Music, Movies, and Books

At the risk of sounding too pretentious for words but in the spirit of honest disclosure, I am really into Russian literature right now. I'm reading Pasternak and Dostoevsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got pulled by a cop in between fields of cow pastures at 4 AM after a mad, cathartic painting session in which I was covered head to toe in hues of green, yellow, red and black. I had animalistically set out in a fit of extreme upset to create my first ever Fauvist painting, and I had subsequently covered the steering wheel and myself (and even, somehow, the canvas) with wild color, complete with war paint across both cheeks. The cop had a great sense of humor and let me off because he liked my painting.

Teach, Learn, Share
