unabashedness

one of my former profs at SFSU [who shall remain nameless] once told maggie right before we started seeing each other "she can be a bit worshipful." and it is true. i can be. only... it really is a diction-related worshipful.

i'm telling you this because i went to see both of kate greenstreet's readings in the bay area this week & i can tell you that i am JUSTIFIABLY WORSHIPFUL of kate greentreet's work... and kate, too... and her husband max....

i will defend myself later ... i just realized i left kate's book at home... but i can tell you that i am not alone. i haven't seen a wait for books to be signed as long as kate's in a many months now. i had to wait thirty minutes to say hello to her last night... she's a popular lady.

i had a dream yesterday morning that E. Tracy Grinnell was now doing backgrounds for cartoons.

i can't explain this.

o, yes, i also wanted to say that i am forever amazed by jessica smith & her curations... such lovely little books! i'm so happy to spend money on them!

you helped me yelling armand. i hate it when people blow people's names. and there is was, standing there blowing it.
