Two years ago I took a class on art since the 1960s and was required to buy a textbook: Art Since 1900: Modernism, Postmodernism, Antimodernism. Or, you know, something like that. It was a nice book. A big book. It was quite expensive.

text-based stream-of-consciousness adventures
Someone recently told me that she wanted to live in my head, presumably because it would be more interesting than whatever she was doing at the time. I told her she was crazy. Maybe it would have been more interesting, but I should take this moment to point out that last night most of my dreams revolved around someone being killed by cats, a weird, hallucinatory time loop, and some kind of medical...
