On the radio

Madonna was on Fresh Air this morning (it's broadcast at 9 a.m. on one of the local stations). I missed the intro and wondered who Terry Gross was talking to about sex and performing. The person sounded so arch and middle-aged; I guess at first it was Eve Ensler. When I heard it was Madonna, I was amazed; but then I realized that after a few years of living in the U.K. she has begun to affect a "cultured" accent that makes her sound a bit like Katherine Hepburn by way of Ohio. Just another facade.

Today on Talk of the Nation, they're doing a feature on National Novel Writing Month, in which I am pleased to participate. Though I haven't written for two days and I'm still only at 17,500 words.
