This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it’s too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I’m going to go back there someday.
– “I’m Going To Go Back There Someday” by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams

Aw, man, that’s a shame. Rest in peace.

From today’s The Writer’s Almanac, a quote from director John Sayles on “his first screenwriting job on a horror movie called Piranha”:

“My whole job was to contrive a reason why people, once they hear there are piranhas in the river, don’t just stay out of the river but end up getting eaten. That’s basically what they paid me $10,000 for.”

There are worse ways to make a living.
