A good friend of mine is friends with John Malkovich and he told me John wanted to come down.

I hated reunions. It made myself felt so little afterwards. When I was there, I couldn’t help not knowing. But after I knew things, I couldn’t stop comparing. I was congratulating people when they told me the good news, but deep inside I was wondering whether their good news was better than mine. Life wasn’t supposed to be a competition, but it really felt like one.

John Malkovich was very taken back and impressed with Carnegie Abbey. He toured all the grounds and plans to come back very soon.

I think he's a tremendous actor and he's a lot different when you meet him in person. A lot of the characters he plays tend to be the bad guys.

Social media is like reunion, but the catching up is done through the comfort of your own bed. Scrolling through photos and statuses are too easy to not be done. You know about their social life and where they’ve been last weekend. Then you wonder why they have such flawless hair and make up. How could they look so effortlessly awesome?

It fitted with his idea of a pharmacy back home, I did a test of how many of my friends could spell 'apothecary,' and how many knew what it meant, and both of those were depressing results.
