What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

My Starbucks Office III: Confronting Lenny... For Real This Time

Okay, so I'm trying to post this via e-mail using my Blackberry so I hope it works...

I'm at Starbucks right now sitting smack dab next to Lenny. Not only that, but I'm facing him - we're sitting on opposite sides of two tables that are right next to each other. Taking everyone's advice, I held my head high and said hello in a very friendly way when I walked in and saw him here, and he gave me the cold shoulder. Either he's embarrased or angry that I didn't call him back, or I just thought about this: what if he read this blog and knows that I've told everyone about him? It's not totally implausible. (I think that's the first time I've ever used that word. Did I use it correctly?)

You know, I miss the early days of savekaryn.com, when my website was anonymous and I could write and say whatever I wanted about anyone and not worry about them reading it. Now I have to worry about hurting people's feelings and stuff, and I can't write about any of my dates for fear of the guys I'm dating reading it. Hmmm... maybe another another anonymous blog is in order.

Okay, I hate typing on my Blackberry, so more on this later.

Sent from my BlackBerry wireless handheld.
