down with art history!
i don’t care about hodegetria, santa croce, cimabue, the holy trinity, giotto, tempera, upper or lower vaults, the 13th,14th, and 15th centuries, different portrayals of jesus christ on the cross, romanesque style, or byzantine art. i don’t care about gold leafing, political propaganda set in place by justinian, an omni-present god, duccio, isocephalic arrangments, what the interior of...

i once choked on a lifesaver, how ironic,
i am going to regret saying this one day,
any kind of shower not involving water is mildly ridiculous. i am talking about bridal showers, wedding showers, baby showers, etc.
having one is like demanding that, “something good is happening, going to happen, or has happened, now rain me with gifts and blessings.”
why not have showers for events or situations where flowers and doilies are not present? aren’t situations...

the art of living,
half of my heart, John Mayer,
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I’ve been Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring Oh half of my heart’s got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart’s got a right mind to tell you That I can’t keep loving you Oh, with half...

deforestation of the soul,
just cry, and smash, and kick apart everything intangible. i am not ashamed of all the stupid things i’ve done, because they’ve sort of compiled themselves into this lovely interwoven story of derailment. surely not that exciting, i’m still standing. but as your spine weakens, so do your nerves, and tendons, ligaments and other bones, your muscles, your organs, your flesh and...

smells are surer than sights and sounds,
j: i drank a lot of amaretto one night. and the next morning i took a shower. the body wash smelled of almonds, reminding me of amaretto, and i almost threw up in the shower.
e: like everything we love, eventually it turns against us.

the tortures of work revealed,
i am mildly late for work, no one notices. i double, sometimes triple input a document/file into a system/excel spreadsheet until i realize my error and unsuspiciously get up to retrieve a jelly bean from the communal candy machine. then i take a trip to the bathroom, stay in there for a few songs as the radio may need to be adjusted (it buzzes weirdly if you go into the third stall)…then i...

to really think about death, i mean really think...
there is this odd state one can fall into when told news of someone’s death, specifically if this person was merely an acquaintance. you cannot really grieve the loss of someone you never knew in the same way as you would someone dear. but similarly you cannot just shake it off and go back to drinking your coffee or windexing a mirror. this news looms over you for a while, and you...

too (two) much tea?
g: i made two cups of tea last night. i made a cup of tea, and then i went around the corner and made another cup of tea, came back with the cup of tea in my hands and then realized i had two cups of tea. does that happen to you? i completely forgot. and i just thought ‘well get a grip’ and then i went to bed.
