A Home at the End of the World
So I am currently reading A Home at the End of the World by Michael Cunningham and it is seriously one of the best books I have ever read. At the same time I'm not sure it would appeal to all people but very specifically appeals to me. Basically it is about these two guys who are pseudo in love when they are younger, one moves to NY and plans to have a baby with this girl even though he is gay and she is straight but they are in a kind of love and want to have a baby, but then the other guy moves to ny and sorta falls in love with the girl and they start having sex and she gets pregant. And then tehre is a side story about the one kids parents and how is mom was settled but unhappy in her life.

ANyway, seriously I have never read a book where I can honestly relate to every character so well in at least one way and also like see so many of my friends and family in the characters. I was gonna quote some parts and talk about them but the list grew too long and I couldn't decide what to include. But for instance at one point the one kid Jonathan talks about how he wanted his life to be Puckish which is crazy because I always wanted to be liek Puck from MIdsummers NIght Dream and liek he was always one of my favorite play characters of all time. And the way the three characters act when they live together in NY reminds me in so many ways of my friendships. I don't know but i just love the book and recommend it i think but you may not like it but i do.

Paul's Bday
Remeber when I used to write like complete novels after each party about what happened, this will be more of a quick highlight.

-sarah was the best person/hostess ever, she made mini-BLT's which were so tasty and I'm glad they were made before the majority of people showed up so I could have a lot. Bacon is tasty.

-ok sarah is also the second reason the party was fun, she makes me tasty drinks. Tina does too though!!! So kudos to Sarah and Tina for giving me tasty liquer.

-Hmm i overheard someone offer a threesome to a particular future pharmacist and tasty barmaid and I heard some bathroom misbehaving ensued but I don't think anything actually happened but will have to replay the tape to find out. j/k but wouldn't it have been fun if there were hidden cameras recording everything that happened. Good luck to the three of you and your future conquest.

-I foudn out that the kid in the front half of the house likes cash registers or did when he was little and I love cash registers and he was supposed to be there but never showed up which was sad because I have never had a good chat with someone else who likes cash registers even close to the amount that I like them.

-Chris offered me the cash registers that are in the basement of the Elmwood Pet Store and I want them really bad, though I think my parents will kill me if I brought home three more cash registers to add to my collection so I would have to keep them hidden for now. I can't wait until I have a huge house and i can have a cash register room, or entire floor or maybe even an entire cash register wing of the house.

-my cousins came and I fear they think I am an alcoholic cuz I am always kinda drunk at these parties and that is the only time they see me. But it was fun.

-did i mention tasty BLTs cuz they are tasty!

Ok that's all for now...

Snoop Dogg
OH MY! It is the beginning of Jay Leno and they say Snopp Dogg is on and I think my dad says in all seriousness "Oh I like Snopp DOgg" and my mom replies "yeah, me too". AND THEY ARE SERIOUS I THINK! I didn't ask them about it because I want to believe it was true. Oh my looney tooney parents.

Golden Globes
I love awards shows, and preshows and today was Joan and Melissa's first red carpet coverage for the TV Guide channel as opposed to E and I missed it. I completely forgot earlier on and then I had a stupid meeting at work from 6-8 and so i missed it. How very, very sad. I do hate Starr Jones red carpet commentary though, she is terrible and E! defintely lost out to the TV Guide channel in this case I would assume. Anyway, I saw most of the awards but then went to see Kinsey and had to tape the rest so I'll see tomorrow what happened. To people who know me, they know it is crazy that i even left my house during an awards show but I decided, what the heck I want to go see a movie, but I kinda regret because I relaly do love award shows live!!! There's always the Oscars!!!
