New Sedaris

I learned in W magazine, of all places, that David Sedaris has a new book coming out on June 3 entitled, When You are Engulfed in Flames. Chipper, I know. I'm so happy. I met him at a book signing for his last book, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and he was wonderful. He sat there signing books next to the door so that he could still smoke. He actually talked to everyone as he signed. We spoke about my working in a bookstore and Harry Potter. I can't wait to read this new offering and laugh, and then think about it later and laugh again. at an inappropriate time and place.

Ahh, so fun.

Movies

Freaks and Geeks - I finished the series and I'm sad. It sucks that it was only one season. I know I wouldn't have appreciated it when it was on, so why couldn't more other people have, shame on you all.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - I love this animated series but their schedule is so messed up that it's easier just to rent it.

Shoot 'Em Up - Combine Clive Owen's roles in Children of Men and Sin City and you get this movie. I didn't really like it.

In Good Company - It was funny, short and "real". Overall a decent film.

City of God - Woah! An abrasive film if there ever was one. I had to take a break from it. It was very good all said.

Instant

Murder, She Wrote - I'm almost done with season 1. It's a lot of Jessica Fletcher but she's so clever. My favorite episode title is Hooray for Homicide!

Auntie Mame - the 1958 version is quite lively and entertaining. If there is one lesson to take a way it would be to LIVE!

Summer Style

It'll soon be summer which means swimsuits. Granted here in Florida it's almost always swimsuit weather. Here are some options for men that aren't baggy, cumbersome board shorts. Many are retro in their cut and coloring but still feel fresh and fun. Personally, I find less fabric makes swimming much easier.

Invisible Shelf

I just love this and can't wait to do it myself. It's an Invisible Shelf and it's genius. The base book serves as the shelf holding the rest up. Going to a Friends of the Library sale or yard sale would work perfectly for finding the base book. Personally, I like the books I have so I don't want to use those. I'd pick out something intellectual, scientific, and with a bright cover. Going with a book that's smart but on a topic I'm not interested in would be best so I wouldn't regret partially destroying it.
