    Is the Library of Congress great? Totally. I mean YES.
    Length of residency: 4evah (though I will occasionally be in residence as a phantom version of myself).
    Project (summarized in one sentence): I'm writing two sentences, deleting one, writing two sentences, deleting two, and so on until the end of time, which coincides with the length of my residency.
