Oprah may be the bane of my existence

My mother, like most women her age, loves Oprah. Oprah can probably do no wrong in my mother's eyes. Back when Oprah had her book club my mother bought me all of the selections because she knows I like to read. I just don't like to read Oprah selections.

My mother is coming to spend a week with us in April and I have a couple of things planned for her visit. Yesterday she was watching Oprah and heard all about The Color Purple on Broadway. Now my mother insists that she absolutely must go see this show; because Oprah told her too (as an incentive theres also the bit about Fantasia Barrino starring as Celie, my mother's favorite character from the movie).

DAMN! I totally had planned on going to see Spring Awakening with friends, but apparently I am taking my mother to see The Color Purple. Because Oprah said we had to.

What I am reading: I can't put down the Amy Sedaris book. It's slightly tacky and very funny.
What I am listening to: Bjork - Medulla
