Imagination = empathy, per JK Rowling

I love people who can write. Rather, I love reading stuff written by people who can write.

(Thanks to Karen for the tip-off). 

Ladies and gents - JK Rowling on the importance of failure and imagination (as empathy).

Only flaw in her speech? The location. Duh.

Lyrics are fun.

  1. I have a soft spot for mashups anyhow.
  2. Jason Mraz’ lyrics (well, one in particular, are pretty amusing.)

The mashup (thanks Amanda) is fun, but this line makes me chuckle (okay, I don’t really chuckle) every time I hear it.

“I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted.”

Okay maybe now that it’s posted, it’ll get un-stuck from my head. (Maybe).
