hemorrhaging money/white jeans/busy season/etc

finally bought white jeans! have no money in bank account to support this purchase, but had to buy a new dress, skirt, and tank top for our benefit in new york (hopefully sending back at least one of these items), and had to buy mom present for her birthday, so credit card just feels like a bird that’s flying and was like why not also fly on some white jeans. other recent developments: neighbor dogs barking all night;  re-addicted to 30 rock; enjoyment of beer on an empty stomach; getting my hair cut tomorrow; and exploring life lived on potato chips, cookies, vanilla cake, and salad.

Zanele Muholi’s Zimaseka “Zim” Salusalu, Gugulethu, Cape Town, from the series “Faces and Phases” — one of jerry saltz’s picks from the armory show. in his words, “Intense portraits of African lesbians who are out and in danger at all times. Pretty powerful.”

I’m sorry to say I like all the crime shows

from the vulture interview with lily tomlin:

You used to go to showrunners and ask to guest-star on their programs: The X Files, The West Wing, Damages. Is there anything you’d like to be on today?
A lot of jobs I got like that. I got on Damages because I was mad for it, and The West Wing because I was bereft that I wasn’t on it. I went up to Chris Carter and I said, “I want to be on it!” when The X Files first came on. “Anything?” I’m sorry to say I like all the crime shows, but I have a heavy reaction if there’s too many dead females in the plot. I’ve turned down some decent roles, because you have to jump from twenty stories and go through the roof of a bus, and you’re all mangled. So I always hate those. And I don’t want to hold up people who have no virtue whatsoever as role models, because we fall in love with those people! It’s like Tony Soprano, he’s a real brute. Throws some girl over the desk and fucks her from behind, and then he’d go to the psychiatrist and we empathize with him. For adults, we should be able to absorb that and come out the other side in a wholesome way, but it’s hard.
