Ann Lamott - I got to hear her speak today at the book fair. this was huge. someone that i dont like anymore gave me her book 'Operating Instructions' in the aftermath of the earthquake when i had lost my home, was going through the divorce and was being stalked. it was a very bad time and this book just saved me. she wrote about being a single mom, being poor, being hopeful,being tired. i love her.

I have wanted to go to the book fair for 10 years and it never worked out. It was heavenly. I could have spent so much money. I bought recordings for Cornell West and John Trudell from KPFK. They gave me a cd with highlights of DNC,RNC from the last 50 years.
I got a great book for blake - a group of interviews with punk musicians about being on the road.
And a cool one called lessons in taxidermy by a new writer called bee lavender that I got to meet. Simon got to see Kevin Smith. We shared a hot dog. Me and simon, that is.

came home. made him his goddam tuna cassarole and some brownies. we watched deadwood together and now i am going to have a lovely bubble bath and a glass of red. thank you very much.
