5k Survey LXXII

3651. What do you think of jazz? >> I don’t have a solid opinion about it. I mostly like hearing it when I’m in NOLA, because that just makes sense. Otherwise I don’t seek it out. 3652. Why do you suppose Christmas has more hype than Chanucka? >> Because a blatant Christian hegemony rules this country, first of all. Second of all, Christmas and Hanukkah aren’t direct analogues -- it’s not like Hanukkah is “Jewish Christmas” or something, it’s its own thing and completely unrelated. So this comparison is flawed anyway, and only emphasises how Christianity has influenced society. 3653. What is like a rock? >> Chevy trucks, apparently. 3654. Who do you 100% trust? >> Can Calah. 3655. Are you dreaming of a white christmas? >> I’m not dreaming of Christmas yet, Halloween isn’t over. As rabid as I am for Christmas stuff, I do prefer to celebrate the holidays in their order and in their time. That’s part of the fun -- the anticipation.

3656. Have you done anything nice for your neighbors this year? >> I don’t do anything in regards to my neighbours. I really wish I didn’t have any. 3657.

Why can't students just freely write their gathered info and opinions the way they feel is best for them? >> Because schools are teaching a standardised structure for academic writing that will ostensibly be used throughout one’s educational career. The sooner you learn it, the sooner it becomes second nature -- and if you end up not pursuing higher education after all, then whatever, no harm done. 3664. What's your favorite fairy tale? >> The Snow Queen. 3665. How will explain god to your children (or a child)? >> As far as the Abrahamic God goes, I’d just read them the stories and explain tricky bits as best as I can, just like I’d do with any other kind of mythology. I’d probably have to take a sidebar to explain that America runs on Dunkin Christianity so there’s a huge bias they’re gonna have to deal with, and a lot of people will say that this god in particular is the only god and will be perfectly willing to fight you about it. So... yeah, there’s that, but otherwise “hey wanna hear a cool story about this dude named Moses” or whatever would be my general tactic. 3666. Is this question satanic? >> I’ve read that it’s possible the Evil Number is actually read as 616, which I like bringing up in this city in particular because that’s the area code here. 3667. Name a person that you love. Describe how they look: Describe how they sound: Describe how they smell: Describe how they feel: Describe how they taste: 3668.

If the jehovas witnesses dropped by your house what would you do? >> Well, I live in an apartment complex so I just wouldn’t buzz them in... also, real talk, I haven’t seen JW doorknockers in ages.

Would you like it better if it were a talking teddybear or a mini tarot deck? >> --- 3672. Where does the sky begin? Just above the ground? >> I’m not sure. 3673. What's the most romantic thing to do? >> --- 3674. What's your most twisted, perverted or odd fantasy? >> I’m not going to go into that here. I have a whole different blog for that sort of content. Compartmentalisation! 3675. What's wrong with lieing? >> The hurting-people bit, when applicable. 3676. If you could have lunch with any _______ who would it be? rock star? actor/actress? political leader? historical figure? dead person? person from your past? person in the world? writer? artist? fictional character?

I’m not overly familiar with British currency. 3682. What was the saddest most tear jerking heart wrenching moment of the movie Titanic? >> I’ve never seen it. 3683.

Why is jesus always pictured as white when he came from the middle east and was probably middle eastern? >> Oh, you know why. 3685. Which is worse: Sand in your underwear or Sand in your mouth? >> Sand. Period. 3686. Has President Bush made his case for war with Iraq? >> --- 3687. Should Senator Lott resign (or have resigned) his leadership post? >> --- 3688. If you could pick time's person of the year who would you pick? >> --- 3689. Name all the people you know who you are attracted to and what is attracctive about them? >> --- 3690. What does RSVP actually mean? >> Respondez s’il vous plait or something like that. Google is liable to be more accurate than me. 3691. Is rhyming fun? >> I mean, I’m sure it can be. 3692. Are your dreams violent? >> Not usually. 3693.

Should I smile because we're friends or cry because that's all we'll ever be? >> ??? 3696. What do you think of the slogan 'you laugh because i'm different. I laugh becuse you are all the same' >> I think it’s pretty laughable, but I am also fondly reminded of being young and “edgy” and having MySpace graphics that said shit like that.

