So there’s reality, and then there’s whatever this is.

But before you do, please read my poem in the new issue of Metprhastics, the ekphrastic journal of poems based on works in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; this issue's theme is Arms & Armor. It's my second appearance in this excellent journal.

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.

The thought of being emotionally invested in any politician strikes me as bizarre now.

Also true. All my mother wanted was for me to publish a book, and she died six weeks before my first book came out.

True (with the caveat that it only makes sense if you pretend it came out in 1995).

One Battle After Another is indeed a masterpiece. Like a great 70s or 80s movie but rigorous, none of the excessive shagginess or smug self-indulgence. Riveting drama, sentiment but not sentimentality, comedy and fun in exactly the right amounts. Epic. 👍🏻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=feOQ...

And no one should care about winning prizes unless your mother is still alive; a prize that makes your mom happy is just about the only utility it has (unless there's cash involved, of course).

Now I have Rather’s sign-off rattling around in my brain: “Courage.”

Interesting. I didn’t know this song until it popped up on MTV so had an entirely different (but also deeply sexy) connection to it. But I know what you mean: I was weirded out by the discovery that “Danke Schoen” was sung by Wayne Newton.

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

the planet just seems suddenly all wrong, knowing it lacks Diane Keaton chilling somewhere, all high-collared layers and hats and that personality, telling her incredible and self-deprecating tales of Hollywood's glory days
