The Prep School Negro. I really wish I could’ve caught a screening of this. This looks really interesting, but I hope that people don’t try to universalize what seems to be a very personal story. h/t Shadow and Act, which also discussed the film here.

Being focused at 21 is way over rated. Now is the time to screw up, try as many different things as you can and just maybe figure things out.
The thing you do need to do is learn. Learn accounting. Learn finance. Learn statistics. Learn as much as you can about business. Read biographies about business people. You dont have to focus on 1 thing, but you have to create a base of knowledge so you are ready when its time.
You will never know when that time will come. But you can be ready when it does.

I need to man up and try making this in 2010, without the famous mix.Another greatest hit recipe of the fall, and one we’ll definitely make again, is this labor-intensive but ridiculously tasty: Buttermilk Fried Chicken, from Thomas Keller, of French Laundry fame.
We have made a lot of dinners as a couple, but neither Liz and I can think of one that got the rave reviews this one did. We have since used the brine recipe in here for a Thanksgoween turkey, and it was almost as delicious! It’s somewhat time-intensive, but most of that time is the nearly 24 hours that you’re supposed to brine the turkey, so it’s a lot of untended hours.
Here’s a link to the full Recipe (via epicurious), but if you’re curious, these are the ingredients.
Brine:
24c water
1c kosher salt
1/2c + 1T honey
18 bay leaves
30 unpeeled garlic cloves
3T whole black peppercorns
5 large rosemary sprigs
11/2 bunch thyme
11/2 bunch parsley
2T finely grated lemon peel
3/4c lemon juice
3 31/2pound chickens
Frying:
6c flour
5T garlic powder
5T onion powder
4t paprika
4t cayenne
1t black pepper
4t kosher salt
6c buttermilk
12c peanut oilPosted on December 18, 2009 via Jacques of all Trades with 4 notes

Contempoary international relations is moving toward a state of entropy. Chaos and randomness abound. Now, the story of world politics unfolds without coherence, unfettered by classic balance-of-power politics, a plotless postmodern work starring a menagerie of wildly incongruent themes and protagonists, as if divinely plucked from different historical ages and placed in a time machine set for the third millennium. We live in an era in which unprecedented globalization and economic interdependence, liberal-democratic hegemony, nanotechnology, robotic warfare, the “infosphere,” nuclear proliferation and geoengineering solutions to climate change coexist with the return of powerful autocratic-capitalist states, of a new Great Game in Central Asia, of imperialism in the Middle East, of piracy on the high seas, of rivalry in the Indian Ocean, of a 1929-like market crash, of 1914-style hypernationalism and ethnic conflict in the Balkans, of warlords and failed states, of genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur, and of a new holy war waged by radical Islamists complete with caliphates and beheadings reminiscent of medieval times. In short, we live in a Thomas Pynchon novel.
