Today, I ate sorbet at bent spoon. I ordered a small with a scoop of Dark Chocolate and Grapefruit; the first spoonful produced a surprising oral sensation - strong sourness combined with a dark sweetness. Upon finishing my sorbet I realized that the identical sensation experienced by my taste buds had been experienced by my eyes while watching this film. Enjoy.

Desire
I came across this particularly interesting song last christmas and have decided to share it. My hypothesis: this song contains within it the mystical power to induce the feeling of Saudade: a portugese word for the nostalgic longing for a lost loved object. (Latent within it is a repressed knowledge or belief that the missed object is lost forever; the present is rejected in favor of a distant past or an empty future)
Let us be wary: we must be cognizant of music's power to conjure up the strongest of emotions.
Enjoy!
In other news: The Library of Congress posted a catalog of Hitler's private collection of art. It is, surprisngly, boring.
