I consulted this for information about Thomas de Quincey because he arose in that Wanderlust book. He lived and walked in the past and wrote things that some people consider to be very good to read for different reasons. I am sorry that I do not find that very interesting, I am trying to kill irrelevant information by leaving it 'here'. He did smack before it was cool and for that we should all lick his gravestone to pieces. Why is any of this important?

I am just minutes away from scooping new objects, all of which must be far more exciting than the ones that I have lazily de-shelved thus far. This is not a joke - this is your future. I understand that, I do care about it, I just cannot find a philosophical victory over the 'mankind made it so it's probably crap' angle. Just a phase. I hate all of this complication, art I love slays it. Things are things. Be simplest with Simplism, my art brand, where stuff is stuff and food is food. I don't give a shit about intellectual pursuits. I just want to live and look at things and eat and be adult [!] and have shelter and die. I think that making unnecessary things is destructive to the simplicity of the world. I want to make simple things. I will, I will write a simple essay and enjoy a simple understanding knowing that I am happy like that. Death to bulk. Ironic pause. Slump.
