“We wake up everyday with a list of wishes, and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true. But just because we want them, doesn’t mean that we need them to be happy.”
—Ned, Pushing Daisies (via quote-book)
Preach, Ned.
Natalie Piegari, I want to be you.

Two things.

2. It totally made my day. :] Thanks, bb.

calarts.edu
CalArts is the first U.S. higher educational institution to offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in both visual and performing arts. It was established in 1961 by Walt and Roy Disney through the merger of two professional schools, the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, founded in 1883, and the Chouinard Art Institute, founded in 1921. CalArts moved to its permanent home in Valencia in 1971 and added degree programs in dance, film and theater to those in art and music. A graduate writing program was subsequently created in 1994.
Since its founding, CalArts has been recognized internationally as a leader in every discipline in which it provides instruction. Its faculty and alumni have defined, and continue to extend, the very forefront of creative practice as we know it today.
This is really cool. Never knew the Walt Disney Concert Hall (my virtual home away from home — I subscribe to the Los Angeles Philharmonic) was originally slated to be the campus…
There is a REDCAT (CalArts) theatre at the WDCH. Now I know why. :)
I AM HUNGRY
I haven't been to one in a year.
Somebody, take me to a concert?
I am so anxious right now I feel like I’m buzzing all over, HOLY SHIT.
your move.
I’m trying. I really am.
I have no sense of community lately.
It is terrible and disconcerting.
“I’ve never had anything bad happen to me; I’ve never had my heart broken; I’ve never had any drama; I don’t have anything gut-wrenching to use. Ian is a brilliant director: He’d place one thought in my head, and I’d have a whole spectrum of stuff to mess about with. He said, ‘Build your own world; don’t use your own life.’ I made a book full of quotes, pictures, and poetry for Nina, as if it were my university thesis, my qualification for playing the part. I can only invent by drawing on what other, brilliant people have written that I can’t write or articulate as brilliantly, and when I read it, it becomes my own.”
—Carey Mulligan
Shit.
MILK AND COOKIES
TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW
Zzzzz.
Play
tumble and fall
I would like my brain to turn off so I can go to sleep, please.

“ … that intelligence was trying to teach our planet a lesson, to wit: it is better to be small, colorful, sexy, careless, and peaceful, like the flowers, than large, conservative, repressed, fearful, and aggressive, like the thunder lizards; a lesson, by the way, that the Earth has yet to learn.”
—Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”
—Steve Jobs (via quote-book)
Nervous.
