What?

I'm reading 2312 right now, which is fine but the author does some annoying things, like refuse to use s/he for some characters, which I find totally distracting. I'm only like 70 pages into it, so I'll see. I started reading The Secret Agent but I got sidetracked by other books, so maybe I'll take a break from the…

…Yes. In college…..

Okay, makes more sense. The funny thing about Zwan, I think, is that my musician brother hates the album for being musically lazy.

Reading out loud takes a lot longer, because when we read we're not actually reading every word and are instead mostly recognizing words and moving on.

I like to think he just checked the audiobook out from the public library.

Do you mean Smashing Pumpkins? Only Jimmy was ever in Zwan. And I thought the Pumpkins broke up because Corgan was kind of a controlling jerk.

I used it to escalate a friendly war of terrible youtube videos over gchat! Time well spent.

There you go, making me want poutine. May end up there after all, even if it is a Thursday.
And by there, I mean Haymaker. Not Rainey.

Which has parking hassles of its own. And the rudest staff known to man. Place is dead to me. Maybe it will get better after the expansion?

Just look at this dress! You got poor mental state all over it! Have you been playing in Mommy's room again?

Believe me, I have no love for xojane, but there's a difference between bath salts that we use for a good soak and bath salts that they sell on the internet that people use to get high. She snorted the former. Which is even stupider, but that's just poor decision making, not illegal. Like when I was on a band trip in…

Rainey Street is already almost impossible to be on, without any special SXSW shenanigans. It's almost as if it were a bad idea to make a residential block a new bar district!

Raping?

Harold and Maude style relationships?

Well, sometimes you want to watch tv, and sometimes you want a movie. The nice thing about short stories is you can put it down and leave it for months.

I am with you 100% on the Jane Eyre hate. I despise that book. Possibly not as much as I despise Wuthering Heights, but it's up there. I hated Austen for a long time, but I've turned a corner with her and now find her simply delightful.
