A director strokes his beard, then points out towards the set. A daughter hugs her father, warming him as he sings the blues. A student practices her violin, the beauty vibrating from the wood. An old painter talks of his landscapes, and much different they are from 'work nowadays'. A hippy replaces his shades. A pop-singer offers her interviewer an ice-cream. A fallen silent-movie star, weeps over her lost career. A sculptor finishes a final latitude in his copy of the world. An architect relaxes with a newspaper and wine. A woman turns in the icy cold, breathes, and inspires an artist.

It's a rather rosy view of inspiration or art, 'lost careers' notwithstanding...

nice -- this seems just an awkward shyness from really amazing. the grocery list works, overall, but needs something more than the title to tie it together... some sort of rhythm, or... dunno. but cool. :)
