What should I do next?
in life, I mean. Really. I thrive well with two, three, even five year plans. I don’t have one and it’s making me twitchy. I think the real answer is mellow out but. What next?
Is there an actor shortage in Hollywood?
I had similar thoughts when about half of Battlestar Galactica showed up in S1 of Dollhouse.
Because it seems like the same 10 people are popping up on every show and it’s really disorienting.
Last night the principal from Glee was playing the Indian kid’s dad on Community (at least they didn’t use Ranjit from How I Met Your Mother, I guess.) Also on Community is Pete Campbell’s wife from Mad Men, except she looks about 15 years younger. Speaking of Mad Men, Roger Sterling’s child-bride is on that show Flash Forward playing a teenager, I think. Flash Forward also stars D.A. Carver from Law & Order, Penny from Lost, and, at some point, Charlie from Lost.
I’m sure there are more examples of this but seriously, what’s the deal?

Young Kubrick.
How do I explain this without sounding nutty. No, I can’t. So, here it goes.
I grieved the loss of Stanley Kubrick, the artist, the visionary, when he died, but I also grieved the loss of never being able to meet the man, to tell him, “thank you for bringing stories to the world, bigger in scope than any novel, any prose, into a grand visual format — you helped me evolve how I communicate with the world. You made me want to make films, and though I haven’t yet, I have an obsession with preserving them, making them available to others. This language you helped me discover saved me in more ways than I can count.”
If I were ever to be lucky enough to work in the Stanley Kubrick archives, I could reach no higher professional peak. I know that I would bound out of bed each day filled to the brim with desire to help people delve into his materials, to unravel and marvel at the tapestry that is Kubrick’s body of work.

—Susan Miller, AstrologyZone.com for Virgo, September 2009.…By temporarily taking away your usual sources of support you will learn new ways to develop and grow independently. Although Saturn’s methods are extreme, he does get the results he is after - to make you stronger and more resourceful than you ever were before. Afterward you will feel as though you’ve become much more mature and seasoned. This is a month to drop any fantasies you have harbored and to see thing as they really are.

Lisanti’s Mad Men Power Rankings
2. Peggy (up) Last week: 3 “I’m Peggy Olson, and I want to smoke some marijuana!” “I am so high!” “I’m in a very good place right now!” “I am not scared of any of this. But you’re scared, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I’m going to do everything you want for me. I’m going to be fine, Olive. I really am.” [Ed.note—At this point our transcription skills may have faltered somewhat, due to the “Get totally high with Peggy Olson” game we were playing. Cheeto-slicked fingertips are less than optimal for transcribing.] Peggy Olson totally tokes weed! Between last week’s Trojanless jaunt to Fellatio Falls with the dumdum from the bar, and last night’s chemical experimentation, the 60s are happening all over her. She’s sexually liberated, she’s smoking the drugs with the boys, she’s taking charge of the creative for the Bacardi account while high out of her effing mind. If Don goes another week without getting his ennui-stick wet, Peggy will threaten to wrest the top spot from his complacent grasp.

— John Banville (via distorte)Most of the stuff that people churn out on the internet is rubbish. People should learn a little bit of reticence and not imagine that they have things to say.
About
Hi, I'm Kate. While completing my graduate degree in archival studies, I felt an urge to collect my personal online fonds for the curious. In essence, everything I post here is imbued with meaning for me. You are what you consume; what is past is prologue, etc.
I have a long and varied internet past, but I find this humble little Tumblr is the best home for me right now. I like sharing good things with good people.
I can be reached at attemptress (at) gmail dot com.
