There are a few things I'm sure about and a lot I'm not.

I am going to go straight to hell
for the way Anne Lamott makes me want to throw up. Except I'm Jewish, and we don't believe in hell.
Edited to add: Now this, this makes me feel better. Still probably going to hell.

Really? How come? I feel like we've talked about this before....but refresh my memory. I love her! Except, I could do without a few of the middle paragraphs in that essay.
I like Lamott fine--but I can see how her schtick can grate. I saw her do it in person last year and in person it works really well, I think--she can modulate her tone a bit. Now, the second one, that made me laugh.
A hopelessly feminist intellectual blogs about kids, books, celebrities, knitting, politics, pop culture, the Red Sox, and whatever else strikes her fancy.
