I'M BACK, WORLD.

36,000 won a MONTH FOR THAT SPEED. NO CONTRACT. SUCK ON IT, ATT&T.

one day. Just like how I'm going to finish Swann's Way at some point before the new year (I bought it a year ago? I think.) but until then, I may just spend my time marveling at how creative and weird and insane Every Page of Moby Dick Illustrated is.

And it makes me wonder if there's a book in my life that I'd illustrate every page of it?

I might enjoy that more than Nanowrimo.

my friend tweeted this and I read it and I fell in love.
