It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture. ↗

Well, all these stars have their houses swept quite regularly by people who work in the surveillance security business. They come in and they look for bugs and things. ↗

My best friend growing up really put the bug in my ear about acting. We created this one hour-and-a-half improv play when we were 10 or 11 and performed it at the library. We just played off each other so well and had the best time doing it and the funniest part was, we wound up having packed houses, other people loved it too. ↗

Westminster Abbey, the Tower, a steeple, one church, and then another, presented themselves to our view; and we could now plainly distinguish the high round chimneys on the tops of the houses, which yet seemed to us to form an innumerable number of smaller spires, or steeples. ↗

What I know from my friends who are cops is they keep their houses very clean, because they say you never know if you're coming back or not. ↗

Peoples will be as before, the sheep sent to the slaughterhouses or to the meadows as it pleases the shepherds. ↗

We are wolves, which are wild dogs, and this is our place in the city. We are small and our house is small on our small urban street. We can see the city and the train line and it's beautiful in its own dangerous way. Dangerous because it's shared and taken and fought for. That's the best way I can put it, and thinking about it, when I walk past the tiny houses on our street, I wonder about the stories inside them. I wonder hard, because houses must have walls and rooftops for a reason. My only query is the windows. Why do they have windows? Is it to let a glimpse of the world in? Or for us to see out? ↗
