Thanks for interacting

10.1.10

'Without you, todays emotions would be the scuff of yesterday's."

I think this is an awesome quote from a totally radical French movie (Amelie).  Today I was reminded of it because one of my friends is graduating and leaving our lab for bigger and better things (her going away party is tonight).  I'm really going to miss her because she brought so much to our lab/my cubicle.  The Amelie quote also reminds me of another montra that I heard about from one of the members of a band called The Books (the singer was quoting film editor/sound designer Walter Murch).  Merch basically says 'we are filters...in the blink of an eye, we take what effects us and redirect it'.  I totally agree with this but also think our filtery-ness also impacts our emotions and other senses.  Each person we interact with has an influence on who we are, how we think, and what actions we take.
