 Books I am currently in the middle of: (in the order they were started)
But why, you may ask, is my brain going in so many directions? Perhaps this is because I have done so many awesome things in the past month. September 15: Attended the Audacity of Jokes Obama fundraiser. Among other notable comics were Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords, The Daily Show) and Jonathan Coulton. September 29: The Mobile Pie Hole! Enjoyed free pie and Pushing Daisies swag in Times Square as ABC pimped the season premiere. September 30: Kevin invited me to see Simon Pegg at Comix. I LOVE YOU, KEVIN! October 1: Pushing Daisies premiere! I made delicious pies for my guests and wore a cute dress. Afterward, Kristen helped me hang the Serenity travel posters I've been meaning to hang for months. I also put up the Pushing Daisies dot I was given by a Mobile Pie Hole attendant. It's about two feet wide, and it looks fabulous on the wall! October 2: Bought Nation! Listened to audio book Thursday and Friday. October 5: Toured the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons as a part of Open House New York. October 8: Saw Sarah Vowell speak! October 10: Long-time family friend Tex invited me to a performance art production, for which he composed the music. It was very bizarre, but it was great to see him and his family again! October 12: Kristen and I went out for crepes, then she used me as a model for her painting of a psychotic queen. I'm still waiting to see those photos, Kristen! Later, Tex invited me to watch the Cowboys game, then I treated him to gelato. October 15: Debate Night! And better, my beloved college roommate Ko spent the night! October 16: Kevin and I went to the Obama campaign HQ to get training for phone banking, canvassing, and other forms of volunteering. W00t! October 17: Invited more friends out for crepes! Crepecrepecrepecrepecrepe. October 18: Planned to spend the weekend phone banking, but woke up on Saturday a nasty cold and couldn't. Lamesauce, body. October 20: Ko came to town again! She and I and one of our favourite college professors, Veronica, went to Vesselka for shenanigans and raspberry blintzes. October 21: Saw John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton speak and perform, respectively, at Barnes and Noble. Fig. 1, Jonathan Coulton summons a great white whale through the sheer force of his awesomeness. Fig. 2, John Hodgman sees whut you did thar. Unfortunately, he does not see the great Brobdingnagian hand come to squish his head and filch a copy of his new book, More Information Than You Require. Have I mentioned how much I love living in New York?
