It's Raining Florence Henderson doesn't learn something new every day. He forgets something old every day. And sometimes he eats a bagel.

OMG pieisexactlythree is the coolest person I know.

Also: matteo, I really wish I could show you a particular book I have which has, among other fascinating architectural wonders, a number of photographs of the interior of Picasso's residence.

Ambrosia's theory was that attempting to frame oneself as a phenomenon and discussing one's impact on culture from a faux-objective standpoint was deliciously gauche, but she was always more aligned with postmodernism than modernism.

My son used to do this a lot when he was about three or so. He'd stand up and announce "Miles would like a cookie now. Miles is not tired and he doesn't want to take a nap; he wants to go to the playground." It was a little surreal but entertaining nonetheless.

I once slept in Picasso's (hotel) room in Mougins hoping that it would affect my dreams

"Miles would like a cookie now. Miles is not tired and he doesn't want to take a nap; he wants to go to the playground."

it's extremely cute!

Hermitosis awoke on the floor, shivering. Because that's where he sleeps, and one of his roommates left the kitchen window wide open last night.
