Things I've really been enjoying:
- Postcards From Yo Momma. OMG, everyone else's mother emails them with bizarre and minute details of their days too! I don't feel so alone now!
- Hell's Kitchen. I know it's an old show, but I just got the first disk of the first season from Netflix, and it's hilarious. Gordon Ramsay is such a cantankerous meaniepants to those hapless fools! I love it! I especially love when he lights in to irritated customers who come to the kitchen to find out why they haven't been served anything for over an hour. Cracks my shit up. I'm sad that Dewberry got kicked off so soon, because he was my favorite whipping boy. Apparently he has a blog, though, so that's some consolation. Though it hasn't been updated since 2006.
- Large iced coffee from McDonald's. It's been a while since I've patronized a fast food establishment, so I'd forgotten that a McDonald's large is basically a bucket. I'm used to deli larges, which are reasonable serving sizes. So imagine my astonishment this morning when I ordered a large iced coffee and was handed a half gallon of caffeiney goodness for like a dollar! I drank the whole thing, and I'm REALLY WIRED right now!
Things I'm about to enjoy:
- Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea. What Judy Bloom would write if she were into booze, ecstasy, and sex with midgets. The author's writing style is snappy and fun. It sounds like a delightfully fluffy summer read, which will be a nice counterpoint to War and Peace, which I'm still wading through and will probably be wading through for months to come, because oh yeah, IT'S REALLY FUCKING LONG. Why read it? It's the Everest of books. I'm reading it because it's there and Tolstoy threw down this gauntlet to the world, and I'm not the sort to pass on brazen challenges like that. Besides, it's edifying and actually kind of interesting. But I wouldn't mind a side of fluff.
