Time to kick back into gear.

Day 139: Salinas

Fragment: You can boast about anything if its all you have.
Font: Galaxie Polaris
Quoted: John Steinbeck

Maybe the less you have, the more you are required to boast

Day 122: Payback

Fragment: An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
Font: Galaxie Polaris
Quoted: Ghandi

Saw the quote and saw a fragment, so couldn't help but do it

Day 121: Sure

Fragment: Nobody can bring you peace but yourself
Font: Galaxie Polaris Light
Quoted: Ralph Waldo Emerson

I remember I used to think Emerson was unnecessarily long winded, though I must have become more patient since then, since I can read through it now.

I think I've become more confident as a person, in general, because I am more sure of who I am, but also because of the outside world. I think I am more confident of my intelligence, because I know I go to Yale, and societally speaking, it's considered a pretty good school. I am more confident before an interview because someone will tell me I'm about to kick ass, or that they would be lucky to have me. I am more confident of being just me, because someone has told me to just be myself or that I am beautiful, inside and out.

She's sassy.

Day 113: The Rub

Fragment: But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy.
Font: Galaxie Polaris
Quoted: The New Yorker


Oh well that's not so good is it.... but does me thinking that mean that I think I am an artist? Do I deserve to be an artist? Ah There's the rub.

Day 98: Love Finds You

Fragment: Why would you settle for less, when the world gives you more?

Listen to the Submarines here

Day 74: Stars

Fragment: We Might Not Get Tomorrow

Font: Galaxie Polaris

Quoted: Pitbull, in Give Me Everything

Reach for the Stars, and if you don't grab them, at least you'll land on top of the world.
Give Me Everything

Day 67: So It May Be

Fragment: I was discovering the otherness of the word?
Font: Galaxie Polaris
Quoted: Professor Nemerov

This was my last lecture. I'm depressed.

Day 64: Twice Shy

Fragment: You can make the blue skies blush
Font: Galaxie Polaris
Quoted: Oh Land in Sun of a Gun

Not that I need it right now, but what a great breakup song.

Day 59: Magic

Fragment: "The whole world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel."
Font: Galaxie Polaris

Professor Nemerov was saying that it's very hard to interact with turtles.... Makes me miss home, and all our pet turtles.

Day 46: Solidify

Fragment: The world can be posessed

Font: Galaxie Polaris

Quoted: Professor Alexander Nemerov

Nemerov was talking about Van Gogh today. My family has a thing for Van Gogh. We have 4 cypress trees in our back yard. This fragment refers to Van Gogh's impasto technique, as if it were an attempt to capture the world physically in the paint. 

I've noticed I always feel compelled to use Galaxie Polaris Light for Professor Nemerov. Maybe it's in the fragility of the individual characters, but it's something about the two that just works.

Day 45: Class

Fragment: Chance favors the prepared of mind

Font: Galaxie Polaris

Quoted: Louis Pasteur, found in Barnet's Short Guide to Writing about Art

I suppose the value of education is really about the refining of the mind. I might not know much about a lot of things, but I know that I'm not afraid to learn.
