Para Erasmo, que un dia como tantos pero ya algo añejo, platicando sobre mi preferencia por la ciencia ficcion y la suya por la magia y la ficcion historica, me suelta un repentino “todo tiempo pasado fue mejor”—puñalada en la espalda para alguien como yo, irremediable optimista y tecno-utopizador de futuros.

El texto dice:

“Vamos a la mitad de la hora nostalgica, llamenme anticuado, pero realmente siento que ya no es tan buena como cuando empezamos.”

You’ll have to excuse me but the meme just bit me. This blonde joke is wonderful.

Everything2 is a strange, addictive website that’s been around for almost 8 years now and still feels as disorientingly original as when I first found it. It describes itself as “an online community with a focus to write, publish and edit a quality database of information, insight and humor,” but I just chanced upon a better description: Everything2 is sort of a Wittypedia. No, really. You want something witty about Michael Spivak? About double penetration? About this quote, this poem, or this phrase? About lust? About Ghost in the Shell? About whores? About sex games? About beautiful, cry-worthy things? About language? About orgasms? About flaunting your sexuality? About menstruation? About growing old? You now know were to find it.

Please! Refrain from speaking or any sort of communication that could ease the time. Limit yourself to look stupidly astray and ignore the fact that you are sharing space and time with other fellow human beings.
