Okay. After swooning for about a week or two thinking that he must be, I've decided JT Leroy probably doesn't exist in true human my-mother-sarah-was-a-lot-lizard flesh form. I must be late in this news headline department, but he/she was a nice idea while he/she breathed in mutemoxieworld. Am I naive for thinking he was for real? Am I now a terrible person for thinking he's not, that he could have a less trumpet sex change existence? woe is me. i am so slow.

I noticed i didn't update the entire duration of march, so here's a wee summary:

-We met Kozyndan! When I saw Dan, I just opened my mouth and babbled, which is very unlike me. Kozy is too cute. oh the kozyndan effects! Truest, most magnetic talented couple ever.
-Work paid for me to go see an exhibition called 'The Amazing Human Body', which displayed about 20 plastinated (fluidless) skinless human bodies from Beijing and about 100 plastinated human organs for us to woo and ahh at. VERY GROSS but intriguing. It was supposed to help me with my drawings, and I'll say it did. Walking out I felt like the human body is just another 'thing', another physical element that's part of nature, just a thing to prod and dispose of when it stops living, all compacted into a structure of living matter. WIERD. BUT it totally turned me off smoking forever and ever. Lungs can get so black and it looks so sickly and disgusting, like blackest tar suffocating tiny pores...like a starry filled sky being overtaken by the blackness of night from the absence of the sun? I mean, you see the effects of smoking from pictures of fatty aortas and tar infested lungs, but to see it in REAL life injected in your eyeballs, really presses your buttons more than any still image or video tape ever could.

Anyway, I was dying to take photographs but there were scary men standing everywhere, so I sneaked a phone picture. He's skinless and asian and looked wonderful :)
