Do you blog about books at all? NetGalley is literally the only way I can grab brand new books.

It's really too bad, because memoir could be just as experimental and engaging as any other form of creative nonfiction, but it rarely is.

I would love if there were more books. There are lots of great book blogs and review sites out there, but those tend to lack a lively community wherein one can discuss them.

I didn't even know this was a thing, so I guess now I have a new project.

Ha! Maybe I should count my blessings? It stands out because it's a small room of 3 people; myself and other gal are pretty quiet. Ah well. There are always headphones.

I have a coworker who does nothing but whine from the moment the work day starts until it ends, and it's made me really mindful of how much I complain, myself, because it's really annoying.

I really love The Apartment. I don't have anything else to add, really, but I don't know many people who have seen it and it's one of my favorite movies.

I was home sick from work Thursday and Friday, which meant that I spent the days reading poetry (Richard Wright's Haiku is fucking amazing) and getting really far into my first time watching Mad Men.

I said this above, but I find it strange that even though she doesn't use social media she wouldn't bother to just research it for herself? Anyone can Google.

Yeah, to me, Cho's biggest problem here is that she agreed to something being private, then went public with it. Her feelings about the exchange are valid and her discomfort with being a mouthpiece for all Asians is valid, even if she was one of the people speaking up about it (and/or about whitewashing in general).

My coworker playing a classic rock radio station every day has made me loathe classic rock radio.

I have 22 books to read before I reach my goal of 100 for 2016. That means I need to finally finish The Revenant, The Gunslinger, and Little Heaven, as well as devour some poetry and trashy 90s horror YA. It can be done! It must be done!

I never realized how much the first relied upon the charms of 90s Will Smith, but it totally did (and I genuinely love the first one). Liam Hemsworth has -75% of the charisma to pull it off.

Lemonade is still my #1, no ragrets.

I wasn't expecting for it to hit me as hard as it did. My friends and I gathered shortly afterward for a Bowie listening party and the whole thing was sad and funereal; a month later there was a Bowie tribute night (on my birthday!) and it was fun but damn if I didn't start to cry as soon as I heard the opening to…

I was thinking Regina Spektor but upon reading this comment I think it might be a hybrid bastard lovechild of both.

Ahh, I see what you're saying. Well, I kind of wish they would. I hate this schmaltzy holiday.

It might have been the Anna Wintour hair she had for most of 2016, but I agree.

Two Victorians who had varying levels of outrage about Victorian labor practices and poverty, etc.

Or the Elizabeth Barrett Browning, or the Dickens?
