β€œThe most valuable thing to me in terms of my mental health is to read a poem or see an painting or listen to music which speaks to me, which breaks me open for a moment, and where I feel an experience honestly and delicately portrayed.” -Charlie Kaufman

I made a joke. I think my colleague wanted to say, β€œI did not see that coming!” Instead they said, β€œI was not prepared!”

I’ve been teaching this same class for nearly 10 years now; why am I always so nervous before the first one of the semester?

Sluggo here is equal parts β€œI would prefer not to” and β€œtune in, turn on, drop out.” And for as sad as Bartelby’s nihilism makes me, and for as angry as Leary’s opportunism makes me, Sluggo’s energy is always correct and necessary. Especially now.

The Rice Krispies treats dried out despite cling wrap, so we went to a Yoshitomo Nara exhibit.
