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.

Things That Bother Me

Things that bother me:

  1. When you accidentally pour too much salad dressing on an otherwise perfect salad.
(This is an ongoing list.)

Things That Bother Me

Things that bother me:

  1. Cords, cables and the like. Everything has one. And they always get all tangled up.
  2. The interactive voice response lady who seems to have lent her voice every business and help line I call, including (but not limited to) the cable company, the electric company, the bank, and every major airline. No matter how clearly I speak she cannot understand me. Also, if she asks, "Are you still there?" one more time, I'm going to hunt her down and hurt her. I hate you, IVR lady. I really, really hate you.
(This is an ongoing list.)

Things That Bother Me

Things that bother me:

  1. When people use the word "yummy" to describe things other than food.
    2. "Ooh, this hat is so soft and yummy!"
    It's not yummy unless you can shove it in your mouth and eat it.
(This is an ongoing list.)

Things That Bother Me

Things that bother me:

  1. People who hold their cell phone in front of their mouths and talk into it like it's a walkie talkie.
  2. When people do #13 while pacing.
(This is an ongoing list.)

Things That Bother Me

Things that bother me:

  1. Plastic forks
  2. Howie Mandel
  3. The fact that Anna Nicole is still staring at me from TrimSpa bottles at the corner deli
  4. The word "quasi"
  5. People who use the word "quasi"
  6. Diet Coke Plus, because getting your vitamins from an artificially-sweetened soda pop is queer
  7. That I find myself worrying about the people in the Cingular commercials, like Josh and Abby and that one lady who, after getting flowers from her boyfriend at work, calls her friend and is like, "Everyone says this means he cheated on me," and her friend is like, "No, he didn't cheat on you, don't be silly," but the phone drops out so the first lady doesn't hear this and freaks. The miscommunication leaves me feeling uneasy, and I wanna call these people on a land line and clear everything up.
  8. ↑Run-on non-sentences, like the first half of #7
  9. Dust bunnies
  10. That the definition of "dust bunny" contains the phrase "skin particles"
  11. That Beverly never comes when I call her, yet always appears when the fridge opens
  12. When the men I date send me text messages. I'm sorry, are we fifteen? I'm an adult, you're an adult, pick up the phone.
(This is an ongoing list.)
