a picture and some words

Run until your lungs are sore, until you find an open door.
That's what Thom Yorke said anyway.

To J.D. Salinger:
Rest in peace old friend. Holden Caulfield and Franny Glass taught me to be brooding and petulant at 14 (a phase I got over by 15, thank God.) And despite what critics say, I don't think you peeked with The Catcher in the Rye, I always liked Franny and Zooey best. It blew my eighth-grade mind (kind of the way seeing "The Royal Tenenbaums" in sixth-grade did, which ironically, is supposed to be loosely based on the Glass family.)

Today was a good one.
