LIFE Is Serious. ART Is Happy.

It's odd, isn't it? Very odd.

SOOO very odd. i completely agree

I always "plagiarise or take on loan." The words aren't my own.

I also don't think a person can truthfully generalize and say "art is happy."

I really like when songs sound happy, but have depressing lyrics. I find it interesting.
Sort of like I like that scene in Run Lola Run when they're fleeing the grocery store and that song that goes "What a difference a day makes..." is playing.

I can see it now: The painter holding his glass high when showing off his new masterpiece to the other objects in the room, but once he's out of there.. he's a little more worried about being evicted.

I have a lot of problems that need to be worked out.

isn't it funny how people who didn't go to ashland don't get it at all?

[lostinstories]

Maybe they get it in some other way.
Or find something we didn't, since we saw it in a certain context.

But I guess it's funny.

[atomicmind]

YES that's from The Visit isn't it? I loved that play.
