Barthelme and Not-knowing

Writing is a process of dealing with not-knowing, a forcing of what and how…. The not-knowing is crucial to art, is what permits art to be made. Without the scanning process engendered by not-knowing, without the possibility of having the mind move in unanticipated directions, there would be no invention…. The not-knowing is not simple, because it’s hedged about with prohibitions, roads that may not be taken. The more serious the artist, the more problems he takes into account and the more considerations limit his possible initiatives.

We are all a little weird…

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

~ Dr. Seuss

Ah, mutual weirdness is something I can get behind.

Admit One

Some borderline hoarder *ahem* is cleaning out the clutter & came across these ticket stubs from late 1999. Looking back, this was a pretty good period for films.
