“Van Smith, who was admiringly called both an artist and a terrorist for the costumes and makeup he designed for the films of John Waters, died on Tuesday at his home in Marianna, Fla.”
When I was 9/10 years old there was a serial killer in the Detroit area going around murdering kids. Back then kids actually, you know, went outside and rode bikes and stuff. But after the Oakland County Child Killer murders started happening our moms and dads had us stick around. I didn’t grow up in Oakland Country but the whole Metro area was pretty freaked out. My memories of 1976/1977 are a weird mix of: the US bicentennial, Mark “The Bird” Fidrych, Charlie’s Angels / Six Million Dollar Man / Bionic Woman, and a substantial fear of a serial killer.

Jeez, that Naropa library position looks like fun! $40K seems kind of underpaid for that position in Boulder, though — I mean, I know library jobs never pay that great, but isn’t it really expensive to live in Boulder?
I don’t ever want to be the director of anything, though. I like being able to pass the buck.
