Terrible Book Reviews – XII – “Aha, ha, ha, ha” edition

Oh No(riko)

This isn’t a joke. I repeat, she’s being serious.

I have no book shelf-space, but when did that become a hindrance to taking in loot?

Free books, yum! Chronicle Books is giving away $500 worth of books; and this my list, which is about $4 short of the total prize. I’d truly devastate all product-value-guessing humanity on The Price Is Right.

Also, if I win a commenter on this post has a shot to get the books I picked. Booze Cakes cookbook is on the list, come on.

Terrible Book Review XI – Irrelevant Edition

I’ll happily take a job deleting all of the amazon book reviews that complain about the physical shape of the book/cost of the kindle copy/shipping time, which then tank the book’s ratings and make people like me skip over checking out books because the gold stars aren’t filled to the brim.

But points to ‘Book Lover NYC’ for the vivid hoarder imagery.

 

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

So, uh, learning how to make .gifs has apparently turned into a time-suck. It’s the best.

Next stop – making one of a whole 90 minute film! It’s like a silent movie that eats up all your bandwith.

also, this:

Ta-Da!

Finally figured out how to make my own .gif! And of course it’s from Married With Children.

Goals – slaying all of the meaningless ones like a pro.

7 Things You Really Don’t Need To Take A Photo Of

25 years today. Lord…

I don’t know, do people make resolutions for their birthday?

Mine: Enjoy this year aand.. drink a mojito and eat fancy delicious food this weekend with friends/family. That should cover it.

Cold calling for employment is kryptonite for my Type B self

My anecdote to make it all tolerable: Write those bastard phone numbers on an A.D.D.-riddled Korean stationery sheet, write out a pre-scripted intro to read for each call, and have a regroup session between each call by nervously pacing to Miami Horror’s song Holidays. WHY don’t these clinics have websites and email addresses?

Yum, J. Crew sale purchase.
