Wrong Number
Sep. 16th, 2008 10:42 amYeah, so I think that trip to London is off the table. My mom thought it was a terrible idea, and while I liked the thought of being impulsive!Trin, practical!Trin is much stronger and gave her other side a brutal smackdown. There may have been tears.
Thanks, though, to everyone who said they wanted to hang out—hopefully we still can someday soon! Just, not next month. :(
Instead I applied for Camp Obama, the program where you're given a weekend's training and then sent to a battleground state to campaign. I really, really want to be selected, but I haven't heard anything yet and now I can't think about anything else. Come on, man! Barack me!
In the meantime, here's Poor Attempt at Distraction Booklog:
( 158. Breakfast With the Ones You Love — Eliot Fintushel ) I respected it, but I didn’t love it. Still, worth trying if you want to sample something out of the ordinary.
( 159. The Road to Civil War — Brian Michael Bendis, et. al. ) Shiny comics: even when you are stupid and confusing, I will always take you back…
( 160. Books — Larry McMurtry ) hardcore bibliophiles like myself are likely to be the only ones captivated by this scattered narrative.
( 161. All-American Girl — Meg Cabot ) I’d still like to read a political pick-me-up book. Other than the wonderful Ellen Emerson White, anybody know of any?
( 162. My Most Excellent Year — Steve Kluger ) It knocked me into a diabetic coma.
( 163. Bad Cat — Jim Edgar ) it’s not so much a case of DO NOT WANT as DO NOT NEED.
( 164. The Monster of Florence — Douglas Preston & Mario Spezi ) even when I was fascinated, I wanted to scream. That’s life, I guess. May I have a novel with a happy ending now, please?
( 165. Superman: Secret Identity — Kurt Busiek ) this is a quiet, lovely reflection on identity, secret and otherwise.
( 166. Hotel World — Ali Smith ) with so much going in Hotel World, one kind of has to wonder if there’s really all that much there there.
( 167. The Adoration of Jenna Fox — Mary E. Pearson ) [Insert painfully obvious joke about not adoring Jenna Fox at all here]
Total Books: 167
Man, I feel like I’ve been hating almost everything lately. Am I choosing books badly? Am I just cranky? What is going on?
