Remembrances of Things Current

The poster in the bus shelter's glass wall for How She Move reminds me that one of the scariest phrases in contemporary popular culture must certainly be "MTV Pictures Presents".

The distribution of anomalous large vertical windows on the bunkerish facade of the new UPenn dorm being built right next to the bus shelter reminds me that simulated randomness is the new symmetry. It's been the new symmetry for fifteen years (or is it twenty-five), so I'm not expecting any gasps for this insight. Like I said, I was reminded.
