discovered this amazing little website of a magazine called found magazine. it's foundmagazine.com, and it's basically this beautiful collection of discarded notes and postcards and photographs that people have found and sent in. So there are all these wonderful items, and they're like little snippets of peoples' lives that have just slipped into your hands. It's beautiful and poignant, and makes me remember how many of us there are, and how many delicious stories there are out there. when you pick them up, it's sort of as though you've just had a very brief daydream, or read the first three sentences of a novel then getting distracted. i love finding things like that. it used to be a hobby of mine, looking for discarded treasures. you know in Amelie? how nino collects pictures and such? Amelie is just like me, or rather, she is just like my innner self. the outer self is a lot louder. anyway, nino and his collections. that's sort of what this Found thing is like. i think i'm going to pick up on that hobby again. it was a sweet one. my two favorite pictures on the site so far are: a wrinkled piece of paper with the following words scrawled on it in pen "I WANT TO BUY YOU ALOT OF PRETTY THINGS AND SHYLY OFFER THEM TO YOU ONE AT A TIME"
:the other one i like is a 5 dollar bill, with this written on it in purple marker "here's 5$ Diana Drunk Put Jamba in Fridge We go sleep Bye Bye."
Yeah, i like that stuff.
