You are always strangely defensive on this topic.

Can't remember any instances of being particularly surprised, but also not something I'd particularly go out of my way to ask in general

How Much Did It Cost to Paint a Pompeii Room Egyptian Blue? The price of covering a room in the prized pigment was equal to between 50% and 90% of a Roman legionary's annual salary, a new study estimates.

My latest for @hyperallergic.com is on Egyptian Blue—& a new study by Mishael Quraishi which prices out the Roman cost & manual labor needed to paint the “Blue Room” at Pompeii.

Age of Attraction on Netflix is a trash level too high for me I think. "Date people without knowing what age they are!" ok but they can... SEE EACH OTHER....

Another great NYT story today, this one about Richard Hell's apartment in the East Village, a dumpy cramped tenement flat that he's lived in (rent controlled, obviously) since 1974!

This cat - I say to him can you make me a cup of tea? And he doesn't put the kettle on at all, not one bit.

I am afraid I have started thinking of the cat's overspecified autofeeder - which calls with my voice as it gushes biscuits - as the wire mother to my cloth mother.

Your hair is stuck to your face, it’s stuck to your face or to your lips or it’s in your eyelashes, it’s touching you and it won’t get off, the strand is evasive every time you try to grab it but you can feel the fucker. 
You have put some type of unguent on your skin and now everything is sticky and oily and wrong. 
You have decided there is no other option - you will simply have to quit your job - because the man opposite you is both a tapper and a leg jiggler, and likes to do both at the same time, constantly, in your peripheral vision. 
Something hurts or itches at all points in a minor way that nonetheless demands some attention.
You are very aware during sex that all you are doing is rubbing two bits of ham together. At some point something will probably be cold and viscous and congealing on your chest. 
You are convinced that the emergency services like to turn on their siren as they are passing you just to see you jump and flinch and press your hands to your ears.

Just occurred to me that Aardman might be the only filmmakers who could do a proper Animal Farm movie.

"Cinema experience" I genuinely don't understand what people are talking about. It's just film but big.

My actual stance on content warnings is that I don't personally need them but it makes no difference to me if they're there and might be helpful for someone else. Some people like to look at the ingredients lists on their food packaging to check whether it's safe for them. I don't object!
