not always strapped in

just read the excellent obituary for music industry legend seymour stein — who signed the ramones, madonna, talking heads, the pretenders; founded sire records; etc. etc. — which led me to this article about the murder (!) of his ex-wife (and ramones manager) (!), linda s. stein. this bit:

The Steins eventually grew apart, and divorced in the late 1970s. A Vanity Fair profile of Ms. Stein later quoted her ex-husband as saying: “Our marriage for me was like eight years on a roller coaster, and not always strapped in.”

he was a straight razor in the form of an actor

loved this article about the actor tom sizemore:

he was a straight razor in the form of an actor: functional, elegant, beautiful in repose, but capable of unfolding himself without warning and cutting the viewer to the bone. He gave the meanest, bloodiest films a jolt just by showing up. In quieter, more tenderhearted roles, he radiated a mix of discomfort, sorrow, and impending self-negation that only sometimes seemed indicated by the script.
