mom call

[supercheesegirl]

My mom just called me up in tears because she just finished Mark Doty's Dog Years. I said, "I gave it to you because I thought it was a good one!" She said, "It was a really, really good one." Then she said I'm not allowed to give her any more books or stories because they make her cry. I protested that just this summer I gave her Haven Kimmel's Zippy, and she suddenly remembered that she had the sequel to Zippy on her shelf and that maybe that might make her feel better.

I'm going to drink some wine and watch The Incredibles. I can't wait until F and his Netflix membership move in with me.
