    • Back to the Breadline I suppose I should take a moment to expand a bit on today's happenings, though there's really not a whole lot more to say than what I tweeted earlier: the company needs to cut back, and as I was a temp employee, I was easily expendable.

    • On battling stereotypes The current March/April issue has a rundown of six top Oscar contenders: Nicole Kidman, Jack Nicholson, Julianne Moore, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Anniston, and Robin Williams. In the article, there were two quotes from Nicholson and Hanks that really stood out to me in the differences between how the two actors confront the stereotypes they've been saddled with — and illustrates why I tend to think more of Nicholson than I do of Hanks.
    • Sleep – from the painting by Salvadore Dali This is a piece I wrote in 11th grade, which would put it at around 1989 or 1990. We were given an assignment to write an essay exploring any painting we chose, and the teacher was kind enough to leave the exact nature of the requested essay very open for interpretation. Salvadore Dali has long been one of my favorite artists, so I chose his painting 'Sleep' to work with.
