I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it

We got out early today because of snow--but I got home at pretty much the same time. It took me an hour, when usually it takes 10 minutes! I have to say, that for a wealthy-in-finger-quotes area, Westchester certainly becomes useless in the snow. Also, I am very disappointed in March (March sucks!), and later March and I are going to have a heart-

I was looking for a job, then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now

I love your entry title! The one I'm using illustrates my current worktime feeling.

Oh, and Becky, did you get up to the part where it says that "Common People" was partially written about Blur?

No!!! That is crazy!!! I am a slow reader, so I haven't gotten all that far in the book yet. Plus, I have an issue of Spin and two issues of Jane to catch up on. The Lawyer said to me the other day that he had read "20 books about science in the past year." I haven't even read 20 books total in the past year, and one of them was Simon Cowell's autobiography.

Snow sucks. Tell March to get her shit together when you have your heart to heart. She better as hell go out like a lamb.

I regret March weather!

I definitely think I finished fewer than 10 books all year. But that's partially because I hated one book that I started but forced myself to finish it (damn you Dave Eggers!). I'm doing better this year. I already finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but it's really short and I read it once already.

I think your comment subject is better than "Blow, blow me out, I am so sad I don't know why."

There are some pictures in the book. I must say, Damon looks really good in all of them :x. I don't see what the big deal about Justine is, though.

The KMI went to 11 last night.

Yeah, I hate feeling that I should finish books that I hate. I should really read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy since I heard it's really good.

What does "Blow, blow me out" even mean?

Damon is one of the most beautiful men ever to walk the face of this Earth. It kinda seems like part of his attraction to Justine was that she seemed rich and sophisticated (and Jewish!). He wanted to live like posh people, I guess.

Justine just doesn't photograph well, I think. I always thought Donna Matthews was the hot one in the band (and she probably was), but when I saw them live (post-Donna), Justine looked super-hot-- as hot as I would've imagined from only hearing her and not seeing any photos. Sara will back me up on this.

You've said that before but I just can't believe that since I haven't seen one photo where her hotness looks remotely possible. Donna Matthews on the other hand--raer!
