Because books.

I told a coworker that if she ever wants to talk about a TV show, she should come to me, because odds are, I watch it.

What I find sad about me is that I know stuff about shows I don't even watch. Osmosis, I guess. Being here, listening to other people chat. My brain is full of useless information about fictional people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My brain is full of useless information about fictional people.

Uh, you're a novelist.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In tragic news, I realized today that my office could have put together a brilliant team for the World Series of Pop Culture, but it's too late to try out in New York. We coulda been a contenda!

Dear Certain Friends Of Mine,
Thanks for asking -- or rather, telling -- me what I wanted to do for my birthday, and when. Apparently what we do for your birthdays is determined by what is most convenient for you, and what we do for my birthday is determined by what is most convenient for you. You're certainly consistent. Speaking of which, the past two years suggest that if I do something with you for my birthday, I will wind up even more annoyed with you both. And I don't want to be, so let's just skip the festivities this year.
Signed,
Bored With This Game

Dear Different Friend Of Mine,
Every year, a week or two before my birthday, you email or call and say, "Hey, want to go grab dinner or something for your birthday? Let me know." We eat, maybe we watch a DVD, and I have a good time. Thank you for reassuring me that I'm really not all that high-maintenance.
Signed,

Dear Anyone,
Do I want these shoes? I can't decide if they're cute or ugly. They're like pugs.

Other people's fictional people, though!

I don't know about you, but I want those shoes, Strega. When's the bday? Hope it is/was good.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What is a noun version of the word "vivid?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's not inconsistent with my story! She was a dominatrix, and she did heroin, and she did have a lesbian lover and she did the autistic school and she died mixing drugs and alcohol.

Google is giving me no confirmation of either the dominatrix or the San Francisco parts of that story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
