Giles ,'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jessica, was that where this column was?
There are some NPR and NYT people I love to hear or read. I thought the I Believe piece, for example, from today was though provoking. And frankly David Sedaris is way more interesting than Pinkwater to me.
But yes, the confessional writing, especially wherein it takes a jab at confessional writing? played out.
I in particular loathe the "Here is my smug little upper-middle-class life, but it's a universal experience! Really! I have just experienced something PROFOUND about love/death/parenthood! Really UNIQUE AND PROFOUND! Where's my Cosmo?" genre.
Plus avocados, that I think are making the inside of my mouth itchy. Darn you, avocados!!This is obviously the day when Benedryl is, like 42, The Answer.
Jesse, sounds like a food allergy. Well, it sounds like *my* food allergy specifically. But I love them so I always carry Benedryl.
I am hella allergic to flea bites and have really strange dreams too. Shame I can't get to b.org during the day, it was totally my kind of day to add to the discussion. Oh! Mythology too. Natter was obviously way better than work today.
The nanny's uppity tone on her blog reminds me so much of the most insufferable writer I have ever worked with that I am predisposed to hate on her.
I liked two Modern Loves: one by a guy who remarried after his wife died of cancer, and one about attending a reception for a wedding that never happened, because the bride, she ran away.
Pinkwater gets on my nerves. Love Sedaris, though he hasn't done an NPR commentary in a while.

My brother has a theory that you are either a Keillor person or a Glass person, and that it is not possible to like both.

My favorite modern love is about the cutest girl who discovered bling because her Saget was so thoughtful.

JZ and I like them both. And Glass likes Keillor. And...Terry Gross likes Glass. Thus, something! (I aver.)

hee. I like both! I listen to both.
My favorite is about the smartest and most charming boy in the world and how he got married to the smartest and prettiest and coolest girl and they had monkeypants on their cake and his son made a banner that welcomed her to her new home.
I can't stand Keillor. Sorry!
