ION, I'm struggling to figure out what to say in my Statement of Career Objectives for my library school app. Um, I want to be a librarian! I love books and libraries, and I like organizing stuff. I can't think of anything else to say.
How about "Shhhhhhhhh. Take it outside."?
Pfft. Dude, that is SO 1972 J.G. Ballard's introduction to the French translation of Crash.
Ha! Considering your take on "authenticity," I'd think you would love this book when you're not rolling your eyes at De Zengotita's self-indulgence.
"A very haunted girl, much too bright for her age. She has this Jayne Mansfield body and a horrifyingly great brain."
- John Malkovich, when asked to describe Uma who was 18 when she worked with Malkovich on Dangerous Liaisons (1988). (Cosmopolitan, November 1993)
Of course, Uma at 18 is very different than Uma today.
Interesting NYT article on the diversity of people on Grey's Anatomy.

When did Uma have a Mansfield body? Not in the version of
Dangerous Liaisons
I saw.
I was wondering when pictures would start turning up in this discussion.
Kate, why do you like libraries? Why better than other ways of getting to books? Why do you like organizing stuff? How can these things help people (whenever I had any sort of proposal to write, people told me to put in the "help people" part). Does it help?
I sometimes think Uma is very pretty in that strikingly odd and unusual way, much like Rossy de Palma.
Kate, tell 'em a good taxonomy is better than sex. Okay, not better than actual good sex, but better than this-isn't-going-to-work-out-after-all,-is-it? sex.
Hmm. I think Uma's pretty hot when she's not going to the Oscars. I also prefer the Aguilera to the Spears, although it's only recently I've paid enough attention to pick a side at all. And they both have nice voices. But who is this Sevigny character? And what is up with those clothes interrobang
Nilly and Sparky, thanks for the prompts--they definitely help. I've been rocking the cover letters, but this is much harder.
edit:
heh, amych. I'll try to work that in.
