If I'm betting against you, I think I'd rather lose.

The dates are when the e-mail discussion starts. Feel free to e-mail me if you read the books. Or if you're local, feel free to bring it up at a party or a bar because chances are, I'd be dying to talk about it live and in-person.


Other books for the near future include:
In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
Leash - Jamie DeLynn
The Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa
....and whatever else damn near strikes my fancy without worrying if it's on my contract or not.

Waking up with a headache does not set a pleasant tone for the day. Not sure if it's blood sugar or allergy or dehydration related -- I'm too tired to tell. So I did something for all three possibilities and now I must bundle up and head to the bank to deposit money and avoid any overdraft fees. I swear, this money is cursed, as I've run into technical difficulties TWICE in two months, in unrelated manners, when trying to deposit. I think dommeyourass is using blood money.

In Other News^TM, how did I forget about Neil Diamond's You Make It Feel Like Christmas?

In Other News Part 2^TM, I love limenal. A lot.

I love limenal too. Are we going to try to get together for some TP over the holidays? Lemme know. (She commented to one of my comments mentioning it, but I can't find it to respond. Heh.)

[kneidlach.livejournal.com]

I think she's pretty great, too

[limenal.livejournal.com]

I LOVE ALL THREE OF YOU!!! Why do I ever spend time away from LiveJournal? It's the happiest place on Earth.

[ex-fish.livejournal.com]

Uhm, I love you, too. I wish I wasn't so much slower than the rest. I'm a sloooowww lover...

[raybear.livejournal.com]

yes!! she's coming into town next thursday....i was also thinking of maybe a karaoke night sometime next week. or maybe coming down to lincoln park one day and meeting up with you after work for drink/dinner?

[vfc.livejournal.com]

Any/all of those sound great. I have Monday and Tuesday off, so if you're free one of those days, that could work too.

[limenal.livejournal.com]

Monday (1/2?) or during the day on Tuesday is probably best for me if that works for you guys. Does it? I'm excited! I wish thebrownhornet were going to be there though.

[limenal.livejournal.com]

I'm dumb. I thought you guys were talking about TP. But now I see you're talking about karaoke night. Reading comprehension score = low. Anyway my suggestion for TP stands.

[vfc.livejournal.com]

I don't have Tuesday 1/3 off, I was referring to having Tuesday 12/27 off. But Mon. 1/2 would probably work for me.

karaoke monday night?? i've been jonesing for awhile. i'm flexible about location.

[vfc.livejournal.com]

This Monday (12/26)? 'Cause that would rule.

[raybear.livejournal.com]

In COld Blood is excellent, especially if you've seen the movie Capote.
