I wore my Amelia Earhart t-shirt to New Seasons today.
CASHIER DRESSED LIKE TOMMY CHONG: I like Amelia Earhart.
ME: Yep.
CDLTC: She’s pretty cute in all those old pictures.
ME: Uh-huh.
CDLTC: I wouldn’t mind joining her Mile-High Club.
ME: …
CDLTC: Have a nice day.
It was even creepier when I asked her why, and she said, “Because I’m what all the hobos dream of.” And then she winked again.
Nick asked, “What’s the most embarrassing song you’d never delete from your collection?”
The exact same thing happened to me with this photo. Whenever it’s reblogged I feel guilty because it’s not even my photo. Reblogging guilt!Last August I posted this picture from the New York Times to tumblr. It’s basically the most unoriginal post ever. It’s also probably the most popular thing I’ve ever posted…
What’s funny is that every few months it will go through a burst of getting reblogged. It has long since lost the link back to my blog, but the notes still appear on my dashboard. It’s fun to see where it’s gone.
Most recently it made the rounds of a bunch of japanese tumblrs.

TOTAL FASHION ICON, you guys.
texas mountain laurel. these grow all over my parents’ property, and while i’ve yet to see one in bloom given the time of year, we pick up (and in milo’s case, play with) the seed pods all the time.
Go outside! They’re blooming right now!
In the screenplay, Cazale’s role was written to be a smart-ass street kid. But Al came to me and said, ‘Sidney, please, I beg you, read John Cazale for it.’ And when John came in I was so discouraged and thought ‘Al must be out of his mind.’ This guy looks thirty, thirty-two, and that’s the last thing I want in this part. But Al had great taste in actors, and I hadn’t yet seen him in the Godfather. And Cazale came in, and then he read, and my heart broke… .
“One of the things that I love about the casting of John Cazale … was that he had a tremendous sadness about him. I don’t know where it came from; I don’t believe in invading the privacy of the actors that I work with, or getting into their heads. But my god - it’s there - in every shot of him. And not just in this movie, but in Godfather II also.
“When Al asked him during a scene, ‘Is there any country you want to go to?’ Cazale improvised his answer by saying, after long thought, ‘Wyoming.’ To me that was the funniest, saddest line in the movie, and my favorite, because in the script he wasn’t supposed to say anything. I almost ruined the take because I started to laugh so hard… but it was a brilliant, brilliant, ad lib.
