Hello!
Hmm... how to start? Well, it's me, Marie (otherwise known as Amber's mom, Liz's aunt, or Gil's girl). I assume this thing is meant for stream of consciousness, so here goes.
I've just finished reading Diary by Pahlaniak. It was a trippy little novel that I'd recommend to anyone with a sick enough sense of humor to appreciate the finer points of Fight Club. That book came right after Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Now I'll have to see the movie. I wasn't all that impressed, except for the part where he describes the local character who ataches little strings to flies so he can take them for walks and such. I'm on to Confederacy of Dunces, which reminds me remarkably of Don Quixote (which I still haven't finished since August). Although they're both very funny, I guess it's hard to summon that internal chuckle when you're just quiety reading in bed.
I was supposed to maybe start a trial today. I took two days off, and the other woman handling the courtroom called me yesterday to let me know if it was happening or not. She called & said it wasn't around 2 yesterday. Then today at 11, while I was wandering about, she told me I might have to come in and pick a jury. Luckily she called back not too much later & let me know it wasn't happening.
lalala it's snowing outside.
