Man of the Year?

I was in the bookstore at lunch, and saw this: I can't remember the last Susan Isaacs book I read, but there was a point, up until fairly recently, when I had read them all. For a long time her books were my favorite guilty pleasure. I don't know how many I've missed in the years since I stopped picking them up the minute they hit the shelves, but I think it might be past time for a little mental vacation with a few of these. Kate, I haven't finished Assassination Vacation yet, but it's... pretty good. Definitely lightweight. She's got some interesting insights, and a few laugh-ou

Getting closer?

We were all avoiding you.

I've PM'd Jesse about doing the tree. When the tracker is functional again, I guarantee this will show up there.

Oh yay! Thanks! And thanks to you, too! Yeah, mine was in one of the e-mails, which of course I forwarded to everyone in my address book (well, everyone except those people who would have gotten that e-mail anyway ). There are so many cool pictures, though. I'd forgotten how much I like this one, too:

http://wilcoworld.net/photos/contest.php That's the link to the current pictures, but I don't know if there's any way to see the last round of winners. So the BBQ and ferris wheel pics are currently unavailable.

I liked that one, too. It didn't look posed, just two friends having fun... and one of them is wearing a Wilco shirt! I've got a few more that I might send in, but I don't know if they're doing another round or not.

I love the BBQ pic! I took the yellow flowers one.

I got an e-mail on 7/25 asking for my mailing address, and letting me know that it would take about 4 weeks. Since we're only 3 weeks in now, I'm not too worried yet. I think kidsmoke's probably right though, it'll arrive eventually, so I'm not going to knock myself out looking for it. Luka, which picture did you take? Oh, and OTM, yeah, you deserve to win it with that one!

I like my coffee like I like my men: weak and bitter.

It's better than nothing; there are some days when I just NEED a mocha. It's like mocha methadone.

????? That's good stuff.

May all your birthday wishes come true!!!

Thank god that damn banana promotion is over. The "reduced-fat" chocolate chip banana coffee cake was killing me.

Infectious-disease non-fiction is one of my favorite things, but this one just didn't do it for me for some reason. Ooh, this one's on my list too! (the book book though, not the audio book) Let me know if it's any good. And then, send me your pop punk mix. Just finished: It's now pretty much official, I don't really enjoy reading Dave Eggers' books. I like the idea of Dave Eggers' books, and I love what he's done with McSweeney's, 826 Valencia, etc., but I just really really don't like the books. I've tried. Seriously. Now reading: For the book club. Also, it's a

Sarah, pretty! I've got a great butterfly picture that I took just about a year ago, which I'm going to have to retrieve from my laptop one of these days to post as a companion to yours. I love those giant freaky bugs (well, in theory anyway, not so much up close and personal), especially the flying ones! Missing links.

Ooh, I saw the preview for that the other night. It looks so much better than I would have thought from that one-line description. Also looking forward to Little Miss Sunshine.

Will you have any new material? you're shitting me. pig in the city? I enjoyed all of the above posts.
