How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?!

My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things.

That was excellent! I mean, it didn't do anything, but it looked really cool!

I find it's too much for me to read endless critiques, even if we're being well-defended, of exactly what we're doing. When someone tells us something we're doing wrong on the boards, we try to respond, we try to be responsive to the fan boards, but yeah, I can't read them.

Mostly I make lists for projects. This can be daunting. Breaking something big into its constituent parts will help you organize your thoughts, but it can also force you to confront the depth of your ignorance and the hugeness of the task. That's OK. The project may be the lion, but the list is your whip.

Lists are how I parse and manage the world.

If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating.
