Born to eat Wing Stop, forced to eat vegetable soup at home. Saving every single penny for a downpayment and I've never been hungrier.

Directing really is just coming up with a random idea and then like four weeks later there's a crew of 40 people just ... dressing a tiny hamster in a cowboy hat or something ... because your brain convinced them all that that would be cool.

My favorite musician, Stromae, released his entire concert for free on YouTube. I was lucky enough to go to the LA show - fresh out of surgery & covered in bandages/tubes. I couldn’t even stand. But I couldn’t miss it because it was just that good. Goosebumps during L’enfer

Trying to explain motion interpolation to my dad in Russian after I made him go through the deepest bowels of the menu on his new Samsung TV to turn off “auto clarity” is the 9th circle of hell.

I often wonder this while contemplating my own mortality and its inevitability. And let's say I achieve success. What’s the point, if I’m going to die anyway?
I think I’ve found the answer. 🧵

How do I become so physically intimidating that random men stop coming up to me in the street? I swear, every time I hear “sweetheart why don’t you smile?” I want to transmorph into a tiger and bite their head off.

Some shit you need for your screenplay:
1. Normal life shit
2. Shit hits the fan
3. I'm not doing this shit.
4. Guess I'm doing this shit.
5. Fun shit!
6. Midpoint "oh shit" shit.
7. Shit goes sideways.
8. "Why'd I do this shit?"
9. Time to let go of my shit!

Tired of label-maker printed gear labels and wanna have my own custom stickers printed for marking gear. Any recommendations for ultra-heavy-duty sticker print shops?
