Goth culture/magic cards
GenX lifestyle (so much less angstful when living is cheap)
The 3rd world bazaar look (Chris coined that one)
clothing with paint on it that says "look, I am an artist"
Poetry readings
Two solitudes
My French has not improved much in the past while. I feel kind of guilty about it. I have not really been trying. Something tells me that I would tackle Hindi with more enthusiasm at this point.
Funny story that won't leave my head:
