Today is my first day of school. Of course I am nervous and excited. What should I wear? What should I bring to class? Well, this bit from Galleycat reinforces one of my creeping suspicions: people believe that MFA women and party girls are two entirely different creatures. But... but... Maybe I should bring a bottle of champagne to tonight's writing workshop.
Or maybe this: with homemade weeniecello (hot-dog-infused vodka), you can make a mean Weenie-Tini (via MeFi).
In less loopy news, Tod Goldberg is up for the Southern California Booksellers Award for fiction, in fine company (Aimee Bender, Susan Straight, Carolyn See, Jennifer Kaufman & Karen Mack).
The Happy Booker hosts an interview by The May Queen editor Nicki Richeseon with Lily Burana, the author of Try -- she calls it an alt.western rodeo novel.
Nostalgic for the days when Pluto was a planet? This bumper sticker is for you.
Good luck!

I find it hard to believe that anybody who has met Pinky will come to the conclusion that MFA woman does NOT equal party girl!
