    This American Life.

    I just caught this on showtime, never heard of the radio show and now I'm sad I hadn't. So I figured I'd share since they have the full first episode up on showtimes site:

    "At first it just looked like a picture of a bunch of lily pads, but then I started scraping at it with my pocket knife and the whole painting just sort of spoke to me," Schmidt said. "For the first time, I finally understand what Monet was trying to get across in her work."

    I've heard of it, but I'm from Chicago. Can be quite fascinating at times.

        It's about the lives of Americans. Pretty open ended, and that's why it's been going so long (the old Quantam Leap trick).

          Well, I mean. You could just click the link and figure it out, but yeah it's true stories about about people in America.

            The New York improv thing I've read about.

            I wanna be part of something like that.



            edit: Man, that was sad. I'd choose dreams.

            Wait. Would I? I'd choose reality.

            NO.


            ...

            What would you choose?
