“Sir Francis, he was a figurehead of great courage and bold exploits. No one like him ever existed in my family. Why do you think I drink? Because I know I’ll never be like him.”
Wow, talk about a coincidence. I’ve felt so awful tonight, and this comes along. Worth sharing.
I really need to remember this.
I. Fucking. Love. This. Quote. It actually throws me from my bad moods.
I thought that was live action acting till he said Tintin and I realized it was animated.
kchgardens: Hi, my 5year old son and I have just watched the episode of Arthur in which you feature. Once it ended I told him that I have several of your books, he then patted my arm sympathetically and replied "I'm sorry Mummy, but he's not real! Its just a story!" I tried to explain but he remained adamant. He still believes in the Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas though!
Andy Daly had the idea of making a U2 podcast way before the creation of U Talkin’ U2 To Me? and now he finally is glad to present the very first episode of Me 2 I’m Talkin’ U2 To U Too! Joining Andy this week is Amoeba Records employee Allison Gondry to discuss U2’s first album Boy. They’ll talk about how they first were introduced to U2, the origin of the album’s title, and tease the next episode all about October. Later, Traci Reardon arrives to offer advice to her Twitter followers on how to make someone like BBQ sauce and much more in her recurring segment, “Help Me, Rhonda.”
‘Inside Llewyn Davis Soundtrack’ by Various I didn’t really like Inside Llewyn Davis that much as a movie but the music is actually super good. The whole soundtrack is my jam right now.
A little table to how to get rid of all that negative self-talk. We have to learn look at the good in situations too, instead of dwelling on things we can’t change- because you know what? We may not be able to change what is happening but we CAN change how we view it!
Anonymous: How far do you think someone can go with a career in writing, without having post secondary education under their belt? Do you need to go to school before you get a chance writing in the big leagues?
I went to college for Art/Animation, not writing. The only writing-related material I took were standard college-level English courses and a bit of script writing as part of a Film course I took.
No one has ever asked me for my writing ‘credentials’ or checked to see if I have a degree in writing, and I doubt they ever will.
I teach at a post-secondary level now (Seneca College in Toronto) and I think education can be an important way to learn the craft and broaden your influences but it’s not an absolute requirement by any means.
90% of the time it’s about the work, not a degree.
