Thats an impressive list. Thats like 1 book every 3 weeks.
How would you rank em?

I once got Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs at a book fair. I have yet to read it, though.
I did, however, finally read Mommie Dearest (another book fair find). Not as farcical as the movie, sadly.

Oh, and what did you think of Superstud? I liked the part about the “couples’ skate”.

Superstud brought back all sorts of uncomfortable and embarrassing memories of unsuccessfully trying to woo girls. I really did like it, though.

aggies11: How would I rank them? Jeez, what a tough question. I’ll get back to you on that.

I read superstud too (based on your recommendation) and actually gave it to my boyfriend for his birthday. Way funny. Paul Feig has been directing all kindza television shows I’ve been watching lately (arrested development, weeds etc) too. I swear, Paul Feig is EVERYWHERE!

I didn’t know he had a connection with Arrested Development! You loved Freaks and Geeks, and that’s what I know him from.

Also, I’m glad you liked Superstud :)

You’re not supposed to be writing articles when I am away. How the fuck am I supposed to catch up?
Jackass.

Shit dude! You’re supposed to catch up by reading my blog from Cuba!

Reading is one of the things I tend to do instead of getting enough sleep. Which sucks, because both are a) good for me and b) more fun than work. Yet work eats up a good 43% of every weekday.
No, seriously. I just crunched the numbers.
So how is it that something that sucks gets to use up so much of my day, and stuff I like doing - and that’s good for me - has to be second?
Stupid work.
