Recommendations

if you should enjoy the content on my site, here's a list of things i enjoy; you might enjoy them as well

internet

• philosopher.life - warning, long page load; a log of life of a person with an interesting writing style (meant positively!) and a lot of content
• systemspace (warning, autoplaying music!) was an experience that i certainly have not forgot. (if you're a former migrant, come say hi!)
• corru.network. if you enjoy fauux (epilepsy/sound warning), angusnicneven, or systemspace, you'll enjoy this as well
• drew devault's blog is a bit less artsy than the last few links, but certainly makes good reading
• cyberia, which i am ostensibly a member of, and who are very cool people
• for more internet diving, check out peelopaalu, with a warning that their sensibilities are less easily offended than mine

media

anime

those who know me well know i cannot sit through a series; the fact that these appear here is a testament to how well they can grip you. mal links given largely so that i have a link to give - in a world without terms of service i'd give you a link to watch them through

• serial experiments lain, human connection, isolation, and the then-burgeoning internet
• sonny boy, coming-of-age done strikingly well; frequently throws entire curveballs at your expectations
• perfect blue is not perfect, but certainly comes close in its mind-twisting plot

music

• gregory and the hawk, who has been the soundtrack to all of the life that i can remember
• crywank, who similarly has given word and sound to all my simple teenage emotions
• starry cat and, by extension, any of teen suicide's related projects - low fidelity guitar recordings make my brain tingle
• etsuko yakushimaru - パラレル、パラレル、パラレル、パラレル、パラレルワード〜

literature

unfortunately, i am a child of the screen, and books fell out of my grasp with that, but i can strongly recommend house of leaves
