The best thing about lately is that I have had more time to focus on making stuff. On the left, part of a watercolor print I made and taped into my sketchbook. On the right, a image transfer background, my photo of a field somewhere in northern France and a Rumi quote.
Here’s what I read this week:
1. I love Diane Keaton, and this New Yorker profile from the 1970s is fantastic.
4. I haven’t watched the new Daft Punk documentary because I don’t remember enough French to get by without subtitles, but this list of trivia mined from it is awesome.
Yesterday was one of my university’s annual fall events. Everyone lines up for free hot dogs, chips, drinks and ice cream. Predictably, it becomes a zoo very quickly. But it was a beautiful day, and people are happy about the free lunch so good vibes are abound.
You made it through the week, and now you deserve a few great things to read. Here are some of the things I read:
2. Steven Pinker, whose work I first encountered in a language acquisition class last winter, has a new book about grammar out. He doesn’t like postmodernists, apparently.
3. I love the entire Dirtbag series The Toast publishes, and they bestowed us with a new installment: Dirtbag Zeus.
4. This Rolling Stone interview with The Strokes is very old, but I saw it on Facebook and had never read it before. I still love The Strokes, but it’s funny how one feature article can change your entire perception of the subject.