How do you stop dry elbows? >> Moisturiser???? 3698. Why don't people MAKE gifts more often? >> Because it takes time, and energy, and skill, and people can have a wildly varying amount of all three of those. Also, maybe people just don’t want to, and that’s fine. To me, it really is the thought that counts -- the fact that you appreciate me and want to give me a gift to show that you’re thinking of me, no matter what the gift is. (This is also why I’m pretty restrictive about holiday gift-giving, because I don’t trust or want gifts that are given out of some consumerist Hallmark-ass social obligation. And Sparrow’s family buys into that shit hardcore, so.) 3699. Tell it to the world! Read my lips: >> --- 3700. Do you like those plastic couch coverings? >> Do I like them??? Absolutely not, lmao?

Thumbnails 8/28/18

Thumbnails is a roundup of brief excerpts to introduce you to articles from other websites that we found interesting and exciting. We provide links to the original sources for you to read in their entirety.—Chaz Ebert

"Miranda Harcourt on 'The Changeover' and Whānau Values in New Zealand": At Indie Outlook, I interview the acclaimed actress and acting coach about her terrific new feature that she directed with her husband, Stuart McKenzie. We also discuss her ingenious coaching techniques, clients such as Melanie Lynskey and Nicole Kidman, and her daughter, "Leave No Trace" star Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie.

“I was coaching a few actors via Skype for the role that Thomasin ended up playing in ‘Consent,’ and she was reading a book while listening to our session. After I hung up, Thomasin said in her little voice, ‘I’d like to audition for that role,’ and I went, ‘What? But you hate acting.’ She replied, ‘No, it sounds like a really great story to tell,’ so we did a little read-through of the script right here, exactly where I am sitting right now. I was like, ‘Oh my god, you are amazing.’ It was a great performance, and when she went in for the audition, she got the role. The film was directed by Robert Sarkies, who also made another great New Zealand movie, ‘Out of the Blue.’ Even now, I don’t think Thomasin has seen all of ‘Consent,’ because she wasn’t even allowed to see the bits that she was in. She’s only in the first 17 minutes, but it’s a very intense journey. It took a lot of courage for her to portray a girl who is raped. Francis Biggs, one of my students I taught at Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School, portrayed the rapist with whom Thomasin had to play that scene in ‘Consent.’ We’re both really grateful to Francis because he and Thomasin did ‘hug to connect’ before they played that scene. It enabled Francis and Thomasin to play quite an intense rape scene together so that they are in the flow of telling that story together. They weren’t in opposition, which would’ve been very psychologically damaging, not only to Thomasin, who was 13 at the time, but also to poor old Francis, because it was not a happy job for him. I’ve got a collection of great photographs chronicling the interactions that Thomasin and Francis had in order to build that relationship over a couple of weeks while preparing for the scene. Over the couple of weeks after they did that scene, Thomasin would consistently check in with him and say, ‘Hey Francis! I’m really proud of the work we did together, and I hope you feel good about it too. Just remember—it’s only acting!’”

"Call it a Comeback: The Inside Story of Elvis Presley's Iconic 1968 Special": As remembered by our contributor Donald Liebenson at Vanity Fair.

“Elvis looms large in the singer’s legend. The live-wire special is featured prominently in two 2018 documentaries, Eugene Jarecki’s ‘The King’ (now in theaters) and Thom Zimny’s ‘The Searcher’ (on HBO). It capped a decade in which Elvis could mostly be seen only in the movies, and, increasingly, not very good movies at that. Taped in June and broadcast on December 3, 1968, it was his first television appearance since 1960, when he guest-starred on ‘Frank Sinatra’s Welcome Home Party for Elvis.’ At the time, he hadn’t performed in front of a live audience in seven years. But Presley and Binder’s creative team delivered. [Steve] Binder, a self-professed ‘West Coast guy into surf music,’ finished the special feeling in awe of Presley. ‘For me, the ‘68 special is seeing a man re-discover himself,’ Binder said. ‘I saw it on his face and in his body language as we progressed.’ Susan Doll, author of Elvis for Dummies, agreed. ‘I think it’s the peak of his career,’ she said. Col. Tom Parker, Presley’s infamously controlling manager, had promised NBC a one-hour special if the network financed Presley’s next film—‘Change of Habit,’ Presley’s screen swan song, released in 1969. He never told Presley about the deal, with good reason: ‘Elvis didn’t want to do television,’ Binder said. ‘He felt he had been burned by it.’ Even Steve Allen, the talk-show host hip enough to give Lenny Bruce a shot on prime time, forced cheese on Presley, putting him in a tuxedo to sing ‘Hound Dog’ to an actual hound dog.”

