“Our story, is the story of the universe. Every piece of everyone, everything you...”
– Brian Cox (via eternal-armistice)
What a sad, terrifying idea. Trying to romanticize Materialism is senseless at best and madness at worst. We are so much greater, so much grander and intrinsically worth so much more than stars and have been given a far better future than to disappear into the...

GRRR
I keep posting to the wrong blog because Tumblr won’t let you change your primary blog account but I don’t want to change the name because then I lose all you creepers who never let me know who you are but definitely read my blog because I’m totally not just mumbling down the dark tubes of the Internet.
But you know what? I’m not a professional blogger. I knew that even...

Just a Reminder
That I’m Tumbling at alanamusing.tumblr.com which I wanted to call Amusing - get it? But someone else had it.
And now you know the long and sordid tale of how I named my new main Tumblr.
Epilogue
Tumblr does not allow you to change your main blog which is a huge pain because I send my posts to my Facebook and now I can’t do that without changing the name of this to Alana Musing...
Let's Try This Again
In an effort to make a smoother transition, I will be leaving this tumblr, Lanii Be Good, up but will now post at
alanamusing.tumblr.com
Please follow me there and adjust your internetz accordingly. I’ll shoot out a few reminders every now and then :)
Thanks and sorry for any confusion!
- Alana aka Lanii

A tour from her led us through the working studio of a living master as he prepared his classically beautiful and hand crafted looks along side his seamstresses for New York Fashion Week.
Welcome to the Manhattan studio of Mr. Oscar de la Renta-
Thank you so much Erika for this peek inside such a...

Blog Overhaul
This whole Tumblr at NYFW has got me thinking about niche and blogging. I’m home most of the day. I’m a writer - even if I didn’t finish my degree! And I’ve been blogging in some form or another for at least 11-12 years.
After putting my blog through the awesome website Tumblr Stats and noticing some trends in type of post, I’ve decided to start making a shift. I...

See, the difference between Arcade Fire and Lady Gaga is that the former actually writes and produces music, not ear-crack for clubbers. This may be why those of you whose taste is determined by what’s hot on VEVO or MTV at the moment may not have heard of an actual BAND. With musicians in it.
I wish there would be an audible sound when all the people who think the band is The Suburbs and...

The Musical Theatre Teacher: Character Idea
Slightly overweight woman, with a limp cigarette hanging from her mouth, wearing ruby red lipstick, too much eyeliner and something resembling a cape, sweeps into a rehearsal space. She looks as if she must have been attractive in her day and, in fact, it’s hard to tell if her day was 10 years ago or 20. She has the presence of someone who once worked tirelessly at being other people and at...

Sasha & Chuck: Superheroes - Part 1
Chuck pressed his fingertips into the biological scanner. “Welcome Home” appeared in little red LCD dots and the silver door to his hidden underground headquarters slid open. Beasley was there to welcome him as usual and take his boots. “How did it go? You’re alive, so that’s something in your favor.” Beasley had been there from the beginning. Back in the...

Superhero Series
A while back I was working on a superhero story and was releasing it, bit by bit, to my Blogger account. Recently, as I’ve been putting the finishing touches on my short story collection, I thought I’d post it here from the beginning, largely in the hopes that that might force me to finish it!
It does pay homage to the traditional heroes and maybe, in some places, that just seems...

My friend Tom Scharpling hosts the brilliant radio show The Best Show on WFMU. He’s also a succesful writer for the screen, and his music video directing credits include Ted Leo and The New Pornographers. His advice on how to get creative work done is pretty much perfect.

First trailer for Richard Ayoade’s Submarine. Kind of looks like what would happen if Godard and Wes Anderson has a post(modern) baby.
