Happy Chocolate Egg day!
I watched Boyhood on the flight home from California. Many details overlapped with mine and (especially) my brother’s childhood. I liked this short clip so I’m putting it on my blog, about work ethic + natural talent.
Mr. Turlington: Who do you wanna be, Mason? What do you wanna do?
Mason: I wanna take pictures. Make art.
Mr. Turlington: Any dipshit can take pictures, Mason. Art, that’s special. What can you bring to it that nobody else can?
In other news, Shadowplay made the longlist of the Tiptree Award. I love Tiptree’s work and always harboured a hope to be on that list because the Micah Grey series is all about exploring gender, so that was a nice boost to yesterday, when I was having a rough day. Congratulations to the winners and everyone on the list. 
Loved that clip! Very, very true. I’ll need to watch the whole movie now.
Congratulations on the Tiptree award! I was just reading about that award over at Kameron Hurley’s blog — they list some really, really excellent and innovative stories!
It’s a good film! So interesting to see everyone age 12 years over the course of it.