"'It Was No Gang, It Was One Guy, And He Wasn't Really a Killer': Producer and Star Edward James Olmos on 'The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez": In conversation with Jim Hemphill of Filmmaker Magazine.

“When Bob [Young] agreed to do the picture and rewrite the screenplay from scratch, he and I went to the real locations where it all happened. We went to Gonzales, Texas, where they captured and imprisoned Gregorio Cortez, and we found the exact prison. We found his cell. The jail and the courthouse were exactly how they were in 1901, it gave us an authenticity unlike anything I had ever experienced before in film. We had to talk the district court judge in Gonzales into letting us use the courthouse, and when he asked us what kind of movie we were doing, Bob kept speaking in general terms of how important our subject was to Mexican-American people and to the Latino culture, but he wouldn’t say the name because at that time no one knew who Gregorio Cortez was. The judge kept asking, ‘What’s his name?’ and finally Bob says, ‘His name is Gregorio Cortez, but he’s a really important—‘ and this guy says, ‘Stop, stop. I’ve been waiting for you guys for 35 years.’ He opens his filing cabinets, and in these cabinets is every single piece of testimony and every single newspaper article from around the country related to the trial. This judge was the foremost authority on the case in the world, bar none. He felt it was one of the most important cases in U.S. history because it was the first time a Latino had been tried in an American court of law, and with an interpreter, which was unheard of in 1901. This guy had filing cabinets filled with material, because the case was followed all over the country – it involved something like 600 Texas Rangers in hot pursuit of what they thought was a Mexican gang of killers. And it was no gang, it was one guy, and he wasn’t really a killer – it was self-defense. Anyway, discovering all that material was just unbelievable. It was magical. And it allowed us to make what the United States Historical Society claimed to be the most authentic Western ever made in American film, ever.”

"John McCain, War Hero, Senator, Presidential Contender, Dies at 81": Robert D. McFadden of The New York Times reflects on the honorable legacy of the late politician.

“In a 2018 memoir, ‘The Restless Wave: Good Times, Just Causes, Great Fights and Other Appreciations,’ he defended Ms. Palin’s campaign performance, but expressed regret that he had not instead chosen Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent. At some McCain rallies, vitriolic crowds disparaged black people and Muslims, and when a woman said she did not trust Mr. Obama because ‘he’s an Arab,’ Mr. McCain, in one of the most lauded moments of his campaign, replied: ‘No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.’ Analysts later said that Mr. Obama had engineered a nearly perfect campaign. And Mr. McCain confronted a hostile political environment for Republicans, who were dragged down by President George W. Bush’s dismal approval ratings amid the economic crisis and an unpopular war in Iraq. On Election Day, Mr. McCain lost most of the battleground states and some that were traditionally Republican. Mr. Obama won with 53 percent of the popular vote to Mr. McCain’s 46 percent, and 365 Electoral College votes to Mr. McCain’s 173. ‘Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did,’ Mr. Obama said Saturday. ‘But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John’s best, he showed us what that means.’”

"Inside Patricia Clarkson's brutal 'Sharp Objects' performance: 'It's dark and nasty and twisted and beautiful'": The actress chats with The Washington Post's Jessica M. Goldstein about her role in HBO's excellent miniseries.

“In Wind Gap, poison is poured down the throats of unsuspecting children. Baby teeth are pried from little girls’ gums, and skin is sliced until it scars. Yet the most transgressive act of violence in town is the low, almost-whispered delivery of four small words. Over a drink, by candlelight, a mother tells her daughter: ‘I never loved you.’ There’s no shortage of cruelty in ‘Sharp Objects,’ the eight-part HBO miniseries based on Gillian Flynn’s 2006 debut novel, whose women pass trauma from generation to generation like a haunted heirloom. But no one cuts quite like Adora, played by Patricia Clarkson. She’s a matriarch [...] who coolly tells her wayward eldest daughter, Camille (Amy Adams), that she feels nothing for her, save for disappointment and disgust. Clarkson, the 58-year-old New Orleanian actress who sees glimmers of her own grandmother in the best parts of Adora, knows these scenes appear brutal. ‘But I think why they have the impact they do is that I don’t think Adora ever thinks of them as brutal,’ she said by phone from her apartment in New York. ‘I think that was what was essential. When I tell her I never loved her, I think it’s just Adora feeling connected to her for a moment to be as honest as she can be. … Sometimes she was just openly cruel. But other times, I think, when she speaks, she’s actually revealing the truth.’ ‘This is the most violent line in the series,’ said director Jean-Marc Vallée. ‘It’s not something you say to your child. … You just destroyed her! And she’s not realizing that. Or maybe she does, and she’s that cruel, that evil. But we’re not sure. And that’s what’s great about the character: that you try to understand, and you’re not sure.’”

