I just finished this.
It was beautiful. I dunno if I’ve ever written it on tumblr, but I have a serious love for stop-motion and claymation. That (& Philip Seymour Hoffman) was the main reason why I was so excited about this film. It did not disappoint.
It’s about a lonely eight-year-old Australian named Mary who becomes pen pals with a forty-something obese man named Max with Asperger syndrome living in New York. The main focus of the film is their letters and their friendship, which lasts for about twenty years. It was a sad story, yeah, but it did have some humour and was well-written and enjoyable.
Visually, I think this film is perfect. The attention to detail was incredible. The colour scheme was black and white in the New York scenes and sepia tones in the Australian ones. The only other colours were bright, primary reds that really drew my attention and almost seemed to bring a bit of life to the otherwise drab scheme.
If you dig animated films as much as I do, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this film. It’s a little heartbreaking at some points, but it’s fixed with a very bittersweet ending.
I want to watch this

The title and picture may not be very appealing (it’s a long historical drama after all), but it’s soo good!
Ahh. Smokers.
I have such a love/hate relationship with them. I hate that they abuse their bodies (and in turn, abuse others with second-hand smoke).
And yet… they look real smooth when they puff up! Even an ordinary person becomes more photogenic when they light up.
The world might be a healthier place without any smokers but it would also be a lot less visually interesting.
I dream every night of what my life will be
but what do i want?
It’s like I’m forced to accept that some things will just never happen
and that’s what really scares me
doing something i don’t want to just because i have to
and it’s ridiculous but what other options do i have?
I need something to call my own
Somewhere i can just be whatever i want to be
and no one will say anything about my school
or my lifestyle and decisions
I just want to be somewhere not here

I got a job. My dream job, to be specific. I literally could not have asked for a better job just coming out of college. This job is exactly what I’ve been dreaming of for my first real official “job” since I started interning. I’ll actually be starting really soon, probably at some point this week, while I’m still in school, taking 20 credit hours. I’m going to be crazy busy, but it’s totally worth it.
I’ll be an assistant in the A&R department at Atlantic Records. I’ll get to scout bands, and potentially sign artists, while also working for three really talented A&R legends. I’ll be working with a long list of artists, including Death Cab for Cutie, Jason Mraz, Carolina Liar, Bloc Party, Lykke Li, Matt Hires, O.A.R. and that’s just part of the rosters of the three guy’s I’ll be directly working for…
I cannot begin to explain how fucking stoked I am. But it is because I really value this job more than anything that I’m going to stop talking about work pretty much completely on my Tumblr. I just don’t want to mix work with personal stuff, even though the music industry inherently does mix the two… I just want to keep the two as separate as possible for the sake of my sanity and my work. I just want to keep some level of privacy to my career and whatever projects I get involved in. It’s for the best.
I’m going in tomorrow to sign the contract. Wish me luck!
Wow that is so great! I am quite jealous lol. Good luck with everything!!
How is there not a tumblr dedicated to everything Bourdain? I would create one but this tumblr practically already does the job, hehe. Yesterday Erik asked me how he could get more followers and asked me why I have so many when all I do is talk about the same things like greasy food, Anthony Bourdain, and how much my life sucks. HAH.
please do, I love this guy
“Twentieth Century Fox is bringing the Japanese anime TV series “Cowboy Bebop” to the big screen, with Keanu Reeves attached to star as a bounty hunter traveling through space in 2071.” THR
CONFIRMED?This might be a rumor… Not sure if Reeves would do Spike justice… we’ll see, but get a good director and it’ll be fine. Corgi on the big screen? YES!
This is one of my favorite anime! Keanu Reeves is not a bad choice; I can see him as Spike. This better be good.

Future boyfriend, take note!
Welcome baotran. Your music taste seems to be similar to mines.
Thank you. You have great hip hop tracks on your site =).
Have you ever wondered in how many strangers’ photos you’ve appeared? You could be that irritating person who got in the way of an almost-perfect shot or just a wallflower in the background.
That chance capture of you could be in a frame perched on a mantle, or stuck on a refrigerator door, or sandwiched in the back of a book. You’ll never know.
Grab any one of your photos and there are bound to be some unknown figures in the distance, near or far. You’ve probably never given them much thought before. Yet, they are likely still out there… living, breathing and going about their lives not knowing that they have brushed with yours. You’ll probably never see them again. And if you did, you wouldn’t be aware of your connection.
It’s funny to think that when you have your own image reproduced, it means something. But through the eyes of a person who is unfamiliar, you’re rather indistinguishable. How far your image may have quietly traveled is a humbling thought.
I’d love to know to which corners of the world my photo has been carried. And I’d especially love to know what kind of story it accompanies.
