"Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him".
There you go, guys, I'll use that for inspiration when I'm low; or when I think that figuring out a strategy is gonna save me. It ain't.
Also, as a tangential thing, I kind of want to buy this:
My reasons:A) I need a new hoodie/sweater for day-to-day stuff and whatnot;
B) Barack Obama?
It's $35, which isn't that bad when you think about it, and the proceeds go to the campaign (yay!) and it's all made in America (double yay!). Am I getting a bit too into this? Did you know that Obama is left-handed? I'm left-handed! Match made in heaven?
Seriously, the outcome of this election is going to determine whether I want to live in America or Canada. And if I buy something and he loses? I'll still wear it with pride. There's this whole movement of change going on that's beyond just the one guy and the one election. For serious.
The Dark Knight is still the superior film to Iron Man, though to be fair, we should be comparing origin movies, not an origin vs. a sequel. And you know what? Batman Begins was better than Iron Man. In fact, I'm starting to think that Iron Man is kind of a bad movie, despite the Downey, Jr. and, um, the suit. Of iron. Worn by....a man. Give me complexity over a shitty soundtrack any day.
God I need to sleep. I'm craving...a reuben. A veggie reuben, which is with tomatoes instead of meat.
Also, I need to stop eating chicken every now and then.
