It's almost Friday! Kinda..

I had to give my modem some spanks today. He was behaving very badly by not letting me online for the past few days. Tonight he's making me dinner.

So I went to Borders on Monday- David Sedaris, who is a favorite author of mine, was signing copies of his new book. I got one signed for me and one for my brother and I have to say...David Sedaris is one of the nicest guys! He was so friendly and talkative and funny which made standing in line for an hour and a half worthwhile. Unlike when I went to Borders to get a book signed by Billy Corgan, and he had his whole entourage there, and you couldn't hand him his book directly, and he wouldn't personalize it, he would JUST sign his name, and you had about 3 seconds if you wanted to say something. Most people just mumbled a quick thank you.

But with Sedaris, he drew funny pictures in people's books and had different funny stamps, and he asked people questions and was just so personable. When I told him the 2nd book was for my brother he asked me, "Why didn't he make it out today?" I told him he lived in Tennessee to which he replied, "Oh I was just there in April...in Knoxville." So I told him that Knoxville is where my brother is, in fact my whole family, and we chatted about how beautiful TN is and so on. When I got outside, I looked to see what he wrote in our books. In mine, he wrote To Katy Love David Sedaris. Then underneath that was a funny smileyface picture. In my brother's book, he wrote, To Brian. I am so angry I missed you! David Sedaris. Very funny.

The best thing was that he recommended a book for me to read. A book! For me! They didn't have it at Borders, But I'm going to get it this week. All weekend I've been obnoxious saying things like, Well, I need to go get that book David insisted I read! You know, as if he and I were old chums. Which we are. In my head.

Last thing. A woman in line in front of me, about 60, had the essence of a feminist, had her book made out to "Exalted One." I am not kidding. Not sure what that was about, nor do I want to know. "Katy" worked just fine for me.
