Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.
Eustace Budgell
I’ve been thinking about this quote a lot lately. It really resonates with me on a deep level. I don’t say it nearly enough, but I feel truly blessed and I am beyond thankful for those who promote the good and happiness in me and in my life. You, my friend, mean the world to me. Just sayin’.

Post reblogged from this isn't happiness.
- I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
- I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
- I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
- I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
- I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Yesterday I did something that I’ve never done before: I snuck into a movie.
I’d just paid for and watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was excellent by the way book fans, and then slipped into The Artist, which was as amazing as everyone says. Seeing as I’d paid $13.50 for a film that would have cost half as much in the ‘burbs to go see (or that would’ve been if I were SAG), I felt obliged to get my money’s worth.
My question is this: How common is sneaking into other films? Do you do it? And if you do, how often?

Me: One ticket to Red Wings please.
Clerk: Excuse me.
Me: One for Red Wings
Clerk: (smirking) You mean Red Tails?
Me: (whispering) That’s the black one, right?
Clerk: Yes.
Me: Do you take this coupon? -
This photo really resonated with me. (I wish I could take credit for taking it). It accurately depicts the all too familiar post-show phenomenon comedians experience, the Superman-to-Clark Kent transformation that happens on the commute home. #realtalk

Quote reblogged from Hannah's Theatre CollageWhat’s different about Radiolab (and what I think is changing about the web) is that it *is* a production, just one of a very new kind. Radiolab is actually post-blog and post-livestream. It’s not aping the oratory of old or the raggedness of the new. It’s a hybrid that takes lessons from the past, recent and deep. That’s where I think web journalism is headed, too. “No one wants to read a 9,000-word treatise online,” reads a telling line from Sullivan piece. “On the Web, one-sentence links are as legitimate as thousand-word diatribes—in fact, they are often valued more.

After two and a half years I’m saying goodbye to my sofa bed.
…and hello to a bed-bed.
While my bed does not resemble this hamburger bed, it will be equally as delicious. Mazel tov to me!
