    American Psycho

    Esquire., One was my undergraduate thesis; one is something I adapted from part of my Master's thesis; and the third is a knowledge/theory dump of miscellaneous thoughts, emails and online chats I've had with some people about the text. Someday I ought to get serious and edit the work for a...

    Scary situations.

    9/11. Number two is something that I tend to repeat every few years: finish whatever I'm working on and throw all my stuff in a rented truck and move to a new city. But that's the good kind of scary: it's exhilerating and rewarding and keeps me from getting too bored, complacent, or apathetic.

    What sunglasses are you wearing?

    A pair of really poorly designed Ray-Bans. I forget the model name, but since I bought them three or four years ago I'm sure you can't find them anymore. Which is good: the plastic ends of the temples have scratched the hell out of the lenses and taught me a very important lesson. I've been...

    American Psycho

    Horace, thank you for your interest in my work. The articles are a bit long to post in a message, but shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll be happy to send you a PDF or two. I'd be happy to do the same for any other interested forum members as well. At a basic level it could be argued...

    American Psycho

    I guess I'm a bit late to this party. Anyway... I liked the novel well enough to write a couple of articles on it, and I could go on for hours discussing the ins and outs of violence, consumption, sexuality, and fantasy. I can't speak for anyone else, of course, but a good measure of what I...

    Happy birthday

    I was thinking the same thing myself, Steve. For me, it's just another day. I'm much happier to celebrate my specific accomplishments than I am to inflate a day that, in reality, I had very little to do with. (Thanks, mom and dad. For everything.) Nonetheless, thank you for your warm wishes on...

    Bluefly Code

    8K3WC9V = free shipping, valid until 5/24. 8KRFDYP = 10% off, valid until 5/22. Apparently these codes are not exclusive. The initial 15% off code I posted has been used at least three times to my knowledge. YMMV.

    Riedel stemware

    Out of curiosity, what's the verdict on the (seemingly countless number of ) special glasses for liquors like Scotch, bourbon, whatever? I'm no hardcore connoisseur, but if I'm paying top dollar for my booze is it worth my while to pick up a dedicated glass or two?

    Confused college student

    Agreed. I'd second the recommendation on outlet shops, and also recommend thrift stores and eBay/Bluefly. Or maybe you've got an older relative who you can convince to give you a couple of items? If you're bridging college with job interviews, take advantage of the first time customer deal at...

    Chicago Vs. NYC

    Wow, I should really log on at work some days. Projects can totally get put on hold for a discussion about my current home (NYC) and my future home (Chicago). I'm moving to Chicago in August to do my PhD at Northwestern (I declined U of C; I've no interest in spending 9 years working on this...

    Hoodies

    Yeah, my Carhartt hoodie is definitely the first thing I grab when I'm doing thugged out stuff like changing the oil in my car or cleaning the apartment. God forbid that anyone should ascertain my identity when I'm scrubbing the toilet.

    BJEV9VY 15% off, valid until 5/19, probably single use only. Enjoy.

    What will be the embarrassing look of our time

    ~The "my gel was drying and I walked into a wall" look (basically all of the hair combed forward and then at the front of the face it goes straight up) i haven't seen this look in a long time. i think it died when ricky martin changed his hairstyle. We should be so lucky. It's alive and well in...

    Www.sartorialsolutions.com

    Rather than start a new thread, I'm dragging this one out of the archives to add my seal of approval. Of course, I am not associated with Carlo Franco or Chuck, but merely a damn satisfied repeat customer. I recently chose a Carlo Franco Signature tie for myself (pattern S13) and wore it for the...

    Thanks.

    iPod

    I've had one for almost three years now, and I love it. My praise is the usual: great design, easy to use, convenient as hell. I'd strongly recommend that you go into an Apple store, if possible, and play around with the different models. Mine is 15GB, which is quite enough. I don't have the...

    Best album for a Sunday morning?

    Yeah, I picked it up, but I agree with ken: the EP felt like a compromise between the technical insanity that Patton and DEP are capable of. Maybe more of a compromise on Dillinger's part, because the first thing I thought of when I heard Miss Machine was that Mike Patton had really influenced...

    How many hours a week do you work?

    Quite the opposite, actually. I work in advertising. I work so much because I have a very demanding client with a decent budget, and because my agency is severely understaffed. Simple as that, really.

    Best album for a Sunday morning?

    I usually start off with some triphop or jazz, but the more I read the newspaper and drink down the coffee the more agitated I get. By the time I'm ready to pay attention to anything outside of my little ritual, I've usually got on some hardcore. I've found that the best slow morning listening...

    How many hours a week do you work?

    Average week: 50 USA average: earlier respondants have said 40-ish, so I'll go with that. Peak: 120, when I was in grad school.
