Leather shoes seems to be the norm these days, following the indie/hipster style (I myself go dressed like that). Thanks, great taste. | ||

RE: Shame I share your sentiments on the whole and was slightly disappointed by the palpable uncomfortability expressed by peers in the audience. (nervous laughter in moments of tension). Anyway, I would add to your themes with the following that I think is very important: The idea of relative importance regarding his personal shame in his vice vs the well being of his sister [i.e. love for family should trump the emotion of shame in whatever vice etc.], the subversion of appearance displayed in his sister and himself. More importantly, I think the film can not be mentioned without compliment of the bravery in pacing. It shifts very decisively between intense action and long contemplative shots that allow the viewer to really form keen judgements. On the whole the film is very spare in terms of plots unfolding and resolving which I think enhances the attempt at honest, relistic depiction. back to the idea of it being much more than sex addiction: if you have the time to find it (sorry it's late T_T) the McQueen rebuffs the interviewers charge that the subject is taboo quite forcefully... Dir et al discussion also, suede or leather moccasin's a la Tod's or Gucci's are imo the perfect blend of classy/casual/comfortable and nice music write up, definitely going to take some o' that... sad you didn't have Kaputt up there... smooth jazz fusion all the way! Hope the next list isn't too far away  | ||

I agree with your take on the value of shoes. The older I get, the more I understand that it's worth paying double or triple the price to get something that lasts instead of getting cheap disposable crap. A good pair of shoes will last basially forever as long as you take care of them and get them resoled as needed. | ||

well, I'm really wary of slipping into a tired old debate, but feel that I should mention that I was thinking about the iPhones and the Macbook Air specifically. I don't really think the Mac Pro is representative because it's old and it's a niche product. but yeah, it's really fucking expensive for the power. Well, android is to iphones as build-your-own PC is to MacPro. I don't really agree with the whole aesthetics of what you are saying. I shove my PC under the desk, and have a super nice, desk, that's made to look good. It doesn't matter how aesthetically minded Apple, or Dell, or whoever is - they just don't have the expertise that a good furniture maker is going to ever have, in regards to aesthetics. Besides, you are looking at the screen, and so performance is much more important with such products, than aesthetics, and in the electronics market, an extra $100 goes a long way for performance. Sure, maybe $100 would get a nice looking PC, but I'd much rather get a 100% increase in processing power by going from an athlon ii x3 to a phenom 1090 or high end i5. And if you are building a PC - actually scratch that - you can just put any computer, into any case. Not hard. Take any dell, remove from dell case, and put it in a $300 cool case. You can make a case of legos for $50, et cetera. I'm not trying to shit on Apple here or start a debate on electronics, but I'm just saying there's a good reason why aesthetics aren't important. It's because the market is so competitive, that I'd rather that extra $100 go to performance, and huge performance boost at that. I mean, $100 means an LG Ally to a Droid 2 (err, i already know these 2 phones are outdated now, but lg ally is not a smartphone just put it that way). And whatever the 'pluses' of Apple, aesthetics is definitely not one of them. Well, maybe to people who are too stupid to know better, but people who know better, buy Apple for a different reason (im not sure why actually). But aesthetics is never a good reason to get an Apple, there are plenty of good looking phones/tablets/etc out there as well, and with electronics you can just make your own case or get a custom for a better price than paying premium for something that looks good. What the hell is that black guy in like the last link that's doing the weird sounds? I checked out every link and blog and vod though, nice stuff. | ||
