Time for a new book
03.26.2008
I found out about this book where I find out about most of my books…NPR. They really are just about the best source I have for totally new things I never would have picked up otherwise. This one is a memoir by a guy who inexplicably finds himself working for the advertising arm of a giant record label and his crushing disappointment when he realizes he’ll never again be as cool as he was when he was 17 (which wasn’t that cool to begin with) and he has somehow conned his way into a job he has no business being in. I’m still not sure I would have picked it up but to hear him tell some of his stories on the air totally grabbed me. I’m only 20 pages in but so far it’s totally worth the cost of admission.
I think you mis-titled this post. I think you meant to say “Happy Birfday Manduh”
Oh crap I just saw the front page, I am dumb, thanks for the shout out!
I actually heard the interview on NPR and I like the way he describes his old dorkyness with the Donnas, luckily I will never be that guy.
Yeah…you’ll never be that guy.
I’ll never become that guy because I am already that guy…sigh, at least I am younger than you.
Yeah but do you get carded and can you pass for a teenager?
It shouldn’t make me angry but you are 29 now and you are waaaayy past the looking like you are under 21.
Can all you old people settle down, I’m trying to mop the sweat off my glistening, virile 28-yr old body…
Are you mopping it with your back hair?
oh snap!
Jesus people…eww!
Manduh and I still get carded, so there.
Oh yeah, and ICK.
Something really funny happend on Frday when I went out to dinner with mom, mandy and 6 of Mandy’s friends . . . The only ones that didn’t get carded was Mom and I. The look on the waiters face was kind of like “who are you kidding, you sir are waaay older than 21″. I got the last laugh though because I am pretty sure the zit on his forehead was teething.
You should have left your rascal at home…
One of the friends that got carded is older than Matt and another only ordered water.
