As requested earlier this week, allow me to present my brain, a scientific rendering:
Here is a link to a larger version.
I hope this has been instructive.
Deplorable solipsism? The new face of literature? Or merely a clever procrastination device...

I like that Paint colors for non-existent house is like quadruple the real estate apportioned for Sex. Aye!
Hey! I have fondue in my brain too!
your brain stem is SO thin. how are you functioning?
I love your brain illustration. There are many good things in there. It made me laugh. I love dairy products too.
Agh! Despite my huge computer screen I just squinted my way through the entire diagram, pausing to chuckle of course, before I scrolled down and saw “a larger version”. Zounds!
What does that say about my brain…?
I love your writing and I love love love this post.
You are THE funniest person. Ever.
Adoringly,

Seriously, I am your long lost twin, separated from you at birth. Will call when I’m next in the Twin Cities. If only I’d known you were so close during those tortuous grad school years at the U.
My favourite: The Goat Center.

I’m noticing ‘sorrow’ is roughly the same size and shape as ‘intellectual inquiry’. I wonder if there’s a correlation. Someone should do a study.
Please submit this to the New Yorker, for you may have found your new calling. Thank you.
This is great. I’m quite sure you fall well within the range of normal – which is, of course, why this is so great!
This is AWESOME – how did you get in my head? Overarching shroud of vague anxiety? Check. (what a drag it is – can it be surgically removed, do you think?) Song lyrics? Check.

Salt bagel with plain cream cheese OR green-olive cream cheese? Check.
This is brilliant.
utterly wonderful.
omg, I love love love this…
This made my day…….hilarious
Ha. This is great.
Goat center. The best.
I’d like to make mine, but it wouldn’t be a tenth as funny.
Coming in quite late to say I love this. Reminds me of a Roz Chast cartoon….
