"For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn." Hemingway (supposedly) wrote this 6-word short story to settle a bar bet. The Intarwebs tells me that Hemingway prided himself on this story (it's actually very good). To relieve a little stress and reduce the monotony of my life, I'm going to try to write as many (crappy) six word phrases as possible on my new journal. Unfortunately, the current story is a poop joke. Oh well.

Supposedly by looking at this picture of a dancer twirling, you can tell if you're right or left brained.

I can't get the dancer to go counter-clockwise, no matter how hard I try.

if you look at the shadow of her working leg, it'll switch when her toes seem to point away from you, if you tell yourself it's going the other way. it helps to cover up the person part of the image too.

it switches a lot for me, like every few seconds. i'll need stare at it with someone else to really believe that i see it switching and they don't.

I stared at that thing for five minutes. It does not switch to counter clockwise. I think it's a big conspiracy to drive us all nuts.

I've read that six word story before. What a powerful story. Here's one for all you A appreciators out there. You know who you is, Roy Kim.

Smother me please, fluffy ass pillow.
