Writing - Jiro Dreams of Sushi
I finally watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi tonight. It's a movie that won a number of awards last year, especially for its visual cinematography.
Sometimes, especially after having done a lot of work for a long stretch of time, I need to take some time or a few days to compress.

Quotes - Hayao Miyazaki - On Romance
Quotes - Hayao Miyazaki - On Romance
“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live– if I’ m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”

Quotes - Harvey Milk - On Love
Quotes - Harvey Milk - On Love
“Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call. Go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give you a sign because it might never come. Don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her, she’s not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.”
- Harvey Milk

Rants - Steve Albini - The Problem With Music
Rants - Steve Albini - The Problem With Music
THE PROBLEM WITH MUSIC
This oft-referenced article is from the early ’90s, and originally appeared in Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll magazine. While some of the information and figures listed here are dated, it is still a useful and informative article. And no, we don’t know how to reach Steve Albini.

Creux - Essence
Creux - Essence
Sometimes you write something that makes no sense. Actually I write a lot of things that make no sense. I have to toe a strange line between both being absolutely clear in the execution of my communication, but also give it a sense of artistic styling to convey how it should feel.
Sometimes I get it right.

Soap Box - Ford
Soap Box - Ford
I'm not defending Ford by any means, but every time someone points out the fact that he is fat, as though that is somehow the core reason for his main failing as a politician I somewhat want to throw up. Our society has made it alright to lampoon him based on his appearance, his level of physical fitness (or apparent lack thereof).
