RT, I liked that one a lot too. Which led me to buy and (force myself to) read You Shall Know Our Velocity. I'm warning you now -- don't do it. Having finally finished that one, I am now reading the new Dan Savage book Skipping Towards Gomorrah. All about how the Susan Coulters and Bill O'Reillys of the world are trying to take the pursuit of happiness out of other people's lives. But I'm a hippie, free love kind of chick so others might not enjoy it as much as I do.

There are loads of pictures of the baby!! Just none of me (or the ones of me have baby strategically placed...)
They were only like that for about a week -- of course, I remember it as if it were a month. It scarred me.

Um, why? Why not just read something else instead? There aren't many books I'd want to read again six months after I finished them.
Looking for recommendations for my next book. I haven't been into anything in a month, and I'm getting tired of it.Back to top

French Fries Get New Name in Congress
WASHINGTON - Show the flag and pass the ketchup was the order of the day in House cafeterias Tuesday. Lawmakers struck a lunchtime blow against the French and put "freedom fries" on the menu.
And for breakfast they'll now have "freedom toast."
The name changes follow similar actions by restaurants around the country protesting French opposition to the administration's Iraq war plans.
Full Story:

I read "Look at Me," by Jennifer Egan about a week and a half ago, and I couldn't put it down. I had originally picked it up because the basic premise (model in car wreck, face gets altered) seemed similar to Chuck Palahnuik's "Invisible Monsters" and I wanted to see in what direction Egan would take it. I was prepared to scoff at Egan, but I thought it was a rather well done novel.
"Prague" by Arthur Phillips is next on deck.Back to top

We need a book club thread, this thread is for sex talk. The book stuff has always bored me, primarily because my usual reading material consists of internet bulletin boards.
edit: of course, you can also feel free to ignore me and talk about whatever you want.

Do you know if Jennifer Egan is any relationship to Tim Egan, who covers the West for the New York Times?
I can't face reading Prague, since I went to college with the guy and am bitter that he is a published novelist and I am not. I initially thought the same about Bringing_Down_The_House, about a bunch of MIT students who play blackjack for money, but then I read it and marvelled at how poorly it was written and how little the author did with great, great material.
So if you read Prague, and don't like it, please say so here in copious detail.Back to top

"I Know This Much Is True"
I'm reading that now, and it's very entertaining, especially if you're fascinated by the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, like me. But goddammit that Oprah Book Club seal on the front makes me cringe and hide the cover when I'm on the subway.Back to top

I know what you mean. I had to overcome my own snobbishness when I read it. But I'm glad I did. Even now, months after I finished it, I find myself mulling it over.
Dammit, I said it before & I'll say it again. What's the point of literature if it doesn't appeal to people? Fuck Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot for preaching otherwise. Oprah is (was?) doing the world a favor -- anything that gets the rabble (sorry!) reading, at all, is to be cheered wildly.Back to top

According to the book jacket, Jennifer Egan lives in New York, with son and husband. Doesn't mean she's not married to him, but I'd think that'd be a tough marriage.
I'll be happy to give a poor review in detail if the book so warrants. I'll try to keep praise to a minimum.Back to top

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick AI review (posted now b/c I have reaon to believe my efforts tomorrow may be concentrated on me restraining myself from bitch-slapping my assjack client, which may detract from my attention to the boards. That, and I would probably forget my reaction by tomorrow anyway.)
Julia: I didn't think she looked that great, and I failed to see any emotion in her performance. I also didn't think her singing was that good. I didn't get why the judges were so impressed.
Vanessa: eh... never really liked her, don't care now.
Carmen: Sucked. As expected. I would be surprised if anyone but her got voted out this round.
Kim L.: Ok... I was surprised that her motown sound was so lacking.I also thought that the red wrap-around top with those long floaty pieces made her look *really* hippy (and I don't mean that in the PLF lithe spinning hippie chick way)
Corey: Still Yuck. I don't get what anyone sees in him.
Charles: I didn't care for the white hat. I also found his boppy and distrubing movement. He sounded ok though, I guess.
Kimberly C.: She was ok. I don't think she has ever been as good as when she did "Superstition"
Trenyce: This is the first time I was impressed with her. Still don't care for the clothes... for the smae reason I dodn't care for Julia's clothes. Mainly because they looked trashy.
Reuben: Very good. But sometimes I think his facial expressions don't really fit with the song he's singing.
Rickey: Seems like the nicest guy. Good voice, but a little too goofy to have a shot at winning.
Josh: Still got that country sound. Thought Simon was right to tell him to lose a couple pounds... but I am still wondering why he's never mentioned it to Kim L. I am not wild about him, and don't want him to win, but he apparently has a decent fan base.
And my personal fave: CLAY!!!!!!! (What?!?! No kissy-face or hearty emoticon?!?! If there were one I would insert it here. I feel lost. I prefer to express sentiment with stupid smilies than with words....) I was concernend as to how well he would sing motown and was quite pleasantly surprised. He really did a great job, but I think the hair has taken a step back. I *hate* Ryan Seacrest and the hair resemblance was truly disturbing.
All in all most of the performances were ok. I was impressed that they did so well. If I had to sing that genre, I would have immeasurably sucked myself.Back to top

Excellent review, SEC_Chick.
Favorite performances of the night: Trenyce and Ruben -- big voices, excellent performances. Plus, Trenyce stopped dressing like a ho!
Least favorite: Corey and Carmen. Ewwwwwwwwwwww.
Biggest Disappointment: Kim L. She was just blah, and I would have expected better.
Everyone else was better than I expected, though I still don't feel the Clay geek-love (or white sneakers). I liked Charles and Rickey more than I should.
Going home tomorrow: Corey, Carmen or Kim L.Back to top
