Tomorrow and Thursday, I will be taking Lynda Barry's fab-o writing class in West L.A. I am a wee bit nervous. The class is all paid for (thanks to my parents and sister as my birthday/Christmas present! woo hoo!)...yet I am feeling guilty for taking it now when life is so roller coastery-ish right now. Nervous and excited at the same time :)Speaking of Miss Lynda B, here are some online interviews in which you can bask in her groovyness. Here and here.
If you are in L.A., Lynda Barry & Matt Groening will be in conversation at The Hammer TONIGHT (Tuesday).

Anyone else get really pissed at Oprah's "What I Know for Sure?" column in the Holiday issue of O? The article blames the American public for the world's economic problems...saying that it was caused by our "Greed". This month's issue recommends things that are outrageously priced $89 for NINE cupcakes (for $89, I could make enough cupcakes to feed Rhode Island), clothes that go for hundreds and hundreds of dollars, insanely priced make up, etc... Excuse me, who's greedy? It says NOTHING about the damn CEO's, the banks, the mortgage companies, the ones with the real BUCKS whose greed caused the problems in the first place. It really pissed me off. I am thinking of canceling my subscription.
