Beautiful and inspiring video of Emily Haines escaping to Buenos Aires to write Metric’s new album (which I downloaded last week and it’s super; It was only $6.99 on Amazon… take advantage of that tiered pricing before it goes up).

// Everything is amazing and nobody is happy.//

A few very uplifting minutes of Louis C.K. on Conan. He’s ranting about how we take things for granted since the world is advancing at such a rapid and mostly-efficient rate. For example: One anecdote is about a guy sitting next to him on a flight who remarked “This is bullshit” when the in-flight Internet momentarily failed. “How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only ten seconds ago.” “We live in an amazing, amazing world, and it’s wasted on the crappiest generation of spoiled idiots who don’t care.

I know it may sound cynical up to this point (if you haven’t watched it), but seeing him sound so excited about how amazing it is to sit in a chair in the sky and get from NY to L.A. in 5 hours was just fantastic.

There are bullies on the playground and bullies in the workplace; it can be quite disconcerting to encounter a mature adult with 20 or so years of education under his belt who still sees the world only in terms of his own wants, needs and emotions: I want that so give it to me; I am angry so I need to hit; I am wounded so I must howl.
