Random Notes
filed under: disappearing acts, janet jackson, lenny kravitz, nicolas sarkozy, sofia coppolaThere’ll be a proper post once I get a good night’s sleep. In the meantime in-between time, some random notes. Bugged out to learn that Sofia Coppola got stuck for her purse at Le Bon Marché, the Bloomingdale’s-like department store on the Left Bank; not feeling the new Janet Jackson record Discipline, her third clunker in a row; equally disappointed in the new Lenny Kravitz, It Is Time for a Love Revolution, though I liked the ‘net-savvy campaign; watched Disappearing Acts for the umpteenth time this week for black romance movie pointers (better than – gasp – Love Jones?); don’t know if you’ve heard, but the French really and truly call the head of their government President Bling-Bling; and am I a sucker for turning off my set when reality TV got out of control instead of pitching my own show to MTV/VH1/whoever and selling out?

Hey Miles.
The revised and expanded edition of my bookBIg Black Penis: Misadventures in Race and Masculinity dropped last week!! So far, reviews have been good.
I want to go on to the next thing, but the baby is not allowing me to do so. I’m taking this out of her college fund.
