there’s this book and movie called Heaven Is For Real, which is basically a Christian inspirational true story about a young boy who dies, sees Heaven, is revived, and tells his family about it. which, honestly, I’m fine with. the kid probably made most of it up because he liked the attention his...

We’ve told people that avant-garde theater is not for everybody. We could do more of what the fashion industry does—they make avant-garde fashion something you want to see. You may not want to wear it, but you want to see it and experience it. So if theater could figure out a way to convince people that unconventional forms are exciting. “Oh you might get bored by this? That’s exciting!” The idea that the play or the performance is supposed to solve everything for you in the moment is insidious. No, it’s supposed to offer you a conversation—after. To me, performance is about inspiring people to do things. The time that you’re sitting in the theater is about giving you context for what you’re going to do after—it’s not the thing. I think that’s all theater artists really do.

Observancy is a dying art. The essence of dramatic form is to let an idea come over people without it being plainly stated.

I don’t know, Stanley

like, I’m sympathetic to your position here, but I also like the Grand Guignol, and also wasn’t there a scene in The Shining where rivers of blood surge through the doors of an elevator and rush like rivers toward the camera

I think where we run into trouble here is “the essence of”

well there you have it there are some thoughts I had about a thing Stanley Kubrick said which I typed up while waiting for the second layer of some bar cookies to finish baking

With the arrival of two new employees, I now work inside a Cathy comic strip. And every morning I commute an hour to get there. And then I try to do creative work.

I didn’t see this conversation between a FOX Sports reporter and San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, but I imagine it went something like this:

Reporter: “Is that real? Or is it some kind of crazy meta joke? Please say it’s real. Please say you’re sincere. Dear God that thing is enormous. Is this like when Brooklyn girls started wearing Long Island grandma glasses for a while? Oh man, Philip, I want this to be real so, so bad. Please don’t be a joke. Please tell me this is real.”

Rivers: “We’re just out there every Sunday, giving it 110%, trying to make plays. This week we came out on top, and we’re looking forward to heading to Denver.”

For Christmas, I would like:

A theatre with polite and conscientious patrons Children that cover their mouths when they cough all through the performance A train with children that don't scream on top of the noise of the transbay tunnel For Christmas to go away. When you haul your saturated carcass out of whatever dive you ended up in today, Santa, I would appreciate your help. Also, new bike. Sam
