still cheaper than therapy*

note to immediate family members: T.M.I.

(not including m.) Now, fuck off. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Notes for myself alone, since i don't like buying things online from work: Things To Get The Fam For ... dammit, why do i still call it christmas if i don't believe in that stuff? i need a new name for the Winter Holiday Season. Hanukkah is too early. Everybody still always has to work on the Solstice, and nobody knows what it is, anyway, or when it is, for that matter. Kwanzaa is too new. New years' isn't something that gets presents, it's something that gets drunk. i don't want to call it christmas as i'm not really celebrating that whole tradition and it's cheating, making me call it that. as if i wanted to continue the centuries of repressive dogma that started the crusades (because they haven't ended yet!!), or suppourt the institutions of corrupt, brainwashing pedophiles, or ... separation of church and state! subvert the dominant paradigm! shalom, motherfucker! No wonder i feel uncomfortable in churches.

Moving on. i am not a rebel without a cause - all of mine are just so pointless so you only think it seems that way. and you don't need to tell me catholics are nice, i know they are, i just have a problem with authority. like the Pope. Authority. Problem. ok. Moving on, really.

this one (G W Baehne) or possibly this one (James D. Fahnestock); this one (Dava Sobel - or in hardcover); and this one (Peter Esterhazy - in english so i can read it too, unless i can find it in...). Ship in 1-3 days. Must identify Florida address, house-number, zip code. Mmm, i love magic realism, i might want to borrow number 4 there the next time i'm home. Not totally sure about that first ed., but, he's damn hard to shop for. Pricey though. Or, yeess, this one (Mario Livio) - shit, totally that one, screw the first edition - oh, fun: make a working light saber with the plans in this one (Bob Iannini). also, obviously, this one (i <3 jon stewart, only he probably has it already. maybe i know more people that would like a copy?). Something tells me i might like David Sedaris. i have to finish Ulysses before i get *any* more books for me, though. Ulysses, the autumn of the patriarch, celestial harmonies, AND mason&dixon. i am not allowed. (Except Harry Potter, if that ever happens.) why am i so ambitious?
