rocking the sweatshirt-around-the-waist look

Suzanne pointed out that anyone tagged in a photo can click a "download" option. Now I have no excuse not to post my unflattering Vasquez Rocks pics. I'm throwing in the butt shot for good measure. At least Jose, JoAnna and the desert look lovely.

I hope you were wearing sunscreen!

On a film shoot I was on in the desert ages ago, we all spent the day with hats, shades, and bandannas over our faces since the wind was blowing so much.

Before clicking on the photos to enlarge, I'm thinking, "I don't remember Cheryl having an entire sleeve of ink on her left arm" (I'm not even sure it's tattoos I'm seeing - so my apologies to JoAnna).
The Perpetual Mind State of an 8-year old, here: it would make me smile to think of having used crayons in grad school while viewing monthly loan statements!

C: It's been a while, but I'm guessing I was. I'm pretty good about the sunscreen.

TL: Well, I never blow-dry my hair, but that's just laziness.

PV: I'm pretty sure those are shadows, although JoAnna did have a MEChA tattoo on her stomach. She was quite the activist.

1. cirque love Since starting gymnastics at age five—or at least since reading Geek Love in college—I’ve wanted to run away and join the circus. Actually, the problem was that I wanted to join the circus but I didn’t want to run away. How fortunate, then, that AK found out about Cirque School , where you can lea rn the trapeze arts without ever leaving L.A. She gave me a class for my birthday, which I finally redeemed last night (after reading up on it, I decided it sounded kind of hardcore, and that I needed to build up some flexibility and upper body strength before going—I’m not sure that happened, but a month passed, I was a little closer to reuniting with my left splits and I was itching to take the class). The classes are held at Absolution L.A. , a small West Hollywood studio walled with honey-colored wood and stocked with pilates machines, trapezes, a climbing wall, red vinyl chairs and other items of expensive-looking fu rn iture. It reminded me, I told AK later,

Recently one of my therapists (plural) told me I talk too much. Well, technically she said that while doing EMDR, she needed to interrupt my highly intellectualized storytelling more, so that we could prioritize reprocessing rather than letting me tip into re-experiencing trauma. And she said it very nicely. But a little part of me heard "You're too much for your therapist, and now you have failed," and of course that kind of thinking is why I'm in therapy. Today I listened to this episode of This American Life, in which Yousef (above, with his family), an incredibly determined, kind, and good-humored Palestinian man, talks about how his two-year-old son wants "a thousand kisses" before going to bed. He laughs and says he doesn't mind. In nearly the same breath, he says he regrets having kids, because what's the point of having children if you can't protect them? I wanted to jump through my car radio and hug him, or some other useless action, be
