Portland, an evaluation

A preference for black-and-white movies, with classically trained actors and actresses who are now dead, does not make her a vampire.

Seurat was a painter Duchamp didn't throw out. Were there others? Duchamp died in 1968, he was 81. Surely by that time there were other painters he didn't throw out.

I'm wondering--which lasts longer: oil paint or a photographic image mounted on paper-- and think I know.

In a coffee shop in Portland last evening I overheard someone talking about the difference between New York City and Los Angeles. This person preferred LA, saying there were many more interesting restaurants there.
