Philip Glass, man.
So chill.

Einstein on the Beach is sooooo goooooood

[LeoLeonardoIII]

When I fired up my browser today I noticed my Ambivalent thread was still front-page. I thought, "yeah man, that's all right. That's aaaall right."

And then I came in and didn't see a flame war or anything, and it was pretty decent.

But then I realized maybe it isn't going anywhere, you know? It seems like a pretty mellow deal, but nothing big is gonna happen.

[ein]

Nothing big will happen due to the nature of ambivalence.
But hey, why worry when you can be meh.

Einstein on the Beach is sooooo goooooood

Is that like, I dunno, Kafka on the Shore?

[Grakelin]

No, Einstein on the Beach is the 1976 Opera directed by Robert Wilson and composed by Philip Glass.

Man I really have no extreme feeling in any identifiable direction, but it is very intense and fleeting, when people start citing the year and author of works. Or director / composer / etc. Here, let's see if this works:

Alien, 1979. Ridley Scott.

How did that make you feel?

Meh.

But it makes me feel very meh. I don't know how to describe it.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.

I got on the computer to do my report, but ended up getting 11,000 in Google's Pacman thing. 

[smigenboger]

Extreme moderation is still an extreme, I believe.

Today is nice and chill. Would chill be similar to ambivalent?

We've actually been doing it wrong this whole time, but I've been too ambivalent about it to say so.

[Retro]

We've actually been doing it wrong this whole time, but I've been too ambivalent about it to say so.

Really, when the title of a thread about ambivalence ends with an exclamation mark, something's already wrong.
