I wish I could take some sort of class on it, but I have no talent for Adobe Photoshop and am only rarely creative. Buh. It would still be nice to know the art.<br /><br />On the other hand, I want to buy books like crazy. My mom got me Strunk and White's <i>The Elements of Style</i>, illustrated by Maira Kalman. This makes me cry in glee. If only the hardcover edition were available! Kalman is one of my heroes and since I was little, I've read <i>Max in Hollywood, Baby</i> and <i>Ooh-la-la, Max in Love</i>. I've always loved the ironic similarity between the name Max and the name Max (of my brother).<br /><br />Staying up late makes me feel full of love when I'm home. I want to share this happiness but everyone's asleep!
