“A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.”

—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

My favorite band released their first lyric video from their upcoming record, The Silver Gymnasium, this morning. Oh, and it’s REALLY FANTASTIC. Piano-centric, bouncy, and about young love - somebody’s been listening to their Big Star and Zombies records!

(The lead singer/songwriter Will Sheff recently said that all the songs on the new record “take place in New Hampshire in 1986, or circle back around there, or hover above there”.)

EXCITED FOR THIS!

“

FEELING: The one where you’ve built an idea about the future like an intricate origami creature inside your chest, and slowly or suddenly the possibilities turn into impossibilities and for hours or days there’s a rustling in your rib cage as the complex structure destroys itself, unfolding and flattening, unfolding and flattening pleat by pleat.

HOW TO EAT IT: Maybe just like an entire loaf of bread. Put butter on it. Put anything you can find on it.

“It’s only led me to complete awesomeness at all times. It’s only led me to awesome truth and awesomeness. Beauty, truth, awesomeness. That’s all it is.”

Yesterday was my birthday and thankfully I have some pretty good friends and family that helped make it a great day. I also went to Olive Garden for the first time in a while and it was every bit as good as I remembered it being. We’re having a pizza (!) party (!!) on Saturday with our SF friends and I am pretty pumped about that. We’re getting balloons. (I KNOW.)

27 is pretty good so far, you guys.

Whale you look at that!

It’s Gloria’s birthday.

I don’t even know what I did to deserve this, but I am honored to be the recipient.

Easy! You did two very important things.
1.- professed a fondness for the film Free Willy
2.- had a birthday on a day I have school

Also? You’re just so overWHALEingly adORCAble. Totally FINtastic. DOLPHINately the best.

I’m not sure I can stop.

Oh my god, the puns. I feel so loved.
