"The New Victorians"

So this article reminded me a lot of another article that Sarah recently posted about how young people no longer have the resources to act like our irresponsible hippie parents did back in the 60's. Money quote:

so odd that i've seen like 3 separate wile e. coyote references this week. i told you that i once wrote a letter to warner bros. concerning the plight of mr. coyote, right?

this was when i was like, 10 years old. my letter was like, to the president of warner bros. complaining that it was completely unjust and not credible for them to depict a supergenius like wile e. coyote continuing to fail spectacularly in his attempts to catch the roadrunner, who was obviously a hedonistic nitwit whose only two positive attributes were luck and speed. and i said that furthermore, by celebrating and elevating the roadrunner instead of the resourceful and indefatigable coyote, it sends entirely the wrong message to the children of america. i eventually got a response back from bugs bunny, saying that the coyote wasn't exactly as smart as he thought, and i wasn't giving enough credit to the road runner for his ingenuity. i was like, psh, whatever bugs.

gotta toe the company line i guess.

btw I had this really weird dream that you Jenn and I were all living in the Bay Area again and that the two of you had separate apts. over Fat Slice, near where I was living, except Fat Slice was now in a really bad part of Oakland.

[lostintransit]

...what happened in the dream that was so weird?

fat slice is in oakland? or was this part of the dream.

[efffthatnoise]

well it was like fat slice in the middle of people's park, which itself was transplanted into oakland

you didn't make an appearance I don't think and Jenn was like talking to her neighbors about radio r&b while I watched silently

Radio r&b? Not these days. But "our song" that I heard last night was 50 Cent's In Da Club, btw. It always reminds me of that time we tried dancing to it at the Cat Club.
