Interviewer: How far does the intellect go?
Bill Evans: Only as far as being a student really. That's as far as it can go because intellectually you couldn't manipulate yourself fast enough intellectually to play. I mean jazz is a certain process that's not an intellectual process. You use your intellect to take apart the materials and learn to understand them and learn to work with them. But actually it takes years, and years, and years of playing to develop the facility so that you can forget all of that. And just relax and just play.

I fucking love Bob’s Burgers. The parents have a great relationship with the kids, even if their parenting skills aren’t the greatest sometimes, just like real parents. The kids get along and fight like real siblings. The 9 year old girl is an evil mastermind but she’s still a child and you are reminded of that. The 13 year old is a teenage girl going through puberty and that is exactly how she is portrayed. The 11 year old boy has non-gender-specific qualities and isn’t mocked or teased about them. Every character had a purpose and a personality and they arent always just the butts of stereotype jokes and it’s so wonderful and the writing and a voices and the improv are amazing. I just want this show to last forever.

I’ve just traded all of Finland’s boring stuff for every other country’s lions. I definitely have more lions than any other country in the world right now. I have no idea what’s going on but if that ends up meaning something in this game, I’d say I’m set.
