Oh oh. We've got eyes like Oklahoma.

Bookmooch came through! I got my CW professor Karen Joy Fowler's book in the mail.

It's an uncorrected proof, and a different title! I already like the first 50 pages, and it is difficult to read it without picturing her. But that's okay, I think.

I love bookmooch! Everyone should join Bookmooch.com. You sign up your books and then you can request other books! You should do it. Really. And it's free!

Wooooo I'm going to go reeeead.

I'm at my worst when it's from my lips.

Today's new thing: Out of country package sending. One parrot to Paris, One gorilla to New Zealand. I was in the post office line for an hour and a half, thinking to myself: this is probably the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone ever.

But that's not true, of course. There are Simple Life with Paris Hilton marathons, stacks of cheese in our refrigerator that go uneaten, favorite actors losing their jobs. And all that poverty and war too.

So, in context, the post office wasn't that bad. But out of context - I could've died.
