Man, I need to quit fucking off and get to reading...

I'm in a reading funk since I read "Less Than Zero" (I don't know, maybe it's a reading curse... I watched and loved the movie so much when it came out that the book seems like a pile of unrealistic crap to me which is weird cause I'm one of those people who swear that the book was always better). Maybe it has something to do with my Robert Downey Jr crush... I don't know but I do know that I haven't touched another book since. That was in January. And I have a 20 book backlog. I'm so stupid that even with the backlog, I went out and bought some Pablo Neruda, William Carlos Williams and Keats. In total, I bought 7 books. Brand spanking new. Smart! Now I'm 27 books in the shitter. When will I ever learn??? I need to stop watching TV!

But other than my book shopping spree today, life is good. I actually cooked dinner tonight... and didn't burn it! Yeahy for me. But I should have been reading instead of cooking

Now everyone knows about my book fetish. It's almost as bad as my platform shoes fetish but that hasn't gotten out of control yet. So I'll continue to feel guilt about not reading tonight. Maybe I'll stare at one of my 3 overstuffed bookshelves, stand around it and take inventory of what I have... then say "Fuck it. Theres too many to choose from."

I think a book with pictures is what I need to get motivated. Just kidding. I can't even open up my "Making Of Sweeney Todd" book. I'm pathetic!

Laters! I'm going off to contemplate.
