Dick Cheney is Always Relevant
DEVON: I have work at 6am. Occupational hazard of being a struggling artist type.
NICOLE S: I don't envy your hours but at least you don't have 100-hour weeks right? That's what future investment banker types have to look forward to.
DEVON: True. But don't you get a return on investment for your time with an early retirement?
NICOLE S: If you don't have a heart attack first from stress and lack of sleep, yes.
DEVON: Hey, Dick Cheney is still alive even though he literally doesn't have a heartbeat.
NICOLE S: Well, that's reassuring. I definitely forgot he was still kicking, so props to him.
DEVON: I don't think even death could keep Dick from kicking things.
NICOLE S: I see what you did there.

NICOLE: He thought I didn't understand French. He was mistaken.
DEVON: We built a Disneyland Paris. It's clear who won.

The Hazards of Caped Crusading
DEVON: The summer must really suck for Batman. I'm not just talking about having to wear all-black during a fictional New York City's heatwave. He also has fewer hours with which to patrol the night, since the days are longer.
NICOLE: Do you spend a lot of time thinking about these sorts of things?

And Now, Some Unanticipated Candor
I tried to kill myself a week ago today.
Truthfully, I tried to kill myself four times, all of them in my apartment, once with a pocketknife, once with a steak knife, and twice with a razor blade. It wasn’t a particularly fun game of Clue.
I wish I could tell you why I tried to commit suicide, but I don’t believe that there is any definitive answer to that question. In my experience,...

Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
– Mark Twain.
Each time I come across this quotation, I think I understand a little bit more about it. An elegant turn of phrase containing as much wisdom as wit.

DEVON: I wish somebody would just fucking annex them already.
