Today I was at the Cleveland Museum of Art with D and D's brother. I like the museum, they have a really nice collection, despite some things still apparently off display due to construction. I also like art museums, I like art in general (it's a shock, I know), however I have no problems whatsoever trotting out the line "I see what the artist was ( Read more... )

I've been working on this for a stupidly long time. Finally, finally I think I'm ready to stop.
