MY LIFE 2
When I was 10,
I thought I was "Irish,"
even though I was
born in the USA.
When I was 20,
I thought I was "Black,"
even though my skin
is pink & freckled,
my hair is straight,
and I have no
African ancestry.
When I was 30,
I thought I was "queer,"
even though I was
married and had
two children, and
most of my fantasies
& obsessions & com-
pulsions & attractions
were and had always
been (up until then)
about women.
When I was 40,
I thought I was a
"movie star," even
though the movies
were terrible, and
I was terrible in
them, and almost
no one knew them,
or who I might
have been in them.
When I was 50,
I thought I was
"enlightened," even
though I wasn't.
But of course I was
and am—enlightened,
as I was and still am
—an Irish-Black-
Queer-Movie-Star.

You did pretty good!
Caitlin
Nice to have my taste validated...my feeling was that GRAVITY got way to many awards...it deserved it for CGI ("Special Effects" etc. and maybe a few others, but not most in my opinion...
Didn't see any of them so....But for the editing and all that I never know, it's a crap shoot there to me.
Caitlin
One of the nice things when we lived out there was I could ask friends who had won editing and cinematography Oscars for their opinions to see if they validated mine...I'm happy that the writers got it right...
We watched Gravity the night before on OnDemand & I thought it was pretty mediocre. Thank god Sandra B didn't win for Best Actress. I also didn't think Blue Jasmine was anything to get too excited about. Cate B is a good actress, but that seemed like a not-too-challenging role to me. I was sorry American Hustle didn't get anything, but was delighted that 12 years a Slave did so well.
