“You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, ‘Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.’ You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.” — Breakfast at Tiffany’s

“Our page is about the tequila, but it’s also about events and exploring cities. Right now, I’m headed to San Diego for the world championship for dog surfing. Hopefully, we’ll get some great photos of dogs in wet suits.” (The company is in Illinois, but Black operates from his Brooklyn, New York, apartment.)

THE LESSON: Never take yourself too seriously. Dogs in wet suits are awesome.

Hanover, Germany. Kleines Fest.

You walk through the park. You discover a beautiful table. Each plate has a different story told to you. A nice break from all the jugglers and acrobats and funny people here.

Composed of 1,216 bronze droplets attached to individual motorized pulleys, bobs and weaves in Terminal 1’s departure hall at Shanhai’s Changi Airport… this moving artwork is minimalism at its best.

Following orders from a computer program, the globules of “rain” flow like an ocean swell or undulate like a jellyfish’s tentacles. They sometimes cohere unexpected aeronautic shapes, like an airplane, kite and hot-air balloon.

“[Nora Ephron’s] advice was unparalleled. At one of our lunches this past January, I was sheepishly describing a male companion’s lack of support for my professional endeavors. She nodded in a very “don’t be stupid” way, as if I already knew what I had to do: “You can’t possibly meet someone right now. When I met Nick, I was already totally notorious”—note: Nora was the only person who could make that word sound neither braggy nor sinister—“and he understood exactly what he was getting into. You can’t meet someone until you’ve become what you’re becoming.””
