Yeah I'm over terrible 80s retro fashion especially because kids are taking the WORST PARTS OF IT (bad sunglasses, horrible fluro colours, ill fitting tight jeans, stupid hair) and ignoring all the fine 80s new wave stuff that looked awesome, but I am hating kids that age getting defensive and stroppy at me for mocking them, even more so.

I dunno, I'm thinking about things like pirate shirts and velvet knickerbocker pants... the more elaborate, elegant side of the new wave stuff. Duran Duran/Human Leage/David Sylvian kind of thing. Yeah there's people doing that too but not many.

I'm still ok with skinny jeans in other contexts

did they used to look better? were they cut different? i was wondering about this because i don't remember earlier iterations having quite the same ghastly effect (i.e. making skinny people look like famine victims and everyone else look like spongebob).

BARRY ROUBAIX (haitch), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:39 (sixteen years ago)

I'm actually ok with the cut of, say, the Levis skinny fit jeans, it's just the combo with the sort of oversized untucked plaid shirt (and the ray bans when outdoors) that I don't need to see anymore.

lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:39 (sixteen years ago)

is this a fad?

indie spare (electricsound), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:39 (sixteen years ago)

I wear skinny fit jeans because I think I look really dopey in straight fit, which I used to wear. Too much fabric flapping around!

44. Skinny jeans on guys that are deliberately designed with a saggy, hanging-down arse area, worn so the entire underpant butt area is visible.

BARRY ROUBAIX (haitch), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 00:43 (sixteen years ago)

more of an annoying thing than a fad, but it's another way for luddites to be all smug about how much they "don't need" technology. (nothing against luddites, just don't like the smugness. i don't "need" facebook either and i'm not impressed that you're not on it.)

just thinking about it because the chronicle had an article about a building which they described as being in a Mad Men style. It's just a building from the 60s.

espcially since "Mad Men" buildings look pretty sane

lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 01:10 (sixteen years ago)

Well, because we were talking about this parkway that would be needlessly extended and all the houses that would be torn down for it. And that relating to the bridge closure.

55) talking about urban planning with people

bamcquern, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 01:10 (sixteen years ago)

it made me wonder if it was closed for a significant period of time whether the hipsters of SF and those of the East Bay would become distinct from one another.

provates: feminine plural of provato (sarahel), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 01:10 (sixteen years ago)

Well kind of exciting, but kind of a logistical nightmare, although I didn't have it as bad as some, since I take BART counter-commute. Not a bridge-failure, but the recent truck crash was just pretty lousy.

i think a lot of what bugs me about the verbification of nouns is the corporate context of "productivity" - everything has to be turned into an "action" word. And it ties in with a sort of action-for-action's-sake type of mentality, where sometimes deliberation is the best course of, er, action.

oh, that bright sign is on 880 right as you hit San Leandro.

it's just... it works both ways. "fixing traffic" often means cultivating multimodal transportation (cars/buses/trains/complete streets), but multimodal transportation also needs support from the people if it's going to get any funding/political traction. if you use the roadways, you contribute to traffic. so think about your own part in all of it.

192. the fact that 1 our of 4 people who are in their 20s/30s and live in a metropolitan area is a "DJ". Add to that the fact that these self-proclaimed DJs often play music that can't be beatmatched, so they are basically just crossfading new age, krautrock, or whatever the latest bargain bin music fad is) in front of an audience of 20 people and walking around claiming to all their friends that they are a DJ.

Two questions arise:

I met a 20 year old girl who said she wasn't on Facebook and I think she thought it was a virtue, but it wasn't annoying or very braggy. People mention it in conversation. I guess it seems a more pertinent comment than the I-don't-have-a-tv comment, because people have grown up with tv usually and know what it is, but Facebook seems more of a trend, like, "I haven't tried it yet, this is why." Some people blurt things out. This was a very talkative girl.

Facebook itself is fairly safe, as near as I can tell. Dig into your settings, set your defaults to nothing, go "black" as they say on FB (meaning not even your name can be clicked), and you're pretty secure. FB apps are another story entirely. I don't use any anymore. No quizzes, no games, none of that shit. It's not the data mining that bugs me, it's the lack of control I have over it. Fuck all of that until they fix it.

re: zombies

Y’all should just follow my example and not socialize with people so much and stay in and stick to things that are classic like zombie movies. Pirates and ninjas (man, weird that there wasn’t a ninja cinematic revival, given how tied together those things were as trends) come and go, but zombies are all-time. So long as you don’t hang out with a bunch of fuckwits who are always “I got this great myspace flyer for a shamble."

I think a pure sandwich sandwich is a logical impossibility, cuz a sandwich must be a something-sandwich. Bread-bread-bread - bread sandwich. Bread-bread-bread-bread - double bread sandwich. Bread-bread-bacon-bread-bread - bacon sandwich sandwich.

That is, unless it's sandwiches all the way down.

So if you stand a loaf of bread up on its side... is there just an endless possibility of bread sandwiches within? Can it be used as a motivational tool sort of like "you are capable of anything"? It is up to you to choose how many bread sandwiches you make in life.

yeah Hurting, it was also weird because they didn't actually mean what they were saying - but the temptation to reuse this stupid joke was just too irresistable. it's similar to the trap that subeditors can fall into of being unable to resist making a pun or joke in a headline, which subtly alters the meaning of what they're saying and ends up misrepresenting the substance of the article underneath it.

progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 14:57 (fifteen years ago)

A comedian friend of mine once complained about other comedians' use of the phrase "So that happened" as all-purpose filler between jokes. It was interesting because, even though I'd never really noticed it before, I could see how it could become fairly endemic (and thus annoying) within that particular culture.

jaymc, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 15:27 (fifteen years ago)

I use "correct" all the time, esp over the phone, and esp with things that might cost me extra money like dealing with messed up utilities or business deals or w/e. Because a lot of the people on the other end may not speak English so fluently and it just seems clearer, more definite than "right" or "yeah" and less likely to be in any way mis-interpreted.

I can let it slide with bureacratic stuff I guess - it just sounds like you're setting yourself up as a judge: "correct, well done. You have positively aligned with my own opinion."

I also hate this, which I see ALL the time in Pitchfork reviews and Videogum and the like:

Something like:

"Bonnie Prince Billy puts out a lot of albums. Dude is prolific."

That drives me crazy.
