Loss of Control
This week alone, I’ve diagnosed myself with three cancers: brain cancer, melanoma of the eye, and cervical cancer. I get this way whenever I have doctors appointments. I had an eye exam yesterday, and during my last two eye exams I was diagnosed with a pseudo-tumor and a nevus of the eye, consecutively.

An Open Letter...
Look at you. Just look at you. With your jewel-toned dress and black pumps and full make-up. It’s not even 7:30am. But it’s good that you’re ready. You’ll be the first to sing today.

When in fact there are parts of us, in a way, that are a lot more ambitious than that…I think what we need is seriously engaged art, that can teach us again that we’re smart. And that there’s stuff that TV and movies–although they’re great at certain things–cannot give us. But that we have to create the motivations for us to want to do the extra work, you know, to get these other kinds of art.
