I really have not much to talk about today, things are moving along fine, work is busy, life is busy, but all things are good.
John suggested I talk about his Kinoki foot/toxin pads, but …. I just can’t. Trust me…they’re icky! So what I’m going to talk about today are books, because lately, the only thing I want to do in the world is read. It doesn’t matter what I’m reading, the New Yorker, the web, actual books, but I just want to read all day until my eyes blow out. READ.
So…here are the books on my “to be read as soon as I can” list. I don’t know why you might care, except for that you might either A. Get a recommendation for yourself or B. Debunk one of my recommendations.
The Dice Man – George Cockroft
The story of a man who makes every life decision by rolling the dice. Now that is just awesome
The Sorrows of the Young – Johann Wolfgang Goethe
My brother recommended this book to me and I read all his recommendations because I usually love them, like “Angle of Repose” and “On a Winters Night a Traveler”
Blindness – Jose Saramago
The movie sounds awesome, I must read it before the movie comes out, that is Hixx law.
Pattern Language – Christopher Alexander
Another brother recommendation for architecture stuff. Neat.
Slaughterhouse
Fast Food Nation & Omnivore’s Dilemma – All of these for my meat experiments.
Blackwater - Joyce Carol Oates
A fictionalized story about the whole Chappaquiddick scenario, sounds awesome.
The Garden of Last Days – Andre Dubus
Stephen King went hog wild about this book in Entertainment Weekly, what Stephen King tells me to do, I do.
House of Sand & Fog - Andre Dubus
Saw the movie, wanted to read it anyway, good timing
The Story or Edgar Sawtelle – David Wrobleski
Boy who cannot communicate with other humans and lives on a dog breeder farm. I bet its way better than my “other” dog book. Boo.
That’s it. For now. There’s so many more, so many, I still have two more Harry Potters and all the other Pulitzers.
Will someone please just let me sit and read all day? Please?

i'm sorry, but i want to know about those foot pads. i saw them on a late night commercial, and i thought. man, i think i might want to try those. but they're on a late night commercial. they will be a scam.
but i still wanted to. it seemed so satisifying. like ripping a biore off your nose and staring at all those little dirt trees. and then being horrified and disgusted. and then being amazed. rinse, lather, repeat.
and then joel mchale (so dreamy!) made fun of them on 'the soup' and i snapped out of it and realized how stupid i was to consider them for a moment. now i have hope again. do they work?
I'm with smussy. Tell us about those foot pads. I have been curious about those things. By the way, you have the mama's permission to sit and read all day.
Okay ladies! Done and done, tomorrow I will go into great detail, but don't say I didn't warn you.
And thank you mental p. that's all I wanted!
