I had a bunch of ideas for what that song could be, but I didn’t feel it was right for me to give Ryan a song to give to Michelle. And so I gave him a challenge and let him pick out a song for her. Ryan has a great taste and the song he picked out was You and Me by Penny and the Quarters. And I thought it was just great. So I told Ryan to keep the song a secret, and never share it with Michelle until we were shooting. So the day came to shoot the scene, Ryan had the song in his back pocket, and we captured the real moment where one person gives an other person the gift of music. The gift, because it came from Ryan, was personal. Michelle was touched deeply by it. What happens on the screen is a real, living and breathing, intimate moment.

I don’t like love stories. No way. Except this one. Though instead, Blue Valentine is a falling-out-of-love story. And let me tell you, it broke my heart into a million tiny pieces. I wanted to scream and say no, don’t ever fall out, don’t ever give up because love is such a beautiful thing and you found it when all of us over here never had the chance to hold on to what was real. It bloody murdered the cynic in me. Flashback, juxtaposition, and shaky camera sequences have never been so masterfully done in a film. I can’t watch this again. I don’t think I could take it.

All Those Friendly People | Funeral Suits

you never answer on the phone
with your nicotine lips and your heart of stone
i look for you by the underpass
looks like this love was never meant to last

I don’t know if I deleted this ask from my inbox or maybe it was sucked into cyberspace oblivion because of the shitty connection back at the hotel. I wanted to say thank you. Your comment brings me joy.

Sunshine | Little Dragon

Waited five seconds,
soaked in some magic,
Come across
To transform my every loss.

I used to have a bottle within reach whenever I’d feel this down, but who wants temporary amnesia when I have Litte Dragon on repeat?

Youth | Daughter

and if you’re in love, then you’re the lucky one
because most of us are bitter over someone
setting fire to our insides for fun
to distract ourselves from ever missing them
but i’m forever missing him

Last night: Sometimes I have to hear things out loud so I know I’m not just hearing them in my head. Instead of plugging my earphones into my laptop like I usually do, I play music from the speakers instead, especially at the dead of the night like right now. It’s 1:20 AM and I’m listening to a cool mid-tempo track by Goldroom. I’m wishing I had internet connection now so I can post this song on my tumblr. I want that piece of routine back to restore a sense of normalcy. In the absence of that, I’m imagining the clearing in the woods by a stream full of tadpoles where I had my last photoshoot, wondering how it looks like at night. I had just pried myself away from a Murakami novel. It left me with a blanket of wonder and mild stupor after I had let my imagination unfettered as I read. His novels have that certain effect that remains long after I’ve put my Kindle aside. The strange situations and unfamiliar pieces of art that were in the story all but pushed me outside the walls of my mind and made me create my own version of things with my own translation of the details and descriptions. I don’t remember feeling the slightest bit of fear from reading. After all it’s all I ever do, read until I run out of books. This is different. Perhaps the strange feelings come from being away from fiction for a while, and my re-acquaintance with it caught me off balance. Meanwhile, I’ll dispel any undefinable discomfort I feel and shoo away the image of the woods at night by passively listening to some chillstep.

Are you considering the possibility of going to Law school?
