When I complained to Theodore Sturgeon about trouble I was having with a scene, he looked at me and said,

"I give you permission to do it wrong."

Most liberating thing I ever heard.
Tell me a sentence someone told you that changed your life for the better.

Somehow I was able to get tickets to see Paul Mescal, Anjana Vasan, and Patsy Ferran in A Streetcar Named Desire in March. Pinching ourselves already!

Went to see Small Things Like These last night. I think Tim Mielants did a marvelous job bringing Keegan's novella to the screen. Cillian Murphy is wonderful in this. The film is a meditative, slow build, where most of Murphy's work is introspective and nonverbal. Some of his best work, IMO.

Hi all. Coming over from X, and I'm already breathing easier. Thought I should post something, so here's an early-morning photo of Victoria Street I took a few months ago while I was in Edinburgh for a few days working in the National Library.
