Direct interference in a person's life does not enter our scope of activity, nor, on the other, tralatitiously speaking, hand, is his destiny a chain of predeterminate links: some 'future' events may be linked to others, O.K., but all are chimeric, and every cause-and-effect sequence is always a hit-and-miss affair, even if the lunette has actually closed around your neck, and the cretinous crowd holds its breath. Vladimir Nabokov, Transparent Things

If you have never heard the live version of Buckley's FORGET HER...Buckle up and fix that RIGHT NOW:

Thinking about how we mourn artists we've never met. We don't cry because we knew them, we cry because they helped us know ourselves.

This instrumental breaks me in half. Max Richter is a Genius.
When you add in how brilliant the show has been in season 2, I can't deal.
Amy Brenneman was amazing in Season 2, Episode 3: Off Ramp. I was floored by it.

Music is much like fucking, but some composers can’t climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent.

I think Ariana has a lovely voice:
"Nickelodeon has ordered 20 episodes of new comedy Sam & Cat, which features iCarly character Sam (Jeannette McCurdy) moving in with the character Cat (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. This teen sitcom mash-up will begin production in January and premiere some time in 2013."
