Dana - yay!!!

I'm having an imposter complex day with a side of princess and the pea. Asked to switch hotel rooms cause I was just above the conference center's industrial fans which kept me from smelling well. Chick at the desk wanted to help but couldn't understand my problem and thus wasn't sure where to move me.

Thanks, le nubian.

I'm getting a lot better at letting go of crap that's outside of my control. The situation is stressful, but I'm recognizing when I get agitated and taking a break to calm down.

Meditation, man. I guess it works.

Gah, someone's kicked a power cable somewhere and their IPS is beeping. Must strangle.

I love the picture of Dana here: [link]

Me too!

I am not sure if the stars look older because they are not made up, or if the tintypes make people look rougher than usual (meaning that maybe people didn't look so old at a young age in the olden days!)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

shrift and sarameg, I'm sorry you're having less-than-stellar days.

Congrats, Dana!

Yeah, I didn't think the pictures were flattering. And maybe they weren't supposed to be. But they all kind of looked like zombies, to a lesser or greater extent. Except William Macy, who looked like a hobo.

Put William Macy in different clothes, and he'd be the perfect weatherbeaten pioneer subject of a tintype.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

They weren't their usual Hollywood pretty, but they were incredibly compelling. And Elijah Wood, Nick Cave and (of all people) Flea seem to have absolutely ideal faces for tintypes; I wouldn't have been a bit surprised if the photographer had added a note at the end saying, "Oh, yeah, I threw those three in because I found them in a box of tintypes in someone's attic and they were such great vintage celebrity doppelgangers I couldn't resist."

Oh man, I think Flea is when I started thinking "They look like zombies!"

I guess I'm not a tintype gal.
