how to resurrect chrysanthemums
Truth be told, I haven't the slightest. I mean, if they were advertised as "hardy mums", can I go and ask for my money back? Shrivelled within a few weeks' time hardly meets my definition of hardy. That reminds me of the Demetri Martin joke about how he got a cactus plant and then it died a month later: "I was really depressed because I was like 'Damn! I am less nurturing than a desert.'"
I do this thing where I try to watch/read/listen to favourite things of people I find really interesting. Maybe that isn't that unique. I like to learn how others populate their creative head-space. Anyway, I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is awesome.
As a consequence of watching this, I am presently in love with Zachary (Zooey) Glass and think one probably needs to be high to appreciate Alphaville (or maybe I should try to get through more than 15 minutes of it? Alpha 60's voice sort of scares the shit out of me).
I've been trying to think of how I would answer the "art-gasm" question. Five things: Parade's End, Under Milk Wood, Wes Anderson, Ginsberg's "Kaddish", Arcade Fire's The Suburbs.
Have you seen the new trailer for The Hobbit? Am I the only one planning on live-tweeting the Emmys on three hour Benedict Cumberbatch-watch? I'm eagerly anticipating a lot of things! New Mumford & Sons, The Perks of Being a Wallflower premiere, a new film from the writer and director of In Bruges - Seven Psychopaths. Art-gasm, indeed.
Scott is in San Francisco this week, and I am just dying to go for a run, which obviously I cannot. Mumsie is popping in tomorrow night to watch the kids, so that will be a big help, but in the meantime I am about ready to start doing laps around the backyard. Bloody hell.
I have also been up to the following:
- searching for the perfect lentil soup recipe
- incessantly listening to "Miss Atomic Bomb" by The Killers and "Life" by The Avett Brothers
- missing hockey
- planning my Daenerys costume for Halloween. Wait, what?
- Oh, and:
