Myspace
2003-2008
Killed by Facebook and a dirge of sexual predators. Due for reanimation by Dr. Timberlake in the coming future.

My Childhood
1988- 2001
Animated TV series Action Man is cancelled after 2nd season. New after school hobby: nap-taking.

Hidden Treasures
1993-1995
A short-lived corn cereal that was filled with different flavors of fruit filling. Every puff looked the same, yet you could never be sure. Survived by a similar cereal that Trader Joe’s introduced around 2009, then again, several months later, discontinued.

“It’s not rocket science”
1960s-2011
I can’t think of anything more retro-sounding than “rocket science,” so I’m declaring this phrase dead. Survived by, in suggestion: nano-technology, macroeconomic finance, Anthony Weiner PR.

“When Cortes and his men reached the California coast in 1535, they recalled Montalvo’s account of a mythical island called California ‘at the right hand of the Indies,’ ruled by beautiful black women.”

SCENARIO. [GMT-4 WASH DC]

A wine bottle with two glasses for two guests. One half, the other fully empty. Yuengling lager of unknown proportion sits atop a coaster. Overturned spoon in front of a coin and a pillow covers wicker. House of Leaves is yet to be re-read. The blackberry is quiet, but the television speaks King of the Hill, whose white remote remains upright.
