Rainbows


So from time to time I kick myself for not being as disciplined as, say Matt Webb, who seems to be able to effortlessly kick out a weekly digest of his studio’s activities. It’s important, I tell myself. It’s a great way to get your ideas out there, I say, with some guilt. Writing things down is a great way to figure out what you think, I remind myself. And yet thus far I’ve only managed to do it three times.

But I submit to you that if this city could please stop throwing HUGE FREAKING RAINBOWS up right outside my window when I’m trying to get something done, followed by driving hail which of course needs to be scooped off the window ledges, and then followed by even more enormous double rainbows coming off the tip of the pointy building, I might have an easier time of it, and maybe even get a little writing done.

And if Stamen ever becomes a place where we can’t interrupt a meeting to run out into the street and look at rainbows, will someone please punch me in the neck?
