1 Age

  • 1. One already feels like an anachronism writing novels in the age of what-ever-this-is-the-age-of but touring to promote them feels doubly anachronistic.

  • 2. There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.
  • 3. I do think I feel it but you don't think you are cause at a certain time you are no age but you don't think you are anything. You feel the life you have lived. I feel that. It's been a long fifty years.

2 Amazing

  • 2. A few years back when my style was 'punk grandma ' I picked up an amazing pair of sandals – orthopaedic ones with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now because these days my look is more '1980s substitute teacher gone wild.'
  • 3. I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.

4 Anniversary

5 Architecture

  • 1. I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
  • 2. The bungalow had more to do with how Americans live today than any other building that has gone remotely by the name of architecture in our history.
  • 3. In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
