The Picky Vegetarian let me know that I sold another copy of ASL at Powell’s, which is cool–I think we’re over 160 copies sold, but I’ve lost count (uh . . not ’cause there’s so many of them, but my math skills are poor, at best. Did I tell you about the remedial math class I would’ve had to take at Barnard because of my SATs? Wisely, I did not take math at college. Or maybe not so wisely, considering how often I use the Oriental Humanities class I took instead).
And although she’s an incurable homebody, like me, one of the things I most admire about her is her adventurous spirit when it comes to travel–she recently visited, um, Vietnam, and Laos, and Hong Kong, I think, and she works in the travel section at Powell’s.
Now, she says, “I’m really hot on Mongolia.” I’m hot on Clive Owen, Sean Bean, coffee, fresh feta cheese, smoked almonds, Rufus Wainwright, Loretta Chase, my new short haircut, colored walls, bookmarks, black-painted toenails, Elsa Schiaparelli, hoodies, and my iPod, but not an entire country. That’s just weird.
