Night time tank attack near Kursk. 1943


The chunky art school kids are doing real meaningful art and the skinny art school kids are real meaningful art.  It’s pretty much a war.

Your days of admiring tractors are over. You own a tractor now. And even more, you use it. You have to keep it in working shape and reasonably clean. The suffered roadside tractor is a fantasy of yours no more. It has gone the way of all your dreams, stuck somewhere up the chimney. You’re a dreamless farmer now. Plodding, sewing, studying the sun.

Here’s Johnny Depp asleep in his trailer between shots.   Yeah, no that’s actually him sleeping. I know, it’s amazing.  I’ll give it one more minute and then we’ll move on.  Next up is a quick and really captivating retrospective on Alan Alda’s eyewear over the years.  Alan Alda’s eyewear, everyone.

Oh to be pampered.  This life of luxury is a curse.  And a carousel.  Also, at times, a cruise — cruises being cursed carousels themselves, after all.  What’s that?  Yes, thank you Armand, that will be all.  I’m content.  Here with my cotton balls.

Why is reading books some sort of club now?  
Addendum:  Read alone, dear sirs.  Read for no one.  Read in the dark.  Read like men.

Pretty soon we’re gonna stop using mason jars at restaurants.  But what will replace them?  Tall and thin lady-like numbers that show our societal finesse?  Native American baskets that hardly leak at all?  Milk cartons?  You wonder as you slurp banana royale out of a waffle cone.

Bugs are always drinking out of things that reflect their image.  No wonder they’re always running into mirrors, those lushes.
