Gods help me, I’ve figured out how Google Reader works and because it was ugly I combined it with feedly, which means that I will have even less free time as my daily content dump grows ever larger. For a long time my LJ friends page was enough contact with the outside world. Now I’m going to be even more over-informed.
But of course I could have much bigger problems. In fact I would have to be taking chutzpah pills for an entire year before I could aspire to have problems as big as the ones Annie Leibovitz has. Whenever something like this makes its way into the daylight, I have to suppress a chortle over how people earnestly debate the ethics of “selling out” when someone buys something you made. The sheer sums are staggering. The urge to schadenfreude, overwhelming. But as someone who has had issues with money and debt throughout my life I wouldn’t wish those kinds of pressure on anyone. The sense that your entire life is mortgaged must be simply brutal.
Makes figuring out how to deal with my clutter issues seem positively enticing.
I don’t know what any of this has to do with a drawing of a foot that I found on the street.
