I love The Hairpin. If you don’t know it, please get to know it. Especially if you are a girl or woman. Or a good man.

Although I did do this latest Oscarina while on Claritin, having finally caved and gone for the allergy meds, what with the cherry blossoms poisoning the air!

By the way, for anyone subscribing to Oscarina previously, your link may be obsolete since I accidentally deleted the entire website and had to start over again from scratch. So, please update! I’ll keep posting here until everyone’s on board, then you can go to  oscarinaland.com for your Oscarina.

I ordered some mypenguin “naked” editions of The Great Gatsby from a Waterstones bookstore in London (because Penguin wouldn’t sell directly to the USA for some reason), but they took so long to arrive that I ended up going to Barnes & Noble to buy whatever edition I could find of The Great Gatsby, and drew on them. I was so pleased with one of the drawings that I had it turned into a rubber stamp to use on the mypenguin books whenever they finally arrived (long, sad story! they don’t use tape on their packaging in the UK, it seems! they are all so polite over there that they just ask the books to stay inside the box, and off they go!).

Here is one of the three books that DID arrive (the fourth is still AWOL —hello, Waterstones!), with my rubber stamp on it:
