I (finally) bought Eats, Shoots and Leaves today. Read the intro and I LOVE IT. The author goes on a huge rant about people pluralizing by apostrophe and I was right there with her. What took me so long to finally buy this book?!

I also bought Between Men because I was fascinated by Epistemology of the Closet. Sedgwick isn't the world's clearest writer, but after Butler her prose is like crystal, and she's funny. One of these days I'm gonna talk about Gender Trouble and where I think Butler went wrong, but to make a long story short, Epistemology was great, there was much reference to Between Men, I decided Sedgwick was worth it, and now I have it. I read the intro of that and now I'm kindasorta reading three books at once, the two new ones and Confessions of a Wicked (Ugly? can't remember the title) Stepsister. Yipes.

I was also useful today, installing a doorknob all by myself. My parents were impressed, though I'm not sure why. Okay, actually I am sure why, because I'm not very good at these things, but still. I also hooked up a showerhead and a toilet seat, because I am just that good.

There is a very small wasp's nest between the door and screen of the back door of the new house. It really kinda makes me want to cry. It also makes me angry, so I spend a lot of time tapping on the glass whenever a wasp gets near.

I cannot believe it is June already., Where has the time gone?
