What do I like?
I don't like rhetorical questions. It's an interesting question though.
Here's a small list of words I like hearing people say:
Linguistic
Mellow
Quicksand
Fancy
Philosophical
Butternut squash


Where I get my information:
Morning news reporting is sad and funny, newscasters dialogue a weird creation of the news networks, and freelance journalist's blogs usually awesome.


In our information-happy society I've weeded out media I don't like; which can be difficult at times. Everyone does this. Yet many people have forgotten we can do this, and maybe need to have a stricter filter when they're slipping to reality TV and celebrity gossip news. I'm not alone in these thoughts.

There is a formula used for creating a gamut of emotions to experience during a movie, or towards any media that wants to keep audiences. I like to remedy my sickness from falling under the traps of commercialism or seeing the "must-see movie of the year" (which there are always several), by re-screening media through my filter. Comedy is an amazing invention because even though Portlandia and Daniel Tosh have drawn me in with their own formulas, they make fun of the culture around them, and that makes me happy.

I'll fixate on what I wish and -catch phrase- you should too.
