First off? It wasn't that bad. This isn't a scathing review. Yes, I'm surprised too.

Leaving the Starbucks at the mall and passing the fountain, I see a young man with his baby daughter. He has multiple facial piercings and a backwards ball cap, and his daughter looks Asian American. He talks to and looks at her like she's the most precious thing in the world and seems endearingly amused by her facination with the fountain.
Am left with an uplifted feeling of faith in humanity.

I love audiobooks. Not all of them, obviously, but when you find the perfect voice matched with the perfect book, it's a lovely treat to listen to. It's akin to being read to by an old friend. I'm listening to Sabriel and I have to say, the voice actor is perfect. He sounds like an old English man with a cup of tea reading to his grandchildren by a fireplace, spinning stories into visible, tangible worlds like wool. If I ever write a novel, I insist on picking the character who will be reading on the audiobooks.
I give props to Anne Hathaway doing the first two Princess Diaries audiobooks. It would be strange if it were anybody else.
I also love that Neil Gaiman does his own audiobooks. He has a perfect story-telling voice. But Neil Gaiman is a natural-born storyteller so that is to be expected.
I don't think I could do my own audiobooks. I love reading aloud but I couldn't say for sure how I'd sound.
Also, am I the only person who constantly looks back on everything I write and am concerned by how many times I say "I"?
As I'm talking from my point of view I guess I don't have a choice, but if I tried to count every time I use that letter, I think I'd be disgusted with myself.
In other news, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the geniuses behind Gorillaz, have formed a new project called Monkey. It's mostly instrumental and is constructed of very old-fashion Asian music and sound effects. The songs are very bizarre and dreamy and nothing like Gorillaz, but I give them props for originality and trying something new. I do like some of the songs.

Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?

My life in a nutshell?
Well, for starters, I'm getting ready to color my hair again, thank god. Brown just continues to bore me day to day. No offence to people with brown hair, it looks amazing on some people. But on me it's just getting dull (literally. the dye is fading.)
I'm reverting to my cherished fire-engine red, but I'm putting some teal on the bottom layer. (see colors in icon.)
Certainly an adventure, no? It'll be interesting at least.
I made my coffee this morning and accidentally put in one spoon too many coffee grounds. So it was decidedly bitter. And upon finding I have not the patience to make it again, I betrayed the gods and did something that might actually send me to hell: I made instant coffee.
Instant ARTIFICIAL coffee. I'm pretty sure there's nothing actually even remotely resembling coffee in this strange concoction.
Aaaaand there is something in our water. I'm not even kidding. There are little flecks of something in our water. I'm disturbed and disgusted. I really hope I don't like, get lead poisoning or dieeeeeeeeee25490346isdjglza;
Just kidding. I hope.
