Hearts and Thoughts

from Lisbon, Portugal to the world - since 1983. Random Hearts: Avocados. Raspberries. Strawberries. Sushi. Brushing my teeth with gusto. The sea. Lakes. Hiking. Running. Bicycling. To suit up. HIMYM. Smelling nice perfumes. Paul Thomas Anderson. SNL. Mad Men. Kings of Convenience. Kanye West. Kissing slowly. Confident quirky women. Summer dresses. Snow. Sauna. Travelling. Portugal. Finland, Europe. Random thought: I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out. - Roger Ebert

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

We took two trips to Lisbon over the course of writing this record. None of us had ever been there, and we were really blown away by the place. The topography and architecture are stunningly handsome. Even when we were there for the rainy season — it literally never stopped raining — it was a trip that outshone a lot of others. We've never had much luck at all in Europe, and the Portuguese were surprisingly accommodating. I think those two trips really helped keep us motivated while making this record. We named the record Lisbon as sort of a 'thank you' and a small tribute.

Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen)

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.

The Apartment (1960)

This was the last B&W movie to win Best Picture at The Academy Awards until The Artist(2011). Schindler's List (1993) which won in 1994 was not completely B&W as some scenes were in color, like the girl in the red and the candle at the beginning.

This is the first Best Picture Oscar winner to specifically refer to a previous winner, in this case two of them. First Grand Hotel (1932), which Baxter attempts to watch on television but is too long delayed because of commercials. Bud's boss also refers to Bud and Fran having "a lost weekend" together in Bud's apartment, a reference to Billy Wilder's earlier Oscar winner, The Lost Weekend (1945).

The Apartment (1960)

The film's classic last line was thought up by the writers at the last minute on-set.
