Hello Owl.

I am looking forward to seeing Where the wild things are. Cool story, directed by Spike Jonze, screenplay by Jonze and Dave Eggers, music by Carter Burwell and it’s got Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo and James Gandolfini in it. It has all the right ingredients and I think it’s gonna be good and will possibly make me sob into my popcorn.

The Wunderland in 4 minutes. The control room for this mini world looks more impressive than a real one in the UK.

The combonation of colour, design, dials and buttons hits a sweet spot for me.

Saw a dead fox yesterday, very upsetting. I pretended it was asleep in the sun.

And, yes, absolutely, all events get triple-annoying when most of the people there seem concerned primarily with either promoting something or repeatedly ejaculating their location and dinner plans onto the hapless faces on their social network lists.

I love this piece on people, friends and real world stuff that matters. It’s something I noticed at likemind this morning. Most people were looking at each other and talking, not looking down at their phones, laptops or taking snaps of the latte art to post on Twitter. I’m as guilty as the next man, but I’m trying hard not to let my desire to capture stuff ruin my natural desire to hang out and communicate with clever interesting people.

More cool quotes:

Anyhow. Take it as you will, but remember that the web is not you and it’s not me. The web is just a braindead platform for moving information around, but it’s not your actual friends.

Talking about meeting people who speak in sentences and have complicated lives and make great things and care about a lot of the same stuff you do. That’s the thing.

When in the old days you would wait for a confirmation from somebody that they received your message by post AND expecting their reply every single month? I love the anticipation and wondering in the old analog world, all the sadness and melancholy during the wait, all the joy and excitement looking at a sealed envelope . These days everything’s bottle neck originates from procrastination 99% coz email and messaging is so instant. You don’t get a chance to wonder what happens in a chain of potential mishaps and you treasure less of everything. I remember months of waiting for a letter from a girl I loved so much when I was in Canada while she was in Australia. To me, a written message with a pen and a heart sending from afar is most romantic. How about nowadays? What is romantic these days?
