Fun fact: my favorite painter is René Magritte. This, below, is in the Royal Museum in Brussels. David’s The Death of Marat is cool, but it’s really their Magritte collection that makes it one of my favorite art museums. This last one is in the National Gallery in Washington.

In anticipation of my upcoming mini-trip to Pittsburgh, I’ve been trying to get on a little bit of a better schedule. Since I’ve been here, I’m finding myself getting to bed later and later and getting up later and later. In the meantime, my grandmom keeps getting up earlier and earlier. (When I first got [...]
