So, I was reading "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" by Mindy Kaling and was really surprised by it. It wasn't funny at all, and the prose was so deep and wonderful. The stories were tragic and moving, but in a way I'm familiar with where everything at the end makes you feel like you've been through the wringer, but come out completely intact and maybe even a better person because of it. She'd been interviewed on Chelsea Lately and Chelsea went on and on about how funny the book was, and I thought, wow, it's obvious she didn't read it, which is unusual since Chelsea loves books and fellow writers.

I was just scrolling through my RSS items and saw a review that said it wasn't "laugh out loud" funny and I was like, damn right it isn't! But then the reviewer started talking about situations that are totally not in the book at all, like working with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

And that's when all the things I thought while reading the book started making more sense. Things like, I had no idea she's Canadian! Does everyone from Canada write like Douglas Coupland? Why are so many of the stories written from a male point of view?

Yeah, turns out I selected the wrong thing on my Kindle and had been reading "Life After God" by Douglas Coupland, thinking it was Mindy Kaling's book, and wondering how the hell she came up with it. So, I'm glad I finally read "Life After God", and now I get to read Mindy Kaling's book again for the first time. (Cue that The Price is Right "bom-bom, bom-bom, wooooooo" sound.)

Things to be Thankful For

November 23, 2011, 9:44 am

≪ Previous: My tweets

I am amused by the way my mind links things together and never ever lets go. Pretty much every time anyone mentions being thankful for anything, ever, I am transported back to fifth grade when the music teacher stopped by class for an hour each week. The only song I can remember went:

There are many things I am thankful for
I will tell you what they are
I am thankful for the Earth
I am thankful for the sea
I am thankful for my friends
And I'm thankful to be me

Specifically I can hear the music teacher's voice singing, "I am thannnnkful forrrrr my friennnnnds," and the class singing, "And I'm thankful to be meeeee."

I'm not kidding. It's pretty much every time I hear the word "thankful". So, this time of year, I get that in my head a lot.

Since I'm here I may as well mention how much I like being an adult and no longer having to put up with so many shitty people on my mom's side of the family during the holidays. It's actually been that way for a long time now. My mom's mother was a keystone who held a huge portion of my family together, because even though we all hated each other, we put up with each other because we loved her. When she died, everything fell apart and we were all free to pick up the pieces and rebuild as we saw fit. My mom's stepdad always treated me and my mom like shit, and once my grandma died, I never said another word to him. I always said I never would, too, and if I absolutely had to talk to him, it would be to tell him that I'd never forgive him for burying my grandmother when everyone knew for a fact that she thought the practice was disgusting and she wanted to be cremated.

My partner Jackson wanted to check out the local Freemason chapter in Albuquerque because when he was in London, all the right people were members. In ABQ, it was everyone else. The "grandfather" was there with an older couple, who were friends of the family I liked, but of course hadn't seen in years. I didn't talk to them because I didn't want to talk to him, but I'm pretty sure the wife recognized me. I wonder to this day if she feels the same way I do about my grandmother's husband, and always had to put up with him because her husband was friends with him.

ANYWAY

I'm very much looking forward to a nice meal tomorrow with my wonderful husband, awesome inlaws, nieces and a nephew who I'm happy to be a big gay uncle to, and wonderful friends. Being an adult rules.
