I’ve always found it interesting how people (myself included) tend to have this compulsion, when waiting on a train, to lean out over the tracks and look down the tunnel to see if the train’s coming. It isn’t limited to just trains, of course, but for some reason it seems more pointless. A train isn’t [...]
My brain is too tired to make words happen. Maybe next time.
There is an old Calvin & Hobbes strip whose punchline reads “The problem with being avant garde is knowing who’s putting on who.” I came across this little gem the other day while crossing Spring in SoHo the other day. A little bit of internet research later and I discovered that this was by far [...]
