 My attention span is getting shorter than my length of time between pees, so I’m going to distract you with the fantastic-ness that people send me. First, the cute. Patty Punker gave me this. I was going to originally wait and snap a pic with Paul in it, but based on those latest photos of THE OVERLORD, [...] “Sometimes you break your heart in the right way…” Remember that book I told you about four hundred years ago? Well I finally finished it. And that quote is really the best way to describe how I feel about it. Shantaram is a novel, but it is also eerily close to the life experiences of the author, Gregory [...] I’m reading an epically long, thick novel entitled Shantaram at the moment. I’m on page 629…out of 936. As I might have already mentioned, it’s not short. Like at all. And it’s sometimes very difficult to read because all the characters have unfamiliar foreign names that seem to consist entirely of Ks and Hs. I’ll [...] When you go to a museum and look at a Picasso, do you think, “If I just took a few art classes, I could totally do that?” I’m pretty confident that a couple of voice lessons aren’t the only thing separating me and Patti Lupone. And as much as Rocco likes to play with balls, it’d [...] You ever have someone try and turn you on to something that just doesn’t quite fit you, but you can still tell it’s really, really awesome? Even if you don’t enjoy it as much as you probably ought to? You know, like The Dave Matthews Band, or imported stinky cheeses, or anal sex. Yeah. So I just [...] So seeing as how I’m hoping to someday trick someone into publishing that book of mine, I’ve been reading a lot of memoirs, cancer ones in particular. That’s how I ended up reading The Middle Place. And that’s when I decided all hope was lost for me and Lymphomania because HOLY FUCK THAT LADY CAN WRITE. He [...] It’s snowing again. *cracks knuckles* It’s making me twitchy. But the upside to ass tons of snow every three days, is catching up on some of my reading. And not just Penthouse Letters. I finally finished Carrie Pilby, written by another Hobokenite, Caren Lissner. It’s damn witty. You know I’m a sucker for witty, Interwebz. …having a car [...] A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine handed me a copy of a book and said something like, “This made me think of you and your book.” Having now read the memoir, what I think he meant to say was, “This is what you might sound like if you were Mennonite, could construct coherent [...] While on our wild, arctic adventure, Rocco and I listened to an absolutely beautiful audio book – Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. This audio book was particularly wonderful because the actor on the recording, Lenny Henry, did a magnificent job of mastering the many dialects of Gaiman’s characters. I know it makes me beyond uncool [...] It started over lunch with a friend. Melissa is smart as a whip, well spoken, and deliberate with every thought and action. But for some reason, she is still willing to occasionally meet with my grammatically challenged ass to discuss writing and gab about life in general. Melissa: “I have to tell you about this book I’m reading.” Me: [...] |
