at the supermarket.
- me: why is this hot chocolate so expensive?
- mom: because it's PREMIUM hot chocolate.
- me: yeah, but that's just advertising. if the label said it came out of a unicorn's butt, would you still buy it?
- mom: yeah. maybe.

“ Every writer should aim to read at least as much as he writes — to feel, at the very least, you are in someway advancing the pursuit of ideas rather than offering something redundant to the hundreds of thousands of books published every year. And that’s true for anyone on the Internet.
“ Young people may regret tomorrow what they make public today but I think we will all be protected by the doctrine of mutually assured humiliation (I won’t dig up your college-party picture if you don’t dig up mine).
“ They do not create their own art, so they define themselves by what they consume.
1:1 Ratio
A 1:1 ratio of experience to writing means that you’ve become an efficient journalistic machine: nothing you do ever goes to waste. Every single thing you experience gets written about somewhere. It doesn’t have to be experience in the real world; it almost seems like I write, now, about every website I visit too.
Now, a good writer should be able to make anything — even his doubts about writing! — into good grist for his mill. But warning lights should start flashing when you find you’re hardly experiencing anything new because you’re so busy writing entertainingly about the few things you do still have time to experience.

LOST filming locations
Lost is filmed on Panavision 35 mm cameras almost entirely on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The original island scenes for the pilot were filmed at Mokulē’ia Beach, near the northwest tip of the island. Later beach scenes take place in secluded spots of the famous North Shore.
Cave scenes in the first season were filmed on a sound stage built at a Xerox parts warehouse, which had been empty since an employee mass shooting took place there in 1999.[27] The sound-stage and production offices have since moved to the Hawaii Film Office-operated Hawaii Film Studio,[28] where the sets depicting Season 2’s “Swan Station” and Season 3’s “Hydra Station” interiors were built.[29]
Various urban areas in and around Honolulu are used as stand-ins for locations around the world, including California, New York, Iowa, Miami, South Korea, Iraq, Nigeria, United Kingdom, Paris, Thailand, Berlin and Australia. For example, scenes set in a Sydney Airport were filmed at the Hawaii Convention Center, while a World War II-era bunker was used as an Iraqi Republican Guard installation.
Also, scenes set in Germany during the winter were also filmed in a relatively regular Hawaiian neighborhood, with just crushed ice scattered everywhere to create snow and German automobile signs on the street were used.[30] Extensive archives of filming locations are tracked at a repository at the Lost Virtual Tour.
