(ok, it's true I never liked xxxx xxxxxxx anyway, but he's so patronizing!). Anyway, have you sent that somewhere? If not, send it to Callaloo--the best of these 4 articles was in there--I bet they'd publish yours.
. In other news, not much. If we can find a babysitter we may go see a new documentary on Martin and Lyons on monday, which would be fun. Homophiles unite, I always say!

>>>Hey, K---,
>>>Thanks! I sent it to Cinema Journal. Then I lost the acknowledgment letter. So now I don't know what to do about asking them what's up with it. Maybe the letter told me how long to wait before asking. Maybe it gave me a manuscript number to refer to. But I don't know, and my apt. is so chaotic I can't find the letter (I saw it in the vicinity of the desk a couple months ago....). Any suggestions? (I sent it in August or September.)

I must say that your speed and eptitude (is that even a word?)with the good uses of the web come closer than anything else I've encountered to persuading me that I should buck up and learn how to do it...maybe over the summer...For now I'm trying to figure out enough about blinds (who cares?) to buy some that will keep my kid from waking up at, literally, dawn's first light. Horridly bourgeois, I know, but my sanity is dependent on not getting woken by her everyday at 6 am.

hmmm sleep mask...worth a try. I was considering giving her gin, myself.Reminds me of a (what I like to think of as) a recent "Ithaca moment":mp went to see her acupuncturist, who's also a dyke mom and pal of ours, and was telling her about AL of hothead paisan (tho only at home, thankfully)--hitting, using "mean words", general non-compliance and outright defiance at every turn--and the acupucnturist (I am not making this up) said to give her pickles andgreens, because she's having an upper giao or something deficiency.xoxoK
