I’m finally learning how to keep a notebook: nothing is sacred and nothing is profane.

Every time I walk I into Staples I want to die. How do you make shopping for office supplies feel so joyless and wrong?

Someday I’d like to travel to Bologna to visit Niccolò dell'Arca’s Lamentation (1463). Even in a photo of it, you can hear the bottomless shock of grief.
