What else could a decision be but the product of a combination of the present state of being, fashioned by the past, and the environment that a person finds themself in? From at least Hume onwards, many philosophers have understood that the only meaningful sense of free will is action free from…
【台北時事】台湾当局のまとめによると、東日本大震災の被災者への義援金が1日までに、官民合わせて計100億円を突破した。米国が 赤十字を通じて集めた寄付が3月30日現在で約99億円。人口が約14分の1の台湾が同規模の義援金を集めたことは「桁外れの支援ぶり」(日台関係者) で、台湾人の親日ぶりを端的に示している。
台湾では大震災発生直後から被災者支援の輪が広がり、外交部(外務省)が震災発生当日に1億台 湾ドル(約2億8500万円)の義援金を送ると表明。同月17、18の両日にはテレビ局などがチャリティーイベントを開催して寄付を呼び掛け、これまでに 約9億台湾ドル(約25億6600万円)を集めた。同部が把握していない寄付も相当程度あるとみられ、実際の金額はさらに多いとみられる。

Crystal Castles featuring Robert Smith, Not in Love
My boss is obsessed with Crystal Castles. Naturally, they were the soundtrack to today’s photoshoot.
Steven the Tailor in Foggy Bottom (DC) is the best that I know of. His prices are a little steep ($15 per arm or leg for minor alterations) but his work is spot on.
Thanks to Phil for this nugget and yes… dudes prices are steep. I can get both legs tapered and a hem altered for…
This little dry cleaner in Adams Morgan, 1856 Columbia Rd, does good cheap work. Tapered some pants for me at $15. Tapered jeans for $25. Hems are $10. Nothing amazing, but a good option. Appreciate the in by 9, out by 5, same-day dry cleaning too.
I’m relatively certain it was fate that ensured I had a brand spanking new pair of Klipsch IMAGE S4’s precisely 48 hours before Panda Bear’s ‘Tomboy’ was to change my life indelibly. See you bros and broads on the other side.

for my first semester of grad school, my roommate was a 20 year old NFL cheerleader whose middle name is Caramelita.
Sam had woken up a bit late since last night had kept him up most of the night. He had asked Santana to go to prom with him and the same night Santana had confessed to him some very unexpected things. He just wasn’t sure what to do now. Things seemed very complicated at the moment with Santana and…
Mike walked into the waffle house, seeing Sam waves and slides into the booth across from him. “Hey man. Have you ordered anything yet?” He orders a tea and gives Sam a small smile. He wasn’t sure what was up with the blond teen, but he seemed upset about something.
“Nope, I was waiting for you.” Sam said before waving the waitress over to take their orders. “I’ll have a stack of waffles and a side of bacon please” He said handing the waitress the menu. He knew he probably shouldn’t over indulge since he was still trying to get the head quarterback position but it was the weekend and he was hungry.
You have to stop being cynical and let yourself be excited for something at least every once in a while. I don’t think the buildup for WrestleMania this year has been anything great and there’s no match I’m salivating for but it’s a spectacular that anyone can enjoy. It’s like the Superbowl, only better.
Ontem, mais uma vez, faltou-me verdade. E não são verdades tolas, quais apontadas pela física, o céu não é azul. Não! São tantas máscaras, rebeldia selvagem sem pudor, corpo viril, corpo pelo corpo.
- A mim só existem flores roxas.
Dei-me ao medo, verdade crua, pecado de plano de fundo….
