Art Fry, inventor of Post-it Notes. From David Friedman’s awesome Inventor Portrait series.

Sorry but the only thing I have to say to this is: Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion. (2:54 & 4:44)

“There is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or why or who you are. You want one and I want one, but there isn’t one. It comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. And yet you are all that you have, so you must be enough. There is no other way.”

- Marya Hornbacher

“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life.” (via mutations)

Finally saw this last night. Brilliant.

“It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party.”

- Nick Hornby

I find myself questioning the validity of this notion a lot.

Ólafur Arnalds ~ 3055

Ólafur Arnalds, at only 22, has immersed himself in a world of delicate symphonic compositions, creating near-weightless orchestral pieces. He explores the crossover from classical to pop by mixing chamber strings and piano with electronics, generating some unique modern sounds.

In April 2009, Óli created the seven-song series Found Songs, recording one song per day for seven days and instantly making each track available via his Twitter. With artwork contributions from fans via Flickr, the project was intended to “awaken memories of a tradition that seemed lost in the digital age we live in.” You can download each of the seven songs and read more on the project here, and view the Flickr submissions here.

This song is from his 2007 EP, “Eulogy for Evolution.” Arnalds was recently commissioned to write music for the Royal Ballet’s resident choreographer, Wayne McGregor’s new ballet, which will premier in London in October.
