I'm not really good at any visual art forms, but I made a pretty big collage for my friend's birthday, and it was just fun following my instincts on what to put together, seeing where I could place an inside joke, and just telling a story in a way I usually wouldn't.
Hours went by before I even realized how long I'd been working on it. I just listened to music, cut up magazines, rubbed glue into my hands, fucked around with a bunch of markers, and it was pretty chill. I'd recommend anyone who struggles with visual art to give it a try, you might surprise yourself, but you also might just have fun, which is worth it to me. It's making me consider learning how to do it digitally.

Such a wonderful album by a wonderful indie Scottish band. The lead singer just excudes so much mania and whimsy and the instrumentals across the album are on point. Definitely recommend if you’re into Yo La Tengo or Stereolab.

the ever-so lustrous author John Green came into my work back in November. we chatted a bit before he went back to his group of friends. before he left, i went out back to get something for him to sign. the best and most evident thing i could find was an empty egg carton. i presented the carton as a dada piece i was working on as a joke and asked he if he could sign it. not only he inspected, opened, sign it, he also wrote down a recommendation for a dada book called Young Adult Novel (something similar to Kurt Vonnegut’s Time Quake) on the side. in retrosepct, i feel silly and foolish for subjecting him to such a thing, but im sure he appreciated it and had a laugh about it. (P.S. i tried to find Young Adult Novel but searching only brought up the genre. i’m beginning to think he made it up. did John Green prank me as vengeance for my silly carton act?)
