e.b and I were in bed one night last week - she was reading a new book and I was updating the calendar on my phone. I used to read before bed as well, but in the last couple of years the only time I feel like reading a book is on an airplane or by a swimming pool with a gin + tonic waiting beside me. Even then though.. I'm much more likely to be reading a magazine, emailing someone, or plotting a nap I suppose.
It was a Thursday and because I generally don't like to structure my Friday's it took me about 20 seconds to update my phone. So I waved my hand in front of e.b's face until she gave in and put her book down and I asked her to read me the blurb on the back. I wasn't paying too much attention to the blurb, opting instead shimmy the sheet around for a better view, because, well, you know... However, when I heard the words "authentically horrifying" I had to stop and think for a second. I have no idea why I found this to be so hilarious --- then I wondered aloud if something could be "horrifyingly authentic" and at the time, that seemed even crazier to both of us. Looking back on this now I can think of plenty of things that could be said to be horrifyingly authentic, but late that night it seemed like the funniest thing that had ever been said. Yea, so that's where the "horrifyingly authentic journey" comes from.
I have a finance exam tomorrow and am struggling to stick to studying that instead of going to read the pile of updates to my favorite fic series in the whole word. I started reading the most recent updates and realized I was a bit lost! Must read some of the back stories!!!
Finally catching up on some fall tv - I will soon be able to do more then just nod and smile when my mom launches into a Grey's Anatomy story. I wonder if being available to discuss her fav show could count as a Christmas gift. Christina + Owen + Teddy... high hopes!
