On another note, it must be the change in weather, but I, along with almost everyone I know, seem to have lost my energy and have the blahs. I sooo did not want to get out of bed this morning - it felt like Saturday, but it wasn't! I am definately going to have a low key weekend, nothing too much planned. I want to find a new knitting project (yes I do knit, but not enough to have a real knitting blog). I've started a few sweaters but none that have gotten me really excited (not in a hot and bothered way, silly).

At first I foud the short stories good, but than as the week progressed I realized I wasn't going to return the book. She has a similar style of wit and humor as Sedaris (although not as eccentric) and many of the stories nicely lingered after reading. Spattered amongst the narratives were sudden strange twists, such as in Resume (not sure if this translates when it is taken out of context, but there really isn't much context to begin with),
Still. The fact is, I could easily have been a Good German.
Now at this point I could do two things. I could say, But look, I'm not a Good German. But that shouldn't cut any ice with you. It doesn't even impress me. Here's the other, more interesting, way I could go: I know I'm Good German material. That is, I may not amount to much, but I don't kid myself. So I should get points, etc.
But I'm not going to go that way. Not because you wouldn't fall for it, because, frankly, you're not too predictable. Meaning no disrespect, of course, but every once in a while you don't make perfect sense to me. For instance, every hour of every day of my life. Example: the wildebeest.
And on it goes, but you get the gyst. Anyways, it's sad that it's all ended. No more stories to discover on the way home tonight. I think I'll stop by the library.
