Nike is making the shoes from Back to the Future available to buy for the first time. The money is going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Genius idea. Just genius.

michael j. fox on letterman.
Awesome interview with one of my idols. He talks a lot about what the Michael J. Fox Foundation is doing for Parkinson's Disease, which I'm quite passionate about, for obvious reasons. Check it out.

Ralph Fiennes, one of my favorite actors, in The Tempest, my favorite Shakespeare play, viewed from the front row, pretty much my favorite seat in the house. What an amazing experience.

highlight of my weekend.
I saw this band called Gentleman's Dub Club this weekend at this Christian festival I went to called Greenbelt. Mavis Staples, Kate Rusby, Idlewild and many others were there, and they were amazing, but these guys were definitely the best. Enjoy.

i don't want it to end.
"Harry Potter was the gateway drug to books for a generation."
- Emerson Spartz (founder of MuggleNet, the site for Potter freaks like me)
That pretty much sums up my childhood. I'm (unsurprisingly) emotional about the final film coming out this week. At least when the final book came out there was a few more films left to look forward to. Now what? I've had something Harry Potter-related lingering in the distant future since I was 11. Thank goodness for Pottermore. Well-timed on that introduction, Jo.

some of my brother's greatest hits.
AFTER MY 21ST BIRTHDAY:
"The problem with having a 21 year old sister is how do I know she won't come home drunk with a shotgun?!"
AFTER SEEING A GAME OF LACROSSE:
"It's always been my dream to hit somebody with a stick."
WHILE WASHING MY CAR:
"Don't worry, I'm trained."
UPON SEEING A COOKING TOOL CALLED 'THE SMOKING GUN':
"That must be smoking good."
ON HOW LONDON IS BETTER THAN BORING THOUSAND OAKS:
"If we were in London it'd be like Disneyland, instead of being an 80-year-old at a boring amusement park for little kids. "
DOING RESEARCH FOR HIS BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PROJECT:
" There's no good pictures of lightning rods on the computer."
WHEN MY MOTHER ONCE REMARKED HE WAS EATING A LOT:
"Well, sorry my small intestine must be fast at digesting. It takes 12 to 24 hours to finish digesting food. Depending on how big it is and how good other digesting things are working, like your saliva. So in 12 hours I might have to poop."
WHEN I ASKED IF HE WOULD COME VISIT ME IN LONDON:
"Like heck!"

it was really hot today.
So I laid in some grass and watched the clouds.
And slept and wrote and read and people-watched.
And accidentally took this picture that I quite strangely like.

social anxiety is a taxing thing.
"We can either re-channel our anxieties into something positive like James Blake did...or we can take the Virginia Woolf route..."

Oh! Ma-Ma!
I Love to Whistle
An Old Straw Hat
Sweet as a Song
You're a Sweetheart
'Tis Better to Have Loved and Lost
Moonlight, Hawaii and You
I Can Dream, Can't I?

A PRAYER BY BLAISE PASCAL
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master; do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to Yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your Providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
