Still sick, but feeling considerably more human than I have most of this week. It's moved from my sinuses to being lightly in my chest, so while I'm coughing a lot, it's not a very bad cough, and I have a lot more energy than I have in the past few days.

I'm making a lot of headway in Miss Wyoming, which I hope to finish tonight... so far it's a lot better than Girlfriend in a Coma, but not as good as some of Coupland's others.

I liked American Psycho overall but I think a knowledge of the social commentary and satire the filmmakers were attempting is necessary. Maybe a little too subtle. Also, Reese Witherspoon was miscast and seemed too young for her role.

Also saw Mansfield Park yesterday... Austen adapted yet again, an OK way to while away a few hours, but no great shakes.

I'm going to get back to my book and to watching Red Dwarf... toodles.

Miss Wyoming

I saw that at the book store just a few days ago and was so close to picking it up!

Is it worth going back for?

Hmmm... I guess it depends on how much you like Coupland! I'm a huge fan. I didn't find it as moving as Generation X (my favorite of his) or Microserfs, but liked it TONS better than Girlfriend in a Coma and the non-novel stuff. It's entertaining and could be affecting, I suppose. Yeah, probably worth your $13. :)
