  • I was at a Geek Prom and there was a fantasy/sci-fi spelling bee and somehow I made it to the final round (? not sure but it was close) and they said, “Your word is ‘wookiee’.”

    Now, I’ve been a hardcore Star Wars fanatic forever, and knowing that I, quick as a flash, upzipped my coveralls to reveal my super tight X-Wing pilot shirt on, belted out, “W-O-O-K-I-E!!” and looked at the moderator as he looked at me and then he said, “I’m sorry, that’s wrong. It’s, ‘w-o-o-k-i-e-e’.”

    I turned beat red and slunk back to my seat embarrassed as I could be.

    Do you want to see the most beautiful thing I’ve ever filmed? It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing, and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was just, dancing with me, like a little kid beggin’ me to play with it - for fifteen minutes. And that’s the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know that there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video’s a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember - I need to remember. Sometimes, there’s so much beauty in the world - I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart is just going to cave in.