Though Mel Gibson had made fairly the title for himself on either side of the spectrum some years again, his current work has proven some clear promise for the long run. After his DUI, anti-Semitic and racial remarks in opposition to African Individuals, it appeared that each one hope was misplaced for Gibson. But in 2016, he got here out along with his first directing position since 2006 along with his movie Hacksaw Ridge. He went on to obtain a directing honor on the Hollywood Movie Awards accompanying a standing ovation for his general comeback. Though it took 10 years, plainly Gibson is again and able to play ball once more.

Describing the interview to TIME, Steep mentioned: “He got here as much as me and mentioned, ‘I’m Dustin—burp—Hoffman,’ and he put his hand on my breast,” Streep mentioned. “What an obnoxious pig, I assumed.”

Steep went on to get the half and she or he and Hoffman famously clashed on set. In a single occasion, Meryl steered altering a climactic scene to make clear her character’s motivation. When writer-director Robert Benton agreed, Hoffman reportedly exploded and mentioned: “Meryl, why don’t you cease carrying the flag for feminism and simply act the scene?”

On prime of his now well-known beef with Meryl Streep, many others have echoed her sentiment and mentioned Dustin Hoffman is tough to work. A number of folks imagine that is do to him being a perfectionist. Wanting artistic management over every little thing associated to his efficiency in a challenge, the 80-something star even admits he’s tough. This isn’t too stunning, contemplating The Graduate star has had such an extended and profitable profession spanning greater than 5 a long time. Though he’s earned a fame for being very off-putting on set, it hasn’t curtailed his profession, and he has continued to be forged in quite a lot of roles all through the years.

If one factor’s for positive, Dustin Hoffman is effectively conscious of his fame for being tough to work with and isn’t afraid to say that he thinks this label is unfair, contemplating different actor’s unhealthy habits. “I stay in a neighborhood the place there are rather more objectionable issues being completed than disagreeing with a director,” Hoffman instructed The Guardian. “I imply, Jack Nicholson threw a tv set at Roman Polanski, Invoice Murray picked up the producer and threw her within the water, and Gene Hackman would throw a director from one finish of the room to a different, and I at all times thought, why have I bought this fame…”

Gwyneth Paltrow has had a formidable profession during the last 20 years. She’s starred within the Oscar-winning Shakespeare In Love, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Se7en, simply to call a couple of. There’s little doubt that the star is proficient, however she isn’t probably the most favored star both.

On a number of events, it’s been mentioned that Paltrow isn’t simple to work with because of her coldness and demanding nature on set. In keeping with IMDB, “Paltrow is alleged to be ultra-competitive and may be unfriendly to folks she sees as rivals. She apparently refused to talk to Scarlett Johansson on the set of Iron Man 2.”

What makes Gwyneth Paltrow’s case much more fascinating is that not solely is she notoriously unhealthy to work with, however she is seemingly hated by…everybody. At the least in response to Star Journal, she is. In 2013, the publication named her the “Most Hated Celeb.” And whereas they didn’t listing causes, it’s simple to see that they aren’t alone of their opinion. Google “Gwyneth Paltrow annoying quotes” and greater than 266,000 outcomes seem. However why precisely does everybody really feel so negatively concerning the star? Now we have a hunch….

Gwyneth Paltrow has earned herself a fame for being one of the vital pretentious stars on the market. However maybe what provides insult to damage is that she is so contradictory, claiming she’s identical to us however then at all times reminding us she’s higher. Affiliate editor Louis Peitzman says: “ the entire concept that she insists she’s relatable and like everybody else, however she makes it clear again and again that she’s simply not.”

Need proof? Listed below are a couple of memorable Paltrow quotes: “I’m actually (expletive) good at my job.

