Brennan: I'm... quite strong.
Booth: Yeah, well, you've always been strong.
Brennan: You know the difference between strength and imperviousness, right?
Booth: Well, not if you're going to get all scientific on me.
Brennan: Well, a substance that is impervious to damage doesn't need to be strong.
Booth: Hmm.
Brennan: When you and I met. I was an impervious substance. Now I'm a strong substance.
Booth: I think I know what you mean.
Brennan: A time could come when you aren't angry any more and I'm strong enough to risk losing the last of my imperviousness. Maybe then we could try to be together.

at this moment, i am just "good enough to dream." (roger kahn?)

(i'm so proud of myself)

i think chuck and sarah grow up to be phil and claire dunphy.

my textbooks are here!

first time i've said that in four years. :)

donald glover interview from av club (yay, post 1000)

AVC: Also on your special, you mention that it’s a great time to be a black nerd. What is your nerdiest quality?

DG: I don’t know if this is a nerdy quality or just something left over from my uncle’s alcoholism, but I get obsessed with things very easily, things that don’t matter. I think that is a very nerdy quality to be like, “Oh this thing! I love it and I’m going to learn everything about it real soon.” I think that’s not just a nerdy quality, but people who achieve a lot, that’s something that helps them achieve, to be like, “Oh I like this thing. This thing is really cool.” When I found out about stand-up, I was like, “Why am I not doing this every night?” I must have done it every night. I would get out of 30 Rock and run to this place called The Creek in New York and run to UCB [Upright Citizens Brigade]. I was running everywhere, because I was like, “There’s all these venues and I can perform there for free!” I got really nerdy about it. Also, I was really into Sailor Moon as a kid, so that was pretty nerdy. I loved Sailor Mars. That was my thing. You know that weird teenage thing where you kind of dabble in, “What if you could make a cartoon real? Maybe she could be my girlfriend.” It was sadness.

did not know rob thomas (veronica mars) was trying to turn the brothers k into a show for imagine entertainment in 1999!

the showrunners, p. 205.

how come every novel i read (which is admittedly not many) uses a bumper sticker for characterization? i feel like car make says more


also, jonathan franzen's 'freedom' is such a white person story.

done.

time to put my head down

you've probably already seen this, but...

presently stuck on (in a good way)

Draw the art you want to see, make the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read.

and "Do good work, and put it where people can see it."

and "Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”

10. Creativity is subtraction.

It’s often what an artist chooses to leave out that makes the art interesting. What isn’t shown vs. what is.

In this age of information overload and abundance, those who get ahead will be the folks who figure out what to leave out, so they can concentrate on what’s important to them.

Devoting yourself to something means shutting out other things.

What makes you interesting isn’t just what you’ve experienced, but also what you haven’t experienced.

The same is true when you make art: you must embrace your limitations and keep moving.

Creativity isn’t just the things we chose to put in, it’s also the things we chose to leave out. Or black out.

backhand!

he's basically an evil genius. you would like him.

Tell Me a Story
by Robert Penn Warren

[ A ]

Long ago, in Kentucky, I, a boy, stood
By a dirt road, in first dark, and heard
The great geese hoot northward.

I could not see them, there being no moon
And the stars sparse. I heard them.

I did not know what was happening in my heart.

It was the season before the elderberry blooms,
Therefore they were going north.

The sound was passing northward.


[ B ]

Tell me a story.

In this century, and moment, of mania,
Tell me a story.

Make it a story of great distances, and starlight.

The name of the story will be Time,
But you must not pronounce its name.

Tell me a story of deep delight.

finally the twitter homepage looks like something adults should be using. hurray
