Dream

This morning I saw the word "dream" on the side of a construction crane. I wasn't not sure if it was a call to action, or a warning. Turns out it was just branding - so maybe a little of both. | Continue reading

Office intrigue

I was bored and thirsty. Mug in hand I left my cubicle and pushed open the door to the hallway, interrupting two men having a very quiet, very private conversation. They stood suspiciously in front of elevator H. Were they going somewhere? Was that a good place to share secrets? … | Continue reading

Steve Martin on success

Nobody ever takes note of it because it’s not the answer they want to hear. What they want to hear is “Here’s how you get an agent…” or “Here’s how to write a script…”. But I always say “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” If somebody is thinking “How can I be really good?” […] | Continue reading

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. Oscar Wilde I hadn’t read the entirety of this Oscar Wilde quote before. I feel like the last bit, which is always omitted, is kind of contextually important. | Continue reading
