I hadn't realized that I haven't updated in almost a month. I've been really busy with school and work and I haven't had anything interesting to talk about. I'd been planning on updating when I'd been in Detroit, but I was to busy eating hamburgers and watching tv. (Seriously that is all I did, and Comcast is way better than Cablevision.)
Detroit is a crazy, crazy place. There is so much I could say about this, but I will only mention this. Detroit has a phenomenon called urban prairie where entire neighborhoods have been demolished and have reverted to their original prairie state. Feilds of wild flowers now surround the ruins of houses, factories and churches. This isn't the whole city, but its a sizeable part.
The other things that I've been thinking about include the crappiness of the fact that Apple doesn't make replacement iPod headphones and Trader Joe's doesn't live up to the hype.
I've been forced to buy replacement headphones that are pinkish-white, although they do fit more comfortably in my ears. I know it's a total lable-whore thing to worry about, but I'm not appreciating having to walk around the city with non-Apple 'phones.
Also Trader Joe's, meh. I will totally admit that I'm Whole Foods' bitch, but I'm not that impressed by TJ's. Their selection is way smaller; plus I have to stand in line outside. The lighting and decor are harsh, while the shelves are in varying degrees of disorder and emptyness. All of which contributes to a rather Soviet bread line atmosphere. And their claims of super-deliciousness? Completely unfounded. My brie was average, but the massaman curry was inedible. As if it needed another endorsement? (ex)MTV VJs love Whole Foods. Two years ago, I saw Carson Daly chatting up everybody in sight at the Columbus Circle WF, and yesterday I saw Matt Pinfield at the Union Square one. (It was totally him.)
