Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
My mother is standing in front of the bathroom mirror smelling polished and ready; like Jean Nate, Dippity Do and the waxy sweetness of lipstick.

Palmerston is not a big town, nor one that can convincingly be said to be at the top of its game.
Vineland by Thomas Pynchon
Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof.
Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

Deep is Good
 Scott and Dave donated a $50 gift certificate to the Virgin Megastore to get my ass some new music (ok, it was a birthday present, thanks guys) and I spent a good four hours last Thursday perusing the music-store-to-end-all-music-stores, looking for some good replacements for my worn out collection. The album you see to your left is probably the best deep house I've heard in a while. Mixed by Timewriter, the CD features intricately syncopated beats over a easy four-four rhythm. A few of the tracks even boast mellow horns and jazzy vocals, but the feature that makes this CD really amazing is by far the groovy, non-stop beat. If you love deep house, or just haven't heard it before, be sure to check this one out.
