The regularity with which people casually cite really big writers at any given time, the regularity that list will be all-male or nearly all-male, in the United States, is astonishing. Even from afar, when people write in Britain who the great writers are in the United States, without forcing themselves of being mindful and trying to think of some women, they’ll rattle off a bunch of men. That is discouraging. I don’t know why it’s worse in the U.S., but it is. … I believe in the United States, the Great American Novel translates to Big Fat Novel Written by a man. It is, by definition, by a man. That term is never applied to a woman. It’s not as if women just sit around writing about recipes! Plenty of women write about the state of the country and have some scope to their work. But they will not invite that term. There is just a persistent impression in the U.S. that the pantheon is populated by men.

Gwyn, I found you a new gif for you! BTW I’m calling us Tascioni buddies since Chuck is now done (and I’m so many episodes behind on that show…)

This is an Elsbeth Tascioni appreciation blog.

Now someone please make a gif set of the Sedaris/Cumming whipped cream bar scene. okthxbai

I’m assuming this is about Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close? I saw it a couple weeks ago, actually.  My thoughts on it are here.

Y’all should come! (if you’re in Austin on 2/1)

Just watched this pilot. It is so amazing. I literally love everyone in it (Hello, Anjelica Huston!), the musical numbers are great, it’s funny, it’s sexy, the characters are so bitchy it warms my heart, etc, etc. I love it. I love it. I love it.

It’ll probably be canceled soon. Sigh.

I know I’m supposed to be rooting for Katherine McPhee’s character the most (aren’t I?), but I’m really pulling for the blonde. Of course, I’ve only seen the pilot… twice.

Also, I love Debra Messing’s role soooooo much (and her take on it, of course).

More ’90s era Shawn Colvin… although I didn’t own this album til the aughts.*

*yes, I call them the aughts!

I couldn’t make it through 30 seconds of the Miley Cyrus cover of “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go,” and had to clean it out of my ears by finding this much much better cover of Bob Dylan’s song by Shawn Colvin.

Related: one of my high school teachers had Colvin’s Cover Girl album on tape and let me borrow it to make myself a copy.

I had another teacher who wouldn’t let students borrow tapes to copy, but would make copies for them herself. During class, she would be dubbing tapes and have to pause class to flip them.

Oh, the ’90s.
