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.

Please Meet JayVideo

I meant to post this weeks ago.

I've been watching this guy's videos on YouTube for a while now and he's so funny. His name is Jay Grandin or "JayVideo" and he's from Canada. My favorite of his videos have to do with a giant inflatable penis. Let me explain why.

A few years ago, my friend Tracy had to bring a grab-bag gift to a Christmas party at WORK. While out shopping, she ran across something called "Captain Pecker the Party Recker: The Amazing Inflatable 6-foot Party Penis You Can Punch"...


...and decided it was the perfect gift.

It didn't go over too well. Most people bought candles and gift certificates, and Tracy bought "Captain Pecker the Party Recker: The Amazing Inflatable 6-foot Party Penis You Can Punch." (You have to say the whole name every time you talk about it.) I laugh every time I think about this.

Anyway, "Captain Pecker the Party Recker: The Amazing Inflatable 6-foot Party Penis You Can Punch" is the star of three of Jay's videos. Here they are; you should watch them in this order. (The last one is my favorite.)


A Day With a Giant Penis




Date With a Giant Penis



You Can't Say Penis on MySpace


The reason I'm telling you about Jay is because he and his friend (girlfriend?) are in the middle of an exciting European Adventure and are looking for places to stay! I don't know them personally, but they seem like pretty harmless people, so if you can put them up for a couple days, let Jay know. They are on their way to Germany and Switzerland right now. For more information on Jay's European Adventure and to contact Jay, visit:

(BTW, is it just me, or does the girl on the box look like Chelsea Handler?)
