the mystery man who is the most infocus figure and seems to be looking at the camera is my pal, sang. YAY SANG!!

I went a little nuts in the bookstore during my lunch hour. I went in looking for this

 

i've heard his reports on this american life . i wasn't aware he'd written a book. wow!

(quite a haul, there. )

**i checked "botany of desire" out of the library 1.5 weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to read more than the introduction!

bumping this for cryptique...because i don't know how to link to an old page...

 

Plot- the sisterhood meets up with the bros. karamazov(sp?) in some sort of crazy timewarp thing, and the brothers are mystified by the crazy powers of the pants!

and the sisterhood is confounded by the tendency of each russian brother to have 47 names.

they go out for pizza, which they all enjoy, but the brothers all are melancholy, seeing the pizza as a fleeting pleasure. one of them tries to throw a kitten into the river as a gesture of the futility of cuteness, but is stopped by Amber/Melinda/Meagan who convinces him to adopt the kitten. He names it Justine, after the first character to be killed by the monster in M. Shelley's Frankenstein.

CHALLENGE: sisterhood of the travelling pants/Dostoyevsky mash up!

GO!

next time i'm at the library! thanks for the tip

our Eraserhead-baby-like relationship with the rest of the world.

well put. (you can work the eraserhead baby into almost any context. )

"So I went to visit an organic potato farmer and this farm was a completely different place. His soil was completely different. It smelt like life."

 

m, do you recommend this?

i loved the list of words that would be good names for children if they weren't inappropriate.

--Calorie

--Dyslexia

--Bench

and the "Circumstances Under Which i Would Have Sex With My Fellow Jurors". spectacular.

top shelf comedy.

highlights include: "My Beard, Reviewed" and the unused DVD commentary for Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring by Noam Chomsky.

the last i heard will farrell was going to play the role.

"my valve!"

 

a certified hoot!

why hasn't this been made into a movie?

i've heard rumblings that attempts at adapting this have been made in the past. however, i know that stephen fry has been working on an adaptation of it in recent years. (wooot!)

phillip seymour hoffman! nice idea!

re-reading to help wean myself off my late"jeeves and wooster" binge. witty, hysterical and touching. but not in a bad-touch way.

whenever you perform maintenance, it makes me love you more.

ooh! i find this exciting. cant' wait to discover more cool stuff!

kidsmoke, there were pudding fingerprints EVERYWHERE. sorry, but there's no getting around this one.

i love watching this place evolve.

i'm thrown a little at first, but then i take a pull from my coffee, look again, and everything comes into focus.

PURGE, YO!
