Peeling oranges
Ernest Hemingway, the author of the classic "The Old Man and the Sea," combined moments of tough physical work with periods of complete leisure. Before he sat down to start a new novel, he would spend hours peeling oranges and looking at the fire.

One morning a newspaper reporter noticed this strange habit.

"Don't you feel that you're wasting your time?" asked the reporter. "You're so famous, shouldn't you be doing something more important?"

"I'm getting my soul ready to write, like a fisherman fixes his gear before taking to sea," answered Hemingway. "If he doesn't do that, if he thinks that only the fish matters, he'll never catch anything."

so, you liked the Last Samurai?
i'll be in Burbank the end of October-we'll have to get together-you can be my "guide" as that part of the world is to surreal to a stranger.
nothing is as it seems, don't take it too seriously.

i didn't mean to imply that YOU were too serious-i was speaking about that town in general, and how a city built on an industry of illusion can't be very realistic.

you misread my current crush thing-
hiroyuki sanada is my crush from the Last Samurai
noah is my husband
i should remove the dashes between them, it confuses people.
