that said,
this chick rocks hard at the ripe old age of 18:
Most overrated trend/movement sweeping the city:
Ugh, there are so many. I wish people would just be original. I mean, I am not setting any trends, but I just wear what is comfortable sometimes a little trendy. But, I get so annoyed that people aren't creative anymore. For instance the trucker hat (an easy target I know, but so so annoying), why? Big logos are equally annoying, I just think people need to relax, there's always going to be someone out there that looks cooler than you. And usually it's someone who didn't try as hard as you did.
What bygone NYC place or thing do you wish were still around?
... I wish the PS1 series of I think it was 2002 could just happen every summer, I had such a good time that year there ... I wish there was a reset button I could press to make all my jadedness go away. I remember when I first moved here and every little stupid thing would make me feel so inspired. It's so hard living here that it wears you down so quickly, I've only been here for 4 years and I am so salty about everything!! Pour out a little liquor for my innocence y'all.
If you could change one thing about New York, what would it be?
I guess if I wanted to change it too much I would be ready to move away. I wish it weren't so damn expensive to live here so I could save some money or buy a place.
The End of The World is finally happening. What are you going to do with your last 24 hours in New York?
I feel lucky to have some really great close friends. I would just get them all together and bug out. I always end up piling too much into my day. Ideally, my last 24 hours would be completely free form.

new york times = old gray lady
cnn = milf
cable = girls gone wild
"cynicism is the wrong place to start"
"journalism is important because the whole culture is parasitic off of it"
"if journalists don't record it, it's gone. out of history."
best work under worst circumstances
"live a life in truth"
"journalists must irrigate their imaginations by drinking deeply from the depths of life. do what's irrelevant ... immediacies of life ..."
"often not the case that people read news today ... maybe tomorrow or years from now"

not that this is breaking news, but this can't really be called a blog anymore—more of a place to keep links and quotes and other shit that i don't want to lose track of. plus, i'm a boring grad student now, and who wants to read about that?
or do you?

notes from law class, which i spent interested in the lecture but morbidly petrified of being called on:
"there's good in the worst seeming press" (lewis)
"try to avoid the knee-jerk reaction that the press is always right" (blasi)
1476 = gutenberg printing press. remember for next time.
don't underestimate the impulse to censor ... it's often connected to the fear of anarchy ... larger force today than many realize (paraphrased from blasi)
