“Another way to resist acquiring stuff is to think of the overall cost of owning it. The purchase price is just the beginning. You’re going to have to think about that thing for years—perhaps for the rest of your life. Every thing you own takes energy away from you. Some give more than they take. Those are the only things worth having.”

One of my absolute favorite movies from last year. I’ve recommended it to a few people that, after watching it, told me I’m crazy. But I think this is Wes Anderson’s best film since Rushmore. 4 out of 5 stars.

I don’t know when my obsession started with MBD, but I just can’t stop listening.

Plus, I’m a sucker for anything with a cello.

It’s a little sad here at org. So I’ve decided to lower my standards a bit. More music, links, photos and reviews coming at you. Heck, I might even write a thing or two.

And yeah, comments are working again.

A few out of place (Death Cab?) and the hardcore line is way too short, but a great idea nonetheless.
