    The Random Thought Thread

    Why can't sleep be like rollover minutes?

    Bioshock Infinite

    Just pre-ordered my premium edition. I'd happily pay $20 bucks for a Bioshock art book since the art and ambiance are what has made this series amazing. I absolutely cannot wait to play this game. Why the hate for Bioshock 2? I understand that the first one seemed a bit anti-climactic after Ryan...

    "Wool" series by Hugh Howey...

    Loved Wool. Reminded me of Shirley Jackson. I was really pleased because I feel like I haven't read a well thought out dystopia in a while. I started reading First Shift but I just can't get into it as much.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Not a smokescreen, just another way of making the point you just stated. People get married for lots of reasons. If you make a statement like "Men only get married to please women," then pointing out a significant portion of the male population who want to get married even though there are no...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If men were only getting married to please women, gay marriage would be 50% less of an issue than it is.

    Traveling to Boston

    For museums you've obviously got the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (Student ID gets you in free, if you happen to have one). Close by that is the Huntington Theater which puts on some good shows if you want to get classy and see a play or an opera. If you like comic books you can hit up Newbury...

    Life of Pi (2012)

    I don't think this is the point of the story at all. Open ended stories like this say more about the reader than they do about the books true premise. A skeptic will read the book and think "Obviously the story with people is the true one." A person open to believing things that require a larger...

    March Book of the Month: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    Sounds good to me. I ordered mine today. I was pissed at my Kindle for overcharging the shit out of their e-books so I just got a used copy. Has anyone started it yet?

    March Book of the Month: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

    Sounds a bit like Neuromancer.

    Vikings

    I was originally going to pass this show up because I had convinced myself it was more pseudo-historical garbage. I am pleasantly surprised that it's not.

    Rosetta Stone: Espanol

    I am learning Italian in preparation for a trip this June. I have a bit of an advantage since my father is Italian and honestly, speaking to him in Italian for 1/2 an hour everyday has progressed me farther than anything. Without someone to speak to it's very difficult to understand the little...

    The Documentary Thread

    This is an interview with Jeffery Dahmer and his father which is pretty informative and creepy. This isn't a documentary per se but it's a collection of original photos, news footage and videos surrounding the Manson family murders. It's also really easy to find documentaries and...

    Requesting your votes....(Tits Included)

    Keg, I don't know who came up with this troll idea, but I think it's her way of telling you she wants the D.