Ah-da-da-dah, like this within the background. What the (expletive) is it with you? What don’t you (expletive) perceive?

Bale’s rant went on for practically 5 complete minutes as he proceed berating Hurlbut. Sadly for Bale, video of his episode was leaked and now stay on the web perpetually.

My year in review! 12/31/17 (In books, the books that I have read in the year 2017). An essay.

In the year 2017, I have read 23 books in total. I will review some of them that I did like, and others, not so much.

1. Kathy Griffin’s second memoir, “Celebrity Run-Ins, A-Z.” Last year I had bought this specific book as a Christmas present to myself. 2017 has been a totally shitty year for Ms. Griffin. In May, she posted to Facebook.com a picture of a Halloween mask with ketchup smeared all over it, and once it spread, it spread like wildfire. She lost a lot of her coveted jobs: CNN fired her the following week from the New Year’s Eve broadcast that she would do with Anderson Cooper, literally the only thing fun about New Year’s Eve was watching her make Anderson Cooper do weird shit in the freezing cold. It was a bad call, but not one I would say is on the same level with Kramer yelling the “N-word” to an audience member for heckling him at a stand up show. She’s literally on the FBI terror watch list now, lost her sister due to a significant and long battle with cancer, and cut all of her hair off. She’s Janice Ian in Middle School, with Trump being Regina George. It’s ridiculous, but if anyone can come back from a tasteless joke, it’s Kathy. Like Jane Fonda, she’s had (in Kathy’s own words mind you): “ a wall of shit fall in on her, and she’s survived, I dig her!” My sentiments on exactly on how I feel about YOU Ms. Kathy Griffin. What I hope for Ms. Kathy Griffin in 2018 is that she gets her revenge. Whether it’s a revenge body, or a revenge stand up set that knocks it out of the park, I would hope honestly that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of her, and that in 2018 she makes fun of the truly dumb as shit New Year’s Eve broadcast with cross-eyed as fuck Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper tonight. And no I am not watching it.

2. Charles M. Blow’s Memoir “Fire Shut Up in my bones.” The first ten pages of this novel made me want to scream into the heavens: “HOW COULD YOU?!” to his cousin, who he tells in intimate detail mind you of how his cousin raped him when he was a kid, and for most of his life, he tries to figure out why, and how in the world did he let this happen, and what he did to bring this on. In the first 20 pages of the novel, we see him struggle with maybe trying to kill his cousin for his crimes, as his cousin was never charged with sexual abuse. But the main problem I have with that was: his cousin was much much older than Charlie. And it damaged this particular writer for LIFE. I’ve read a lot about sexual abuse, and sexual abuse victims/survivors all say a variation of the same thing: that basically it affected them for life. He then goes on to become the first Black Historical writer for The NY Times, and finds himself struggling to tell people his secret, mainly the women he has sex with. Wouldn’t you?

3. TA- Neishi Coates Memoir “Between the world and Me.” In 2017, I FINALLY was able to read this novel. It’s the love letter of our time. It also proves to me at least, that even with 8 years of a Black President, cops honestly have some work to do with how they treat young black men in this country. And body cams don’t change behaviors.

4. Trevor Noah’s Memoir “Born a Crime.” This novel I bought in February after nursing a bad heart-ache for someone who had rejected me, and I wanted to honestly dive into Trevor Noah’s world for a while. And while he’s unfortunately no Jon Stewart, what he is is very funny. His stand up sets are exactly like this novel, and his work on the daily show right now is so necessary. We all need to be laughing more and more right now, and I appreciate Trevor to let his audience know: that it’s totally OK to be laughing AT Trevor, and WITH him. Please read this book.

5. “A horse walks into a bar” by David Grossman. I didn’t get this one. I finished it, but I didn’t really understand it.

6. “Sick in the head” by Judd Apatow. As probably the only man in Hollywood who literally HASN’T* pinched a woman’s ass on set, I appreciated Judd’s candor here, and his ability to basically get in the mind of a comic. He’s like the journalist who followed around rock stars in the 1970′s. Totally reminds me of the dude in “Almost famous” who interviewed rock stars, instead this guy just followed and stalked Jerry Seinfeld before anyone knew who Jerry Seinfeld was. (Side-note: Jerry in the 80′s never had any furniture in his NYC apartment).

