Fiona Apple releases a new album roughly every 7 years.

Every seven years your body replaces every single cell.

This is why every Fiona album has a different sound, it’s actually a completely new Fiona.

magnets vs tvs

old tubed televisions like these work through electrons, wherein numerous electrons are stored inside a tube and multiple electron magnets manipulate them in order to create an image. these electrons can also be manipulated by powerful outside magnets, creating these effects.

Mr. Rogers talks about drawing

These images are grabbed from episode 1481:

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, King Friday talks to Miss Paulificate about an idea he has for a “Draw the Neighborhood Contest.”… Harriett Elizabeth Cow is not very excited about the contest because she says that everyone’s talents are different and art contests are very difficult to judge.

You can watch it on PBS.org or on Netflix.

(Thanks to my friend Frank Chimero for this.)

the bestest friend i never had

i have long embraced my perceived “weirdness”, my singularity, but lately i’ve found myself lamenting my lack of wanting what most people want, wishing i could’ve been more “normal”. though i adhere to caetano veloso’s “seen from up close, no one is normal”, it was my beloved elliott smith who came and lovingly knocked me back to my senses: "The only people who really seem weird to me are people who think they’re normal. People who think it’s possible to be normal just by doing the same things that most people do. Is there a most people? I don’t know. Television makes it seem like there is, but I think that might just be television." elliott, my love for you transcends time and space.

Single people want relationships, settled people wonder if they’re missing out on something, traveling types miss stability, stable ones are restless, old friends want new friends, new friends miss old friends, and basically almost everyone my age has some dangling worry trailing around after them everywhere that they’re somehow not doing everything, that what they’re doing is not altogether the right thing, that they are missing out. … Do not be ashamed. The doubt is natural, and everyone you know – yes, even that person – carries it sometimes too. Allow yourself to be peaceful. Allow yourself satisfaction in what you have. If you really don’t like it, allow yourself permission to make changes.
