1. A young boy visits his ailing grandmother on her deathbed. She beckons him to her side.

    “Come close, my boy. I have something to share with you. In my will, I have left you a beautiful homestead with over a thousand acres, covered in orange groves, corn fields, and a flower garden with the rarest and most exotic orchids in the world. Young man, you will inherit the most spectacular plot of land this side of the Pacific Ocean.”

    The boy stares blankly, unmoved. “Grandma,” he says, “I’m done with FarmVille. My friends and I switched to Mafia Wars last summer.”

    — Distance 01 is here. This is going to be great!

  3. “But anything of any value in our lives, whether that be a career, a work of art, a relationship, will always start with suck a leap. And in order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding.

    You have have to do these things completely purely without fear, without desire.

    Because things that we do without lust or result, are the purest actions that we will ever take.”

    — Alan Moore

  8. Chip Zdarsky’s WATCHMEN 2 →

    It was dark, lit only with a low-hanging, overhead light, illuminating an oak table with a single copy of Watchmen in its centre. On the walls, in deep shadow, were hundreds of sketches and notes, all Watchmen-based. They covered myriad character possibilities, from BBW Silk Specters, to GBM Night Owls, to gun-toting, fully erect Doctor Manhattans. Clearly I had some competition.

    Ah Gene Wilder, you wonderful man.

  13. I find this in my diary, written twenty and more years ago: People say of death, ‘There’s nothing to be frightened of.’ They say it quickly, casually. Now let’s say it again, slowly, with re-emphasis. ‘There’s NOTHING to be frightened of. Jules Renard. “The word that is most true, most exact, most filled with meaning, is the word “nothing”.