7. “Difficult Women” by Roxanne Gay. This was the first novel I read by Gay, and it was awesome, sad, depressing, understandable, & relatable. I read it in March when it was too cold to do anything else but read, and it really took me on a journey of fictional women who have very difficult lives. It’s a modern take on what women go through every single day.

8. “All grown up” by Jami Attenberg, my first E-book! I bought this book for my phone, and devoured it, bit by bit, page, by page. It’s really a great book. It follows the main character in her 30′s: aimless, a bit of an alcoholic, and totally removed from anyone in society or her family. She’s a journalist or a writer in NYC, and her older brother has a child who’s dying. She’s drinking herself to death, and her mother just wants to know where she is at all times, and she’s like meh. No. I really liked it. It shows you what’s going on in someone else’s mind when they are just too caught up in their own problems to do anything about anyone else’s.

9. “The Refugees” by Viet Than Nguyen, yeah I read this one, but I didn’t love it, I liked it fine, but it didn’t have a rhythm to it at all. Wasn’t really all that much of a page turner, it’s not riveting enough.

10. “Evicted, Poverty, and Profit in the American City”, by Matthew Desmond. Now this book! This book was a page turner, might be one of my favorites of the year! I read it in April-May of 2017 this past year, and it honestly tells the tales of poor people in this country and what they will have to go through to keep a roof over their heads. It’s riveting, depressing, sad, and honestly? A necessary read in Trump’s world.

11. Augusten* Burrough’s “Lust and Wonder.” This book made me LAUGH. I read it in June, June of 2017, and Burroughs is really not known for being funny. He is known for being depressing and sad. My mom has read “Dry” like a zillion times! But this book was both funny, and heartwarming! It warmed my heart! Honestly was confused as to who wrote this one, it honestly could be confused with a David Sedaris novel because it is just so funny. I was laughing out loud literally the whole way through!

12. “La Fayette in the somewhat United States” by Sarah Vowell. I have wanted to read this ever since she came on the daily show, and this year I did! Lay Fayette really had a lot of political aspirations, not only that, but he is the man who truly holds American ideals, and American Idealism in the palm of his hand. I enjoy Vowell’s work. And she wrote this during the 2010 Government shut down, which is impressive, to say the least!

13. “The Princess Diarist” by Carrie Fisher.

14. “A $500 House in Detroit, rebuilding an Abandoned Home and an American City” by Drew Phillip. Good read, depressing though!

15. “Sweet bitter.” By Stephanie Danler, this is a necessary read if you want to make it* as a 20 something bartender in NYC.

16. Neil Degrasse Tyson “Astrophysics for people in a hurry.” A delight, a true delight! Made me want to be in Astronomy class all over again! Read it in a week in May.

17. “Hunger” by Roxanne Gay. Signed first edition, this was a necessary read. I literally had no idea about Gay’s back story, and I’m sure her parents had no idea either. She was gang raped by a boy she loved at 12, and went on to eat and eat and eat to then later cope with the PTSD and depression that comes after a significant trauma. I encourage everyone to read this book, not for the fact that she gained so much weight, but for the fact that she didn’t think she could tell literally anyone that she was gang raped.

18. “The blood of Emmet Till” by Timothy Tyson. Ugh. This book. It takes you through the journey of what happened to Emmet Till, and the people’s lives it affected, and the author spends some time with either the real woman who said that Till raped her, or wolf whistled at her, or her grand child. The takeaway for her was this: “yes he whistled at me, or yes I cried rape, but honestly?” “That boy did not deserve what he got for that.”

19. “Letterman, the last Giant of Late Night” by Jason Zinoman. This book was fun, and it showed what those TV wars between Leno and Letterman were actually like. He may be an asshole that David Letterman, but he keeps you laughing, so it’s less dangerous!

20. “The Daily Show, an Oral History” by Chris Smith. I am so glad I own this book. It’s 407 pages long, but it takes you behind the scenes of the daily show. Watching Jon Stewart’s last show, I own it, but I honestly can’t watch it without sobbing. It just can’t happen. “BULLSHIT!” “Is everywhere!” “Are the kids still here?!” “OK, we’ll deal with that later!”

END OF READING GOAL. BONUS: Read 5 more books!

21. “Standard Deviation” by Katherine Heiny. SUCKED.

22. Al Franken’s “Giant of the Senate.” Too long haha.

23. “I am the messenger” by Markus Zusack*, (comfort reading, I’ve read this book before).
