“Next time: The beautiful melancholy of Breakfast At Tiffany’s.”

I can’t even.

That’s one of my Desert Island books. I push everyone I know to read it.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever happened to pop over to Jez just in time for SNS!

Have you read the great memoirs she’s already written?

In his book Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace, D. T. Max mentioned in passing that Wallace “threw a coffee table” and “tried to push Karr from a moving car,” which Karr said is “about 2% of what happened.”

oh my god no. That’s worse than the minivan I saw with “<3 4CHANS” on the plate.

I’m a white dude, recently diagnosed as Bipolar, which I knew for decades but wanted a pro to confirm as I may try at disabilty since I cant keep a job due to this illness, I’ve lived in my car, been homeless, am on medicaid and food stamps, and seeing a Doctor about the Bipolar stuff, also I am unmedicated.

New manicure!

Amen. Cannot be shouted out enough.

I just started this! It’s no fun but my sleep symptoms were helped by drinkable magnesium. Ginsing from Asia is great for hormone stabilization too. Mostly, I’ve become used to waking up at 3 and reading for an hour. All of my Peri aged friends have this same annoying sleep cycle.
