Welcome to 1984.


In other news, it took the death of singer Elliot Smith for me to discover a.) that he even existed, and b.) that he made some very, very lovely music. It's sad that his death is what introduced me to his music.

Yeah, high school. A fun place. I don't like the comparison with the book that everyone seems to be making, because a bunch of stupid people whose bad decisions are overturned does not 1984 make.

Well, no, but it seems to be one in a string of bad decisions happening these days.

It may be overstating, but not an entirely off analogy. Eh.
