This new job is keeping me busy. I don't even have my usual eight hours of reading blogs that I'm use to during a working day. I'm actually working. Weird. When not looking up what the hell an "em dash" is, trying to get out of meetings, and scooping kitty litter, I've been reading "the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Díaz. Wow. Dirty, nerdy (how do non-nerds get all the references? especially during the first few chapters?), like a mash-up of "Love in the Time of Cholera" and...I don't know, Lethem? Something like that. Man, that Diaz can write. Also in news you can use, Princess Albany the stray cat has gained two pounds.
