"The litany of proper nouns bypasses seduction, bludgeoning our sense-making faculties: Which word corresponds to a brand, which to a place, which to a person? The Lower East Side comes to seem like a William Gibson novel, its narrators introducing alien signifiers that may or may not be explained later.

david lynch interview about smoking and emphysema has this quote that’s been lodged in my brain. "I don't regret it. It was important to me. I wish what every addict wishes for: that what we love is good for us."
