“The First-Day Pop“
(Overly serious/ernest?) Neil Gaiman addressing the Class of 2012
“But people keep working in a freelance world … because their work is good, and because they’re easy to get along with, and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three. Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everybody else if you on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.” – Neil Gaiman

c/o lifehacker.com - Hit & Miss bares some interesting questions about nudity on television | Television & radio | guardian.co.uk
“[O]ne of the striking aspects of new Sky Atlantic drama Hit & Miss, Paul Abbott and Sean Conway’s compelling drama about a transgender assassin played by Chloe Sevigny, is that it contains a moment that attempts to make the case for a full-frontal nude scene that is dramatically crucial and completely non-gratuitous.
“Sevigny’s character Mia, who is undergoing hormone treatment prior to the final transformative operation, stands naked in front of a mirror. The unusual complexity of this image is that the viewer is seeing male and female nakedness simultaneously, being shown genuine breasts and a prosthetic penis.” - SASS vs. LESS | CSS-Tricks

In the scenes involving Nola, Scarlett Johansson forgets how to act.
RIP Donna Summer
I was never a big disco fan, growing up with punk, but “I Feel Love” had an amazingly heavy bass line and I’m sorry to hear Donna Summer has died so young.
