Hi! My name is Eleanor. I don't do much on tumblr except follow cool people, but I'm okay with that. I have aspirations to one day be fantastic on the Internet, and in the meantime I try to be fantastic irl. DFTBA! |
The last few episodes of TDS have merely increased my love for JStew.

The view from Red Square on a clear, sunny day. You can even see a faint shadow of Mount Rainier in the distance!

I miss Seattle. Also this kid.
“Maybe dullness is associated with psychic pain because something that’s dull or opaque fails to provide enough stimulation to distract people from some other, deeper type of pain that is always there, if only in an ambient, low-level way, and which most of us spend nearly all our time and energy trying to distract ourselves from feeling, or at least from feeling directly or with our full attention. Admittedly, the whole thing’s pretty confusing, and hard to talk about abstractly…but surely something must lie behind not just Muzak in dull or tedious places any more but now also actual TV in waiting rooms, supermarkets’ checkouts, airport gates, SUVs’ backseats. Walkman, iPods, BlackBerries, cell phones that attach to your head. This terror of silence with nothing diverting to do. I can’t think anyone really believes that today’s so-called ‘information society’ is just about information. Everyone knows it’s about something else, way down.”
