This is probably old news, but I am easily amused and fascinated.
Art school kids are either in huge debt or they’ve got wealthy parents.
I spent $150 this week alone on art supplies.
It makes me happy that I’m not an art major.
I’m usually not very open with my parents. This doesn’t mean we don’t get along, I just don’t tell them stuff about my personal life. No matter how hard they probe!

Like all men not really up to their job, he was a stickler for externals and petty quotidian things; and in lieu of an intellect he had accumulated an armoury of capitalized key-words like Discipline and Tradition and Responsibility.

Chinese meteorologists have for years sought to make rain by injecting special chemicals into clouds.
