"Ms. O'Donnell, drop the glue gun and back away, slowly."

I was just telling someone her paintings look like second-rate Jackson Pollock knock-offs.

Wonk, you just laid some serious shit on me there with that little missive.

I wrote a book a while ago but couldn't get it published. I stay up late at night rewriting it and for the life of me cannot give up the notion that I might get lucky and get published and that through the book, I'll at least have had some sort of impact on the world. As pragmatic as I am, the idea that I might leave this world without ever having made a definite footprint really sticks in my gullet. I wish I had your ability to find peace in what you do. That satisfaction seems so utterly fantastic an ellusive to me. Perhaps I'm naively holding on to delusions of grandeur. I just always thought there'd be more juive to this life than what I've currently got. How did you get to your contentment? Did it slowly creep in over time or did you resign yourself to making it so?

I can't stop writing this book, and its driving me crazy. Perhaps ADHD meds are in order...

At the risk of sounding morbid, I found amazing peace in proving true an ER doctor's prediction that "you probably won't die."

After my heart attack, I had a lot of time to think (much of it through the clarity of some heavy pain killers) and I realized that life isn't a journey. It just is. Until one day it isn't.

I'm lucky enough to have chosen a profession that I enjoy and a practice area that amuses and challenges me. I do the best I can, and I am happy when I find value or answer a tough question.

Keep writing the book. But don't do it because you have to get it published. Do it because you find something in the process of working on it. Either publication will come as it improves, or you'll find the way to a new story that might get published. Either way, concentrate on the work, not the result. You can influence the former, but not the latter.

Yez. Everyone with award-winning gams should wear short skirts.

Jackson Pollock? With her interesting use of materials, I would have said fifth rate Marcel Duchamp.

Speaking of Duchamp, did anyone else ever make the Pilgrimage to PS 1 (pre-MOMA) when they did "Storage"? This must have been '97 or '98. It was an amazing show.

Mrs. Not Bob went Hollywood recently (as did slave? that might explain her muttering about never trusting a guy who wears leather pants with a feather boa again, but I digress), and tried the airbrushed tan thingy. Her verdict was that it wasn't worth the hassle.

So, Wait -- I Didn't Get the Job?

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A note to all job seekers: you know that your employment interview did not go well when your prospective boss calls the police in to arrest you.

Anthony Kaleb Phillips, 20, was hauled away from an interview for a job with a construction company in Stillwater, Oklahoma last week after employees recognized the job applicant as the person seen on a surveillance videotape robbing the same business just one day before, police said on Monday.

The Gap is now at Haight & Ashbury. Sad, no?

Child,

The community has heard enough about the hotness of the greatwhitenorthchick. She has made it with famous hockey players; she is too pretty and too young looking to be a lawyer, etc. etc. Your fawning is completely superfluous and, quite frankly, it does not become you. You swatted E/O down so righteously with her "Oh, the perils of fame, I find it so tiresome" post. So why not this poster? Egos must be checked on a neutral basis. Turn the other cheek. And all that.

Jesus.

No. But if you're ever in the Boston area I highly recommend a visit to MOBA (the Museum of Bad Art). *That's* a museum that knows how to put on a show. (And who knows? Perhaps Rosie will appear on its hallowed walls someday!)

There is also one on St. Mark's Place, for those keeping track.

Praise be Jesus! But wasn't it the virtuous E/O whom did deny Francis 3 times ere the cock crowed?!?

June 10 — Will Madonna fall into the Gap? Lest it be said that the cutting-edge fashionista is no longer a force in the world of clothes, Madonna is close to signing a deal to do television commercials for the Gap, her spokeswoman tells The Scoop.
THE MATERIAL GIRL — who was once known for her Gautier pointed bras — will appear wearing corduroy jeans alongside rapper Missy Elliott.
She’s already scheduled to shoot the ads in Los Angeles later this month, though her spokeswoman says that there are some last-minute details to work out before the contract is signed.
“We’re moving forward on it,” says Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, “but it’s not a done deal.”
Madonna's long fall from the top

So it's come to this? Doesn't she have enough money? Why is she doing this? Does she even know where the Gap is?

I assume her new love of The Gap is somehow related to The Gap between her front teeth. But I could be wrong...
