julie klausner on joan rivers

she wrote a lovely piece about her experiences working with joan on several projects. it's touching.

It never once occurred to me that Joan Rivers could die. Like everyone else, I can’t remember a time in which she wasn’t around. Joan has always been in the cultural conversation; so much so that we took her for granted. She was always there, like Santa Claus or the New York Post, or the sun or the moon. The fact that she was 81 when she died seems irrelevant, even insulting to mention. Joan was ageless. She went out buzzing. (via)

julie re-posted the joan rivers episode of how was your week?, which was a sweet thing to do.
