When I'm working, it's great. When I'm not working, it's great.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

It's hard to explaining exactly what happened, but I felt in that moment that the divine, however we may choose to define such a thing, surely dwells as much in the concrete and taxi cabs as it does in the rivers, lakes, and mountains. Grace, I realized, is neither time nor place dependent. All we need is the right soundtrack.
