“ Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old. ” - Ralph Waldo Emerson (via psychotherapy)

Favorite holiday movies:

White Christmas (for sugary holiday feel-goodness, and the songs, and Danny Kaye)

The Apartment (for a good dose of holiday cynicism, with a happy ending!)

“ Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. ” - Anais Nin (via reluctantbuddha)

“ I have the sensation, as do my friends, that to function as a proficient human, you must both ‘keep up’ with the internet and pursue more serious, analog interests. I blog about real life; I talk about the internet. It’s so exhausting to exist on both registers, especially while holding down a job. It feels like tedious work to be merely conversationally competent. I make myself schedules, breaking down my commute to its most elemental parts and assigning each leg of my journey something different to absorb: podcast, Instapaper article, real novel of real worth, real magazine of dubious worth. I’m pretty tired by the time I get to work at 9 AM. ” -

“Sad as Hell” by Alice Gregory for n+1. (via langer)

there’s just no keeping up with the internet. acceptance of this fact = some measure of freedom.

“ I formulated a theory of the novel: the novel form is “about” the protagonist’s struggle to transform his arbitrary, fragmented, given experience into a narrative as meaningful as his favorite books. ” - Elif Batuman, The Possessed

Nashville Teens -Tobacco Road

Mad Men is back. There were so many fabulous bits of the season 4 premiere, but the most exhilarating came in the last minute of the episode. Don begins to narrate the rebellious beginnings of SCDP (a slightly embellished, heroicized version, of course), and in come the double thrusts of Tobacco Road’s opening chords. Mad Men always uses the most perfect closing credit songs. This one is pure rock and roll.

Thrilled that the British invasion is hitting my favorite show! The gap between the third and fourth seasons leaped over the Beatles’s first U.S. visit in February 1964—too bad we missed that, but the leap does mean that the show is already heading into 1965. The exciting part of the sixties is just around the corner!
