New National Book Award winners. I'm not incredibly interested in the fiction winner, "Let the Great World Spin" for whatever reason (bad title?) but "The First Tycoon" totally has me hooked. You know how I feel about biographies: LOVE THEM (see: Oppenheimer). And my most recent forays into the trashy world of Upper East Siders/Old Money via Gossip Girl has made me really want to know about the Vanderbilts.
Oh, I just found this cool link on Amazon.com about Frank McCourt's opinion on "Let the Great World Spin." He kind of loves it. (Can you kind of love something? Can you be a tad egotistical? Can you eat jumbo shrimp? Yes.) Hrm. Maybe I'll check it out in paperback.
My mom is currently making love to our new electric heating blanket.

This Aint Sex (This is my new favorite song. It's so good it breaks my heart.)

Post.Script: In case you don't get the title of this post, see Claire's. It's a Philip K. Dick reference. Duh.
