Once upon a time Charlie Rose was my hero. Pre-internet, no cable, and he and NPR were the only ways I had of staying in touch with the larger world.
I'm still glad he's around, but I now realize he's very mortal. Quote:
--I recall Oliver Stone rolling his eyes at the 10,000th interruption. --An editor at the New Yorker, Adam Gopnik. "A writer needs three things..." He listed two before Charlie cut him off and changed the subject. I actually emailed Gopnik the next day to find out the third thing. Jesus fuck. |
Quote:
ha ha-- did gopnik reply? and what were the first 2 things? i loved one he did with jeanne moreau. because she put him in his place very quickly. |
^ Funnily enough, I don't remember the answer, so i guess it doesn't matter. This was years ago. A tribute to JD Salinger if I remember right.
Look it up while I look up the Moreau interview. What a cool chick. I'd still do her. |
i'd love to do that right now but i'm behind with work!

nice!
i wanna see suchfriends on his acid and hennessey trip |
Quote:
I live on mushrooms but when it comes to acid, i barely survive. Drank that entire bottle of henny to try and dull and/or mellow the doses no such luck. Indeed the acid was so powerful that the henny had like zero effect, normally if i drink that much im gonna throw up and go to bed.. |
Acid is like coke when it comes to drinking. You can just keep that shot going.
I had a trip myself a few weeks back. Shit was intense...more intense than usual since I dropped with my girlfriend. She had a terrible time. Sooo never again for her lol. I just missed an opportunity to do it at a lake house....:/ but oh well. I felt it was too soon. |
I've never dropped acid. I had a dream last night about it, coincidentally. I've always been a little curious about it.

"I dropped acid on a Saturday night, Just to see what the fuss was about, Now there goes the neighborhood" |
Acid is for kids.. its cool when you're an adult but the developed brain doesn't enjoy it as much as the less mature brain. For me, its the duration that gets me.. 10-18 hours is just too much.. if it were 3-6 like mushrooms cool, but on acid 3-6 hours is just the introduction phase.. there are hours still to go

Is that a double entendre, Rob?

Quote:
Do you not enjoy it because you're older or because you took it too many times when you were younger? I know a surprising (actually surprising) amount of people over thirty who take acid on the reg (a few times/year) and do so because they thoroughly enjoy it. |

Yeah, i understand that the time commitment is makes it a bigger deal. But what do you mean by hard drugs and the insinuation that other drugs are more appropriate for adults? |
Howdy!

do you actually think you're well dressed?
|
Ha ha, are you kidding?! Good God, no, man--how boring. I think I am "dressed," however, which is more than I can say for 90 percent of the population these days, unless you count pajamas, sweat pants, and Steelers sweatshirts as "dressed."
And since you ask, I feel compelled to give you a fuller answer. I am not well-dressed, at least, as an objective or as my normal mode of operating. I do feel, however, that I have style. There is a big difference between well-dressed and having style, and while one can do both, I tend to WANT the latter over the former. Here's why: Style requires versatility, consistency, and appreciation, and it can be challenging. It often pushes the boundaries of what we consider classic and timeless dressing, even the boundaries of being "well dressed," as you so simply put it. This is also what separates style from fashion. Fashion can be confrontational for the sake of it, fashion can push boundaries that do not need to be pushed, and it can be both fully fantastic and brutishly awful. I don't like fashion. I do like style, which, in my case, is based mainly in American "trad" or early Ivy League and some prep. SO... well dressed. Nah. That doesn't matter to me much. The well-dressed man is often in the same attire, day in and day out, safely wearing the conventional and the inoffensive. I am not that man. Some of my outfits are "safer" and more conventional than others. Some are complete failures, because I take risks, and yes, I am the first to admit it, I don't always know what the hell I'm doing. ;) But therein lies all the fun. I wonder how much fun the "well-dressed" man has? |
I like the way gmku dresses.

That coat gets more comments than anything I wear. My wife dislikes it, but out in the world, I actually get compliments on it. True story: I was wearing it this week, as shown in pic above, and a college girl walking down the street turned from talking with her friend to smile at me and say, "Sweet blazer!" I'll live on that moment for the next 10 years!
I wore it the next day and a bank teller told me she liked my "style... especially that jacket." It's by a brand I'd never heard of. E.J. Peake, but I've researched it, and apparently it was either a department store or a men's store, now defunct, most robust in the 1960s. This jacket is a two-button sack cut (meaning undarted) from around 1965. Three-button sack cuts, where the third top button is hidden under a lapel that rolls, were very common in the 1960s, but the two-button sack is a bit of a rarity and rather sought after by people like me who are into the old Ivy style. It has this cool silk lining with medallion imprints, a kind of sport coat lining that was common back then, hardly seen now. The fit is spot on, neither too tailored looking nor too boxy, and it's in perfect condition, as if it came right off the store rack--not bad for something that's almost as old as I am. I wear the heckfire out of it. I bought it from a vintage consignment shop for about $30--probably what it retailed for in 1965! |
That moment you realize you dress like Eric Matthews

The shrooms are "softer" in a way, they ease up softer, and they allow you to sleep after 3-4 hours, and you sleep well. LSd is more hard edged, comes in several different stages, and will keep you awake for 6-10 hours, depending on dose, and quality. adulterated LSD brings bad headaches, teeth grinding, anxiety and makes it very hard to sleep afterwards. Oh, and you sweat while you sleep it off..... acid sweats! |
