2002-12-06 : Books and Dirt
Dirt under my nails. Why do I have dirt under my nails? Have I been doing gardening in my dreams? I've been reading Anna Quindlen's "Black and Blue"..pretty good. Despite the fact that it's about domestic abuse it isn't all that depressing for some reason..probably cuz she leaves the fucker right at the start of the book and its more about her new life as a different person. Next I'm going to read "The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint" by

Brady Udall. Here is a quote from it "If I could tell you only one thing about my life it would be this: when I was seven years old the mailman ran over my head. As formative events go, nothing else comes close."....I know it's gonna be a kick-ass book!!! Happy Friday!
