DONE! What’s next?

Posted on 31 December, 2009 by

Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done! I spent the past 2 days reading the final 200 pages because I’d be damned before I continued reading this bad boy into the new year.  1,079 pages…FINISHED!  And it … Continue reading →

This is so me.

Posted on 20 October, 2009 by

When I read this passage, much as I hate this section of the book, I had to pause and consider the fact that this is me, and this is my problem in life at the moment. Depressing.  Brutal and depressing. … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 10

Posted on 3 September, 2009 by

Oh.  Shit. Colin Meloy’s article snapped me back to reality.  Before I did that sewing boot camp at the beginning of August and got so horribly off track, I too was firmly reading at pace.  Then I got further and … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 9

Posted on 26 August, 2009 by

I feel like I’m a billion pages behind.  I got sick this week and spent my days curled up on the couch watching TNT’s endless encore presentations of We Are Marshall, plus a bunch of bad ’90s movies on Netflix. … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 8

Posted on 19 August, 2009 by

I was watching the latest episode of “Weeds” yesterday, and was excited to see that Silas just started reading Infinite Jest (in an attempt to woo his pretty, new step-sister).  Then again, he looked none too pleased about it: Yeah, … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 7

Posted on 12 August, 2009 by

Oops, I’m posting this a few days late.  That’s mostly because I had no such luck on catching up; last week got a little insane and I didn’t get to “cram” as I’d hoped to.  But it’s moving along, and … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 6

Posted on 3 August, 2009 by

Arrrrrgh!  I’m so behind!  I enrolled in a sort of week-long sewing boot camp, so that ate up gobs of my time this past week (and will continue to eat up my time until Tuesday night).  While I’m happy to … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 5

Posted on 26 July, 2009 by

Okay, it’s official: I’m exactly one full week behind in the readings.  You know why?  Because I could. not. read. that long chapter about tennis matches and Ennet House.  It was excruciating.  Excruciating.  To the point where I just considered … Continue reading →

Infinite Summer – Week 4

Posted on 20 July, 2009 by

Oh, no!  I fell behind on reading this week.  Part of it was that I got this book at the public library, and had to read ASAP (I’m a pro at accruing library fines).  But mostly, I was just lazy … Continue reading →
