Twenty eleven.
Oh, 2011. You’ve been a crazy goddamned roller coaster, haven’t you? I’d swear I’ve never had a year so full of ups and downs. The ups have been high, but the downs…good God, the downs.
This will always be the year my band was invited to participate in one of Jason Webley’s amazing performance art happenings, and it will also be the year I found my neighbor...

In case anyone followed me because of a few posts that were recently featured on EffYeahNerdfighters, an official statement about the TFiOS leak:
I pre-ordered The Fault In Our Stars from my awesome local book store, so there is no chance that I will receive it early and post spoilers. Furthermore, I am not the sort of dickbag who would post spoilers, real or fake, all up on Tumblr, especially...

The Jot & Tittle
Me: I love that the dot on the letter i is called the "tittle."
Aaron: I love that there's a word for the dot on the letter i.

I went to preview of the ITP Winter Show today with Thierry and Cherien.
Naturally, we improvised a little iphone video with one of the pieces.
(‘Interactive WallLight’ by Dong Ik Shin, ‘Waltz No.2’ by Dmitri Shostakovich)
Awesome art piece, awesome video. Ronen strikes again!

Augustus: Literally.
Hazel: Literally?
Augustus: We are literally in the heart of Jesus. I thought we were in a church basement, but we are literally in the heart of Jesus.
Hazel: Someone should tell Jesus. I mean, it's got to be dangerous storing children with cancer in your heart.
Augustus: I would tell him myself, but unfortunately I am LITERALLY stuck inside his heart, so he won't be able to hear me.

My boss, who has an infant son named "Will": I should have given Will a cooler name. Like...Bubbles.
Me: That's weird, I follow the vlog of a guy who has a dog named Willy, and its nickname is Bubbles.
Boss: Whoa, really?
Me: Well, the dog's full name is "Fireball Wilson Roberts Green, aka Bubbles the Nerdfighting Puppy." You should have at least named your kid "Fireball Wilson."
Boss: Why didn't I meet you sooner?
