i can get five hours of sleep before work tomorrow. the chances of that happening are slim to none. if i get four, i’ll be happy. well, probably not all that happy. but four hours is better than no hours?

i finished reading “Shopgirl” by Steve Martin. it was short, showed promise, but way too much telling going on than showing. it’s like he didn’t give his readers much credit at all. maybe because the book was so short, but i like to figure things out on my own and not have the author tell me everything that’s going on.

at least it was better than the utterly disappointing “Nanny Diaries.” whoever’s doing promotions for that book deserves a raise, because they are good at what they do. the book sucked so much ass and there was so much hype around it. it was utterly predicatable filled with cookie-cutter characters. blech! i’ve loaned the book out to one of my co-workers. she wanted to read it even after hearing my little diatribe. when i handed her the book i said, “you’ve been warned that it absolutely sucks. so if you don’t like it don’t blame me.”
“what if i do like it?”
“then i will lose all respect for you.”

she just laughed. but i’m not sure if i was kidding. really the book was that bad.
