Happy 116th Birthday, Frank Capra
(May 18, 1897 - September 3, 1991)

“Maybe there really wasn’t an America, maybe it was only Frank Capra.”
- John Cassavetes

“When I see a crowd, I see a collection of free individuals: each a unique person; each a king or a queen; each a story that would fill a book; each an island of human dignity.”

“Film is a disease. When it infects your bloodstream, it takes over as the number one hormone; it bosses the enzymes; directs the pineal gland; plays Iago to your psyche. As with heroin, the antidote to film is more film. “

Came to the basement of one of my school’s dorm building to get some work done. Usually when I come here I have an entire classroom to myself. I mean, it’s 10pm. But a guy just walked in. I thought he wanted something, but he was like, “Mind if I work in here?” I responded “No, go ahead,” but my little introvert heart is like “AHHH MY FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE!”

Now he’s sitting a few rows behind me, quietly working. I’ve never seen him before in my life. Just chilling with a stranger in a windowless classroom, late at night. No awkwardness here.

"Dildo brunch!"

“Dildo brunch!”

- some Northwestern student, hollering at me from their apartment balcony as I crossed the parking lot towards my car. I was too tired to give a response.

fishingboatproceeds:

Butler has uploaded a video of my commencement address to the class of 2013, which one can’t help but notice…is longer than the 12 minutes I so confidently promised. I sort of quit working the last month and did nothing but write this speech, and I couldn’t even get the time right. (I guess I read a lot faster alone in my basement.)

SORRY!

I’d like to thank everyone who’s shared the speech, especially the Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Galleycat, and Entertainment Weekly.

If you’d prefer to read the speech, you can do so here.

Hey Supernatural fandom,

Sorry to see you hurting. You were there for us when we cried our way through Christmas (and January, and February, and so on), so now we’re here for you, returning the favour.

Have a hug, and stay strong.

Love,
The Merlin fandom

This about sums up how I feel about the Merida changes.

I wasn’t aware of these changes and now that I am, I am extremely disappointed in Disney.

And props to the woman who did this video.

Well done.

Yes, but also, it’s incredibly disrespectful of Disney to take a design that took months or maybe even a few years to fine tune to perfection and mess it up. Merida doesn’t look like the girl on the right for a reason. And it’s the same with every other princess design. Base facial structures, body anatomy, weight and muscle tone, height, the particular size of her eyes in relation to her nose and her lips, how she carries herself, how her hair falls, what kinds of clothes she wears by choice and what she wears for ceremonies, her expressions, her props, the particular shade of her hair, the seams in her dress; everything about a princess takes a very long time to design and there is a lot of frustration in that process as designs are constantly rejected or refined, and she actually becomes like a friend to the artists because they want to do her justice, they want to tell her story right, and then Disney goes and changes everything?

it’s just rude.

Even my over-priced headphones aren’t making this night of writing any easier. And Northwestern’s library is closing. But I got a book to finish, 10 pages to go, another Starbuck’s frappacino in my bag, and 6 hours before I have to go babysit a bunch of strangers’ kids while some of my friends graduate from this thing called seminary. This semester needs. to. be. over.

Also, I’m coming to terms with turning 24 in just over a month. I feel like so many times at seminary I’ve been made to act and behave, and represent myself as older than I am that I’ve had to continually say to myself “You are 23.” I guess that’s why turning 24 doesn’t feel like a huge leap. Some people have treated me like I’m 30 all year.

“‘Life, eh?’ It says everything without having to say anything: that we all experience moments of joyful or painful reflection, sometimes alone, sometimes sharing laughs and tears with others; that we all know and appreciate that however wonderful and precious life is, it can equally be a terribly confusing and mysterious beast.”

I kind of want a summer boy. Then come autumn, I’ll ditch him. Also, I’m still looking for someone to go see Dylan Moran with in June. NONE OF MY FRIENDS KNOW WHO HE IS.

So I’m sitting in the Northwestern University student union, working on stuff, and there’s these three guys sitting across from me in these white globe chairs. Exactly like this one:

The three guys moved the seats together into a tight circle, facing one another, so from a distance it looks like this weird grouping of giant white balls with a cluster of legs in the center.

They’ve been pretty quiet, but just now two of the guys stood up and hugged. Not like, a quick hug goodbye, but a kind of prolonged hug. One of the guys looked young enough to be a student, but the other guy looked like he could be my father. Or at least uncle. I didn’t really think much about it until they parted, because the older guy was motioning between them, saying something about “religion” and “intimacy”. They they hugged again, for..like..a good six seconds.

And when they parted the older guy motioned again, and I couldn’t hear exactly what it was, but he said something like “The intimacy didn’t come from here (motioning to belly) but it came from here (motioning to chest)” and something about “real connections” and “identify the feelings”. And, unless I’m mistaken, he kept saying something about “religion” over and over. And then they hugged again, for a weirdly long time, before sitting back down in their balls.

It was just these two guys, repeatedly hugging each other for long periods, in the center of the circle made out of giant while ball chairs.

I’m just….I guess I’m just confused and curious. I hope he’s just a therapist, or counselor or something, because otherwise it looks like a cult gathering.
