HARDCORE CROSSWORD PUZZLE 001
In an effort to keep my brain occupied while not engaging with the outside world, I’ve discovered the joy of crossword puzzles. Not completing them of course. That would take actual brains. No, while recovering from what’s known in the medical field as a floppy peehole, I made my own crossword puzzle. While arranging it, I tried to go for a mix of hardcore nerdery and the type of shit that even a Pitchfork staffer would know. If it doesn’t challenge you, I hope you at least enjoy it. After all, isn’t that what we all look for in great art?
