Are there books more depressing than The Road ? Like, ever?
Oh god yes! Those aspirational books where the heroine has a lovely house in the Back Bay and a cabin in Stowe, with her lovely children on their way to Phillips Exeter or Andover and their big trust funds? Those are WAY more depressing because they force me to realize I'm 40 and I'll never own a house.

Or you know, EVERY Martha Stewart book ever published which inevitably remind me why I can't have nice things.

Oh god, I feel the same way. And it kills me inside.
I always think we could move to ... South Dakota? Maybe we could afford a house there? And then I cry.
going for a threepeat of random....
has anyone watched The Pioneer Woman tv show yet?

Or Cleveland or Detroit! Unfortunately also no jobs...
I did, Kat. She seemed more comfortable in the second episode I saw than the very first, and I like the format. I think she needs a little more time to really relax into it.
She and Marlboro Man are very sweet together, though.
See... her life makes me more depressed than
The Road
too. She's like country Martha Stewart, but a former ballerina. I have the show on the DVR, but haven't watched yet.
bah. growl. grumble.
I'm unfit for humanity.
I also realized I can use John Mellencamp lyrics to teach allegory, so that was sort of fun!
Holy SHIT! John Mellencamp is 60! I thought he was much younger than that. Like maybe 15 years older than I am. Which he sort of is, +/- 5 years.
SHIT. I'm getting old.
