Official trailer of Life In A Day. The film was directed by Kevin Macdonald, who received over 80,000 submissions (4,500 hours of footage) from people in 192 countries to make a documentary that attempts to capture moments of people’s lives in one specific day.
I love the idea that here is an attempt to capture the glimpses of a day that that may be overlooked otherwise. Below is a link to short article about the film:

Two people. One story. There’s something about these that just draw me in.
A clip from Homework (official Sundance 2011 selection), directed by Gavin Wiesen. Apparently it is going to be released as The Art of Getting By sometime this summer.The movie stars Freddie Highmore, Emma Roberts, Michael Angarano, Elizabeth Reaser, Rita Wilson, Sam Robards and Blair Underwood. I can’t wait to watch it!
I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 months since the last time I’ve been on Tumblr! I’ve missed this. Life’s been so busy since New Years but things are finally slowing down now.
Starting my first post of 2011 with a video that reminds me of everything I love about spring/summer. I can’t wait until it gets warm. I can’t wait until spring break!

“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”
Hahaha, you’re right! Tumblr is exactly that…it amazes me how much creativity is out there. Seeing inspiring work (like yours) just makes me so happy and excited about life in general. And there’s absolutely no need to thank me! Please just keep doing what you’re doing, your music and your art pieces are truly wonderful.
Thank you so much for the message, it only takes a message like this to instill a bit of reality in this somewhat surreal Tumblr world!

“Remember above all things, Kid, that to write is not difficult, not painful, that it comes out of you with ease, that you can whip up a little tale in no time, that when you are sincere about it, that when you want to impress a truth, it is not difficult, not painful, but easy, graceful, full of smooth power, as if you were a writing machine with a store of literature that is boundless, enormous, endless, and rich. For it is true; this is so. Do not forget it in your gloomier moments. Make your stuff warm, drive it home American-wise, don’t mind critics, don’t mind the stuffy academic theses of scholars, they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re way off the track, they’re cold; you’re warm, you’re redhot, you can write all day, you know what you know, like Halper; you remember that, Kid, and when you feel as if you cannot write, as if it is no use, as if life is no good, read this over and realize that you can do a lot of good in this world by turning out truths like these, by spreading warmth, by trying to preach living for life’s sake, not the intellectual way, but the warm way, the way of love, the way which says: Brothers, I greet you with open arms, I accept your frailties, I offer you my frailties, let us gather and run the gamut of rich human existence. Remember, Kid, the ease, the grace, the glory, the greatness of your art; remember it, never forget. Remember passion. Do not forget, do not forsake, do not neglect. It is there, the order and the purpose; there is chaos, but not in you, not way down deep in your heart, no chaos, only ease, grace, beauty, love, greatness…..Kid, you can whip a little tale in no time; it is a cinch, you are the flow of smooth thrumming power, you are a writer, and you can turn out some mean stuff, and you will turn out tons of it, because it is you, and do not forget it, Kid, do not forget it; please, please Kid, do not forget yourself; save that, save that, preserve yourself; turn out those mean little old tales by the dozens, it is easy, it is grace, do it American-wise, drive it home, sell truth, for it needs to be sold. Remember, Kid, what I say to you tonight; never forget it, read this over in your gloomier moments and never, never forget…..never, never, never forget…..please, please, Kid please…”

I learned about Layne Mosler aka the Taxi Gourmet early in my food blogging days and she’s been an inspiration ever since. I admire her wonderful writing and her dedication to her mission to find good, cheap eats via cabbie recommendations. A bit specific? Perhaps, but cab drivers work worldwide. What Layne has tapped into, really, is something quite global and utterly relatable for curious appetites everywhere.

I love it! The idea of trusting your appetite with a complete stranger…sounds pretty exciting!
