My name is Jordan. I moved to L.A. in April of ‘07, from Little Rock. I have a dog named Baxter. This is a blog about the stuff I pick up on the sidewalk of the internet.Tumblr (3.0; @pandemicsoul)http://pandemicsoul.tumblr.com/<a href="http://www.sweet-juniper.com/2009/06/streets-with-no-name.html">Streets With No Name | sweet juniper!</a>: <p><blockquote>This past winter, the snow stayed so long we almost forgot what the ground looked like. In Detroit, there is little money for plowing; after a big storm, the streets and sidewalks disappear for days. Soon new pathways emerge, side streets get dug out one car-width wide. Bootprints through parks veer far from the buried sidewalks. Without the city to tell him where to walk, the pilgrim who first sets out in fresh snowfall creates his own path. Others will likely follow, or forge their own paths as needed.</blockquote></p>http://pandemicsoul.tumblr.com/post/257052653http://pandemicsoul.tumblr.com/post/257052653Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:24:26 -0800<a href="http://www.ediblegeography.com/wrecked/">Wine from shipwrecks - Edible Geography</a>http://pandemicsoul.tumblr.com/post/257042598http://pandemicsoul.tumblr.com/post/257042598Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:12:48 -0800<p>I’ve decided to read the “Top 100 SF Short Stories” from some random website (<a href="http://bit.ly/JC37E">http://bit.ly/JC37E</a>).
