Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing the bat would watch
The guy though, she knew he would be back. He would be marked forever by this place. That hall. And that baguette that the girl had slipped on. Matilda the Bat was planning to die there. That young guy wasn't as attached to the apartment but he could never return...

Cheap tea and Long walks as reply to Re: Re: Friendship

Keni you're doing an amazing job of writing truthfully as GabrielGreco put.

Your account of University social life shows simply and beautifully the power of cheap yet priceless experiences. Intangibles rooted in the ordinary. Things that are seemingly accessible to everyone.

We spend so...

Highschool as fail-safe zone as reply to Friendship

Composition of my friendships match yours. Funny for me is that I probably would've never become close with my university friends had we met in high school instead.

Focus Requests

I've been chatting with brianball again and a thing that comes with this is a flurry of ideas. I actually don't like calling his ideas feature requests since it's inaccurate to describe his ideas as requests. They're more accurately food for thought. But...

In the future

I had this vision a few years ago when I was in Montreal. The subway in Montreal felt more depressing than in Berlin. The weather. The lighting. The architecture. And together all of it the people.

200 Words a Day
Welcome Brian Ball

Glad to have brianball give Adagia a shot. He and I have had many conversations, some of them lasting over an hour, back when 200WAD was in it's heyday. He was pretty pivotal in sparking many of the community initiatives back then alongside...

Frodo

I remember on our walks together I would often cite the example of Frodo leaving The Shire when the question of how we were spending our time came up. Both of us were away from family most the year, this distance becoming more normalized with each passing month, and I...

Notes Following a Walk
College Ghost Towns

If you walk on Jordan Ave. south of campus, look north and you can see the university library from across town. The elevation of the terrain and no trees covering the path, seeing it will amaze you at how far a horizon can actually be. Usually I don't notice this...
