I just recently found out that David Sedaris is one of the greatest people ever. I finished Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim last night. Today I started Me Talk Pretty One Day. His other books should be arriving on my doorstep soon, I ordered them all from Amazon.

I've become slightly jealous of Hugh, his boyfriend.

throughout the day I tend to say "well one of my homes" to myself. and when David says that when hes in tight situation he'll feel the need to touch somebody's head, whenever I think of this, I find myself laughing, no matter where I am.
who likes movies anyway

yeah he's great. "the youth in asia" is one of my favorite stories ever.

have you heard him read his stuff? pretty amazing. there's a really funny recording somewhere of david and amy sedaris together reading "you can't kill the rooster." and amy plays the rooster.

You can't kill the rooster is great. I've read Dress Your family...Me talk Pretty One Day, and Naked. Me Talk Pretty was my first and definitely my favorite. I believe someone has "borrowed" it and haven't seen it since.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

and I t'will read this:


Big and exciting books!
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.
