- Dad: Stop singing, you are not Africa
“My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of ‘Gone With the Wind’, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It’s actually one of the things that you live and die for.”

Until just now, I didn’t realize that the Phantom Menance
was Anakin.
I really want a whole collection of wigs. How do you get that?
And most importantly, how do you make it so the cats do not destroy everything?
I keep having dreams that my hair grows really long overnight so I have to figure out if I want to cut it or shave it or shave part of it.
Too many decisions for awake me, let alone sleepy me.
