Oh well, maybe I wasn't meant to read it yet 31 May 2026 Yesterday I visited the Brooklyn Museum for the first time and to be completely honest, I was disappointed. The collection feels unbalanced and disjointed, and poor placard placement made it difficult to read about the various pieces I was interested in. I wasn't very impressed. – Speaking of placards, I'm fascinated by how differently curators write about old paintings vs. contemporary paintings. Labels on old paintings tend to be interested in the piece for what it is. Its context, its techniques, etc. But contemporary pieces seem more interested in the messaging. They pose the artist's questions to us, tell us what we should be seeing and why, which leaves little open for ambiguity of interpretation. I'm trying not to generalize too heavily, it's something I noticed at the BKM. 28 May 2026 TextEdit is my favorite app 27 May 2026 I live almost entirely in the moment. Sometimes this is good, sometimes this is bad. – A few months ago I wrote something about allowing myself to be like a pebble in a stream, watching the river flow by, but I do think there comes a time where it's time to pick up the pebble and toss it around a little. 26 May 2026 I've been incredibly restless lately, I must have spring fever like my cat. I've desperately been needing to find new ideas, new projects to work on, friends to be around, energy to feed off of 19 May 2026 I have learned to love the smell of the air when it's hot and humid ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐛𝐨𝐱 https://blob.gifcities.org/gifcities/34GPDFDZLL5XGFYX2Y63WRLGXG35A2MV.gif ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
