At :23 seconds there’s a shot of two girls. It’s from a VHS tape I used to have called “Happy Birthday Barbie” or something. I want to watch it again so badly!
We gave it to my cousin, Michelle a while ago. Michelle, please tell me you still have this and will send it my way if you do.

Blast from the past
-Definitely going to write/submit a One Act set in Revolutionary America. Haha
-I’m feeling nostalgic for much more recent times than the Boston Tea Party though. I was just singing the “doo doo doo do do dooo doo” part of Rocky Raccoon thinking about going to the Getty, etc.

“You’re a fine sight,” said Woland.
“Imagine, messire,”...”
– Mikhail Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita, easily my favorite log book to-date. Maybe this quote isn’t the best example of it (though I definitely LOLed), the subtly infused sarcasm of Bulgakov’s characters is SO refined — not overbearing or wholesale. The exchanges between the...

I could have gone to Youtube and found some lo-fi footage from a U2 concert, but I repped Vimeo instead. Good choice.
