 I never do any personal P.R. because...well, it seems to me that it never makes any difference. Its just one of those things I have learned by being alive. And there are few enough of those things. But it seems I learn this one over and over. Still...I will make that weak attempt one more time. For no reason at all. So okay, three things.

 1. Here is someone else's blog  about me, my dogs and coffee.Its

2. I am reading Thursday night at the anniversary show of something called Tasty Words. In L.A. You can find out about it here:

3. I am also reading on Sept 29 at something else in L.A. called Women Who Write. You can read about it here.

4. I am taking a class in Maya at the Otis art institute and it is so confusing I have no idea what the instructor is telling me to do. Its all "Left click on vertices and now go to Mesh and pull down extruder." And everyone else in the class is like "Okay. Fine. Finished." And I am "Where are vertices? What extruder? Where?"There is nothing for you to click on in this sentence. I am just looking for sympathy. This is a picture of the program.mayaTank By the way , no one is making me take this class. It was my idea.
