And a bonus: Starting at 3:28, Prince’s incredible guitar solo in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the 2004 tribute to George Harrison. Also, this tweet.
It’s so surreal to think that I will not be coming back to this place on Monday or even in September. And although I know I will visit, it’ll never be the same.
I’m so overwhelmed that so many people liked yesterday’s post. Thank you.
There were a few things I wanted to blog about (like my last capstone paper and the Time 100 list) that I just didn’t have time for. #TeamNoSleep, but that’s what next week is for. Anyways, here’s what I read this week:
2. If you’ve ever been curious about how shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart get specific sound bites from news broadcasts and stuff like that, this is how they do it.
I think in some other life or alternate timeline I did something with plants because I. love. them.
A brief bit of unsolicited advice before I get to the link party: I just want to tell all of you that there is absolutely nothing that limits you from teaching yourself whatever you’re interested in and seeking out additional educational avenues. I wasn’t getting the writing experience I wanted from my academic classes or my job, so I took the initiative to start this blog and explore the things I wanted to talk about. The secret to getting started? Overcome the urge to be lazy. *drops the microphone and gets out of this bitch*
5. Not much to read on this one, but this scene from House of Cards is hands down one of the best in television history. Claire Underwood for president of the universe.
3. If you haven’t seen Too Many Cooks yet, watch it and read this.
4. I agree with just about everything in this commentary on reading new books. “‘To read the Iliad, claims Roberto Calasso in The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, is to appreciate that there is no progress in art. It’s hard not to agree. But that does not mean that everything has been done'” is my favorite quote.
