And you're a grown up and still unsure.

When did Martha Stewart become Candace Bergen? I mean, not in personality or career, just looks and style and a little how she's moving, based solely on the opening sequence of her new show which I can't really articulate how much ridiculous love I had for it.. My normal post-breakfast routine includes e-mailing while watching Ellen, but they've moved it to the afternoon and I'm trying to not fall back into my addiction with The View. Luckily I've gotten over my compulsion to do things which unnecessarily raise my blood pressure.

Whoa, this show is awkward.

I have a phone meeting with my mentor this afternoon and I'm nervous. Not only about what feedback she'll give, but for some reason I'm afraid I'll accidently propose marriage. I've just been in a weird mood lately and it could make things awkward. I'm trying to seal that self-censorship door shut until at least after I graduate.

I'm almost done reading A.M. Homes The Safety of Objects which is just adding to my short story problem, as in, I don't really get short story collections, but it is still easier to read than Joyce, which I'm currently putting off and possibly avoiding. Also, I have a confession. I just think David Sedaris is okay. I feel like everyone absolutely loves him, and I certainly don't dislike him at all. I just think he's....okay. Sometimes pretty good.

Does anyone still have Sunday's New York Times and is located in Chicago and would give it to me?

david sedaris is genius reading his work out loud. i have him on my ipod as my guaranteed way to cheer up if i'm crabby. i don't appreciate short stories (even though i write them). i'd rather read a novel.

i actually disagree. i LOVED LOVED LOVED david sedaris (btw...prefacing everything with LOVE LOVE LOVE is my new favorite thing, it'll pass...) when i used to read him. but then ray and i on our recent road trip listened to several stories on tape and i thought, "hmmm..i don't remember finding him so bland before." although i must say that when he had moments of brilliance, they were brilliant. perhaps because it was sandwiched in between lots of neurosis and good, but not fantastic writing, that i found them brilliant. who knows.
