Los Angeles Times! See me, more patients and the studio!

So you may have wondered why Habersham's story followed so quickly on the heels of Lucky the Bear's, and the reason is, it was a bit of a teaser.

Over the past few months, I have been interviewed for almost 2 hours by a reporter for the LA Times. Then a photographer came out to the hospital and took photos of me and the hospital and the patients I had at the time (for another two hours!). And then a few weeks ago, another photographer came out to take portraits of the patients I had then. Including one of Habersham. Then, yesterday, September 10, this appeared as the cover of the LA Times Calendar section:

That's Habersham before his surgery. And a wonderful play on Tears for Fears for the title of the story. :-) There's a two page spread inside the paper, and you can read it, and see a lot (if not all) of the photos online here. If the link doesn't work, you can also go to the LA Times and search "toy hospital" in the search box on the site and you should find the article that way too.

Anyway, as you may imagine, I've been doing a bit of a happy dance about the story all weekend. And I really wanted to share it with all of you because a) I thought you might enjoy the article and b) the reporter found me in part because of this blog which you all have chosen to read and follow and like over the years, so you all deserve thanks for the article too!

When Franz Kafka said that he is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived, i felt that on a deep emotional level.

Kinda couldn't not think about this

[varnikareads]

“It's heartbreaking to hear someone say, I wasn't always like this. And by ‘this’ they mean their anxiety, their fears, the little things that make them uncomfortable, the songs that make them look away and hold back tears, the way they struggle to trust again. As if ‘this’ version deserves any less love and care than all of the people they have been. As if 'this' is something that makes them a burden.”

In violent times you shouldn't have to sell your soul

In black and white they really really ought to know

Those one-track minds that took you for a working boy

Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn't have to jump for joy.

You shouldn't have to jump for joy.

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on,

I'm talking to you, come on.

Tears for Fears - Shout (1984), dir. Nigel Dick

i actually think that the single funniest thing in psych is that Curt Smith as Curt Smith is an actual reoccurring character
