lunch today + gif

RANDOM:

1. today’s lunch was organic gummi fruit salad and almonds.

ADULTHOOD, SUCCESS, ETC.

2. i drew every day this week and read the news! resolutions in effect. only did crunches twice and stretches four times and walked clyde once BUT whatever.

3. also trying out not wearing bras.

4. i took this “what age are you really?” quiz (twice) and each time got “27 going on 45.”

mcfly-huh

what does it mean, why so accurate-insulting. the answer that i couldn’t really argue with:

You’ve been invited to a friend’s birthday party at a bar and it starts at 9:30 p.m….

You think, “Oh my god what is wrong with this person why so late???” But you still put on a good face.

 


10,000 ways that don’t work

“We’re just learning as we go, making adjustments, starting over, and misstepping. If we can embrace that -which is really hard, I know – life feels less like a rat race to me. I’m also working on using new language around failure. Thomas Edison is helping me: ‘I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’”
— from an interview with leigh ferrara, yoga teacher
(sidenote: when i was little, my grandfather took me to the thomas edison museum in menlo park, new jersey, which is SHAPED like a lightbulb [kind of], and where i bought a blue lightbulb shaped eraser.)

nothing worse

Posted: January 5th, 2014 | Tags: | No Comments »

from rolling stone interview with james murphy:

Well, fronting my band, in particular – I can only speak to that – was super fun. It’s amazing. Like, these are my best friends, and people liked our band, and we got to be uncompromising. It’s incredible. But it’s still being a professional rock musician, which is a little boring, because there’s so many expectations that I do take seriously. In other words, you make record. You finish record. You make video. You pick single. You go on tour, which takes a really long time. You do interviews. It’s basically a two-year process to do an album, within which you have very little life. And it was the best job imaginable, but as soon as I started to complain about it, there’s nothing worse than a person in a position that other people envy, complaining. When someone says, “Why don’t you just quit if you don’t like it?” that’s a fair enough thing to say, and I’m one of those people that always said that when rock stars bitched. So, take my own advice, you know? [Laughs]

Shut up and play the hits poster

“people seem to think that me, or we, or the people in the band, are exceptional, or differently exceptional in some way. or like, more talented. or there’s something special. where, for me, the whole goal of the band,  or a big huge part of the band, was just getting rid of as much of that as possible.”
