Quote

"Change yourself in the way you want everyone else to change
Love your enemies in case your friends turn out to be jerks
Avoid thinking about winning the lottery while making love
Brainwash yourself before someone nasty beats you to it
Confess big secrets to people who aren't very interested
Write a love letter to your evil twin during a lunar eclipse
Fool the tricky red beasts guarding the Wheels of Time
Locate the master codex and add erudite graffiti to it
Dream up wilder, wetter, more interesting problems
Change your name every day for a thousand days
Kill the apocalypse and annihilate Armageddon
Exaggerate your flaws till they turn into virtues
Brag about what you can't do and don't have
Get a vanity license plate that reads KZMYAZ
Bow down to the greatest mystery you know
Make fun of people who make fun of people"

Pleasant afternoon

We are watching 'The Last Station', a movie about Tolstoy.

I bought it for the Russianness and Helen Mirren, but it contains surprise!James McAvoy as well, and he's very cute, speechlessly fanboying Tolstoy as his new private secretary...

Watching that, I am once more reminded how non-unique Rasputin was for his time and place. WTF got everybody so upset about him?
