Also I want to point out that there are like two asian girls to date in the Mission. Total. Time to head over to Russian Hill/Marina. SMH.) mission girls –...

NY TIMES: The Sociology of the Hipster →
A year ago, my colleagues and I started to investigate the contemporary hipster. What was the “hipster,” and what did it mean to be one? It was a puzzle. No one, it seemed, thought of himself as a hipster, and when someone called you a hipster, the term was an insult.

Food For Thought: Meat-Based Diet Made Us Smarter →
Om Nom Nom: As we began to shy away from eating primarily fruit, leaves and nuts and began eating meat, our brains grew. We developed the capacity to use tools, so our need for large, sharp teeth and big grinders waned. From left, a cast of teeth from a chimpanzee, Australopithecus afarensis and a modern human. Our earliest ancestors ate their food raw — fruit, leaves, maybe some nuts. ...

Norwegian Wood
Memory is a funny thing. When I was in the scene I hardly paid it any attention. I never stopped to think of it as something that would make a lasting impression, certainly never imagined that 18 years later I would recall it in such detail. I didn’t give a damn about the scenery that day. I was thinking about myself. I was thinking about the beautiful girl walking next to me. I was thinking...
