Am I the only one...

...who found the
Olbermann thing to be juvenile and tacky? (I mean, I laughed, and it
was funny, but it certainly felt like childish schoolyard taunting, not
far removed from the kinds of things that piss me off about O'Reilly
himself.)

I want!

I have visions of a dumpling-making party, but I'll probably practice on my own some first.

Spoken-word tidbits

1) Tonight is the beginning of a month of really excellent features in
North Oakland. Come see Allison
Landa tonight at 7, and I'll buy you a cup of coffee. (Nomad Cafe, 65th & Shattuck)

2) Yours truly is featuring on Feb 24th (a Friday night, 6:30pm) at the
Temescal Cafe, 4920 Telegraph Ave. Come hear me do new and old stuff, and
if you let me know you're coming, I'll write a poem inspired by you and
read it that night.

Oh, well

Fifty books in a *year*? I'm lucky if I can finish two books a month. You people are amazing.
