high fidelity + beautiful girls = $10 for Barnes & Noble

last week, i saw the movie Beautiful Girls, and have been raving about it since then to anyone that will listen. tuesday i was in Barnes & Noble (i so rarely get to use ampersands), and i saw this book. now, i must confess, i buy books like it's my job. not only do i buy books, but i consume them like reuben studdard consumes entire hams. on top of this, i will read books 20 times over if i enjoy them, a feat even the corpulent mr. studdard fails to achieve with his ham.

i bought this book for a few reasons.

1. i had a barnes & noble gift card with me holding a balance that was the exact price of this book. i took this as an omen.
2. i've heard that it has been optioned to turn into a movie that will be a lot like Beautiful Girls, and it is to be produced by brad pitt and jennifer aniston. how could i refuse? everything those two touch turns to gold!
   
3. this book has been described as a mix of High Fidelity and Beautiful Girls, with a bit of Garden State thrown in. this can only spell an enjoyable read.

i have read only a few pages, because i'd had so much to do. but with so little work to do, i can sit back, drink some tea, enjoy a book, and get a hip replacement.

knocking out that whole to-do list in one afternoon.

listening to: Queen "Somebody to Love"
--remind me to talk about how i've become a rabid fan of Queen these past few months. furthermore, remind me to tell you what Nikki Sixx said about Queen. it's pretty hilarious.
