As for the Monoprices, they belong in a league of their own. Put simply, they live up to the hype. Highs were clean, mids sounded full and life-like, and the bass was punchy and clear. When I closed my eyes and listened to Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”, it was like hearing it for the first time all over again. I had always thought “soundstage” was just a term audiophiles threw around to confuse laymen but now I understand. It really sounds like there are instruments playing at you from different positions on a virtual stage.

Gerwig didn’t set out with a thesis about female friendship, but sometimes when she watches movies, she wishes “we’d spend a whole movie on the two friends as opposed to whatever plot machinations are going on.” For Frances, she drew from her relationship to a high-school best friend. “I always felt I loved her more than she loved me,” she says. “There was a very painful period where she got a new group of friends. They dressed as a pack of crayons for Halloween. I was like, ‘Fuck you, I’m dressed as Prince.’

But I also think about why I don’t keep a regular blog. I already log many hours in front of the screen. Blogging is also a performance, and like in the physical world, women are expected to conform to certain roles. I don’t need the anxiety of constantly monitoring my online persona. Sometimes withholding is more powerful than disclosure.

He was struck by [Gerwig’s] combination of “über-intellectual” and “every-girl connectivity,” he said, “which I find is very rare.”
“She intellectually understands what a lot of her problems are, as her characters, and yet is still incapable of overcoming those problems, which is something we all share and understand,” he said, “and she embodies that very naturally.”

Made for our ill fated Tahoe trip of 2011.
J.A.Yang has slummed it in the valley with the Wakefield twins; slumber partied with Huey, Dewey and Louie; joined Krakow in stalking Angela; and climbed every mountain with the Von Trapps.
