  David Lynch cannot die I watched Lynch as Ford in Fablemans 5 times today. It’s perfect. Its meta. It’s passionate. Its earthy. It’s surreal. Its funny. It’s heartfelt. It’s basic.

  Blog Questions Challenge Sara and Reilly and Jo and now Tracy did them. I enjoyed these questions, and reading those and other fellow bloggers’ answers.
