Tsukushi: (confidently) Every story has a lesson! Hey, Nanami! What's your favorite story?

Nanami: (smiling) Easy! "Saw 5"!

Tsukushi: (instantly unnerved) ...Well, every story has a lesson, EXCEPT "Saw 5"...

Nanami: (glaring ominously) "Saw 5" has a powerful lesson about the fundamental corruption of financially-driven medical insurance providers. "Saw 5" says it is morally sick to make dollars out of dying men.

Tsukushi: (taken aback) Wow...that's the lesson of "Saw 5"? Really?

Nanami: (smiling) For reals!

Nanami: (back to glaring ominously) And you get to see a dude forced to cut off his own arm with a rusty axe! It has everything!

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
