Ah! I'm suffocating from this longing I have for you.

A CEO Rescued my Chimpanzee
I have a chimpanzee. His name is Albert Camus, I've had him for years, he travels everywhere with me including when I go to work on acting jobs. Sometimes he stays in my hotel room, sometimes he stays in my trailer, always he stays in my heart.
So I wrapped Identiteaze yesterday, filming in downtown LA, and I went straight from the set to the airport to fly home. Only when I had checked my bags in for the flight did I realise - I left Camus in the hotel!
By this point it was too late to go back - I'd have missed my flight - so I texted Dave, the CEO of Nebula, who was staying in the same hotel, and was like hey this is silly, but that little chimp means the world to me. Can you get him back?
And this fucking CEO, this guy who has a million more important things to do than rescue wayward stuffies, coordinated a rescue operation with Trenton the Vice President of Nebula and Zara the post-production manager to go and get him. And now Camus is safe, and he's going to be returned to me.
And look - I talk a lot about how good Nebula is to work with, but this is what I mean. They went above and beyond out of the goodness of their hearts to help me feel better, and I love them for that.
So get a Nebula subscription - in fact, wait till December when they're doing a special deal on it and I might have something really cool to announce. But make sure you get one cause the people who work there are the nicest flippin' people in the world <3

You will never be able to experience everything in this lifetime. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

I want you everywhere, all of you, and I will always want you. Yes, always, and don’t talk to me about “if…” or “maybe…” or “as long as…”. I want you, I know, it is a need and I will put all my heart, all my soul, all my will and all my cruelty even, if it is necessary to have you.
Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, Correspondance, Christmas, 1948 [#43]

Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Please, do poetical justice to your soul.
Albert Camus gets existential about writing, 1959.

“Perhaps it was necessary that I had to bang my head against life in order to return with an insatiable thirst for you and for meaning.”
