I’d like to be writing the content that everyone links to in those media, instead of merely passing around links to other people’s work.

I feel similarly.

Happened to catch an episode of Detroit 1-8-7, a TV show I’ve never heard of, and though it was a fairly routine police drama, and though both of the intertwined and unrelated mysteries were predictably wrapped up by the end, I was impressed that one of the storylines dealt with urban exploration, “ruin porn”, and the decay/renewal of Detroit. It was like the show’s writers read the same blogs I do!

(BTW, it was episode 11: “Ice Man / Malibu”)

Currently in Mumbai. Nervous to go outside, given the news (Bin Laden Dead, President Obama Says), nervous to stay inside, discovered bedbugs in Stephanie’s mattress—she has 30+ bites on her forearms! 262 bites all over her body!!!
