it 3 times though, so that may be part of the problem.
