That last piece of naan bread that’s been halved and halved and halved, because everyone’s too polite to take the last bit.

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?

The flavour of acute depression consisting in agitated mind, catatonic body, dissolved soul.

I don’t know… which makes me want to revive a former Saturday ritual with housemates in New York — Chinatown day spa, facial and manicure, then Old Fashioneds at the Randolph.

What's the last meme/reading/song you shared with Bloom?

Who are you?
