Questions after midnight.

Typewriting.
A collection of photos of writers and their typewriters. Makes me sigh for my old Brother typewriter. Particularly poignant given recent news that no one is manufacturing typewriters anymore, anywhere.
Obsessive compulsion
If you have a choice between handwashing and paperfolding, please go with the latter.

Shadow self.
In life, you find yourself in a dark room from which you cannot see any way out. You are groping blindly along the walls, which are featureless and smooth. Finally, after what seems an eternity, you find in the dark a doorknob. When you turn it, a door opens, and you pass into another chamber, only to find that it, too, is perfectly dark and featureless. When you finally find another door, it opens into another dark chamber. And so it repeats, a blind stumbling, until one day, after a lifetime of searching, you open a door into a new place, one that is not dark, but perfectly, radiantly light. That last door is death.
People working in kitchens.

There are few things more appealing than the look of rapt concentration on the face of a competent person doing something difficult. I also like looking into kitchens. This is a lovely collection of photographs.
War fetish.
Some photographs of the Afghanistan war by Kevin Frayer. I wish they were not beautiful but they are.

Entangled particles.
Quantum entanglement describes the metaphysics of devotion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement
“Two particles can be related, or ‘entangled,’ in such a way that they instantly coordinate their properties regardless of distance in space and time…Eistein found entanglement particularly troubling, denigrating it as ‘spooky action at a distance.'” – Rivka Galchen, “Dream Machine: the Mind-Expanding World of Quantum Computing,” in the New Yorker, May 2nd, 2011.
Einstein could barely bring himself to believe in quantum physics, and resisted their influence until his death. Einstein also resisted love.
“If we are to survive in the environment we have made ourselves, may we have to be monstrous enough to greet our predicament?” – Nicholas Mosley, Hopeful Monsters (Dalkey Archive Press, 1991).
There is something monstrous about our interweavings, the invisible bonds that tangle our fates together, and something monstrous in the moment of reveal, when two particles collide in recognition.
