i am logan

<-- this is stuff i like

this is my internet home base

this is a compilation of people's embarrassing emails that i edit, sporadically

this is a blog i kept when i moved to los angeles just after university and was angsty and directionless, and this this is the blog i kept shortly after that when i was no longer in LA, but still angsty and without direction. i try not to be so blatantly emotional on the internet anymore, but it's out there, so it's right here

What’s the difference between a million, a billion, a trillion?

A million seconds is 13 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

A million minutes ago was - 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago.
A billion minutes ago was just after the time of Christ.

A million hours ago was in 1885.
A billion hours ago man had not yet walked on earth.

A million dollars ago was five (5) seconds ago at the U.S. Treasury.
A billion dollars ago was late yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Treasury.

That certainly puts things into perspective.

i just spent two hours reading old "vows" columns in the nytimes. some observations:

—many people don’t fall in love for the first time until their 30s or 40s
—at the couple’s first meeting, one is usually indifferent and one is sure this is it
—even ivy-educated women hang around for years waiting for a ring
—if a man won’t commit, a terrorist attack or hodgkins disease have both been shown to do the trick
—a surprising number of women reconnect with ex flames after a divorce or death of a spouse. if i end up walking down the aisle as a little old lady with an ex boyfriend, stop me, because i’m surely senile

leanne shapton did one of the rfk portraits in the nyt yesterday. a look at her site shows she also did the art for noah baumbach’s kicking and screaming, and then also the squid and the whale. my brother and i spent a week stalking the video store to get this because we were told we had to see it. it was okay, a few gem scenes (oh, i’ve been to prague) but certainly not the best of the angsty post-university genre. i would suggest funny haha, mutual appreciation, quiet city, or hannah takes the stairs instead.
