look what i did to my couch


My friend Craig from work and I spent a good 2 hours trying to figure out how to get it out of my apartment and load it into his truck, but apparently the guys who brought it in were right, it's not possible to get out of the building without destroying it. They left out that the reason for that is that they stapled it together more sloppily than if a couple of chimps had come in and set it up for me. Jennifer Leather quality. So I borrowed my other coworker's reciprocating saw and took care of the problem in all of about 7 minutes. Check it out.

Book World Laments Lack of Great Fiction

Yahoo! News is running an article about how there's no great new American novel this year. Apparently Michael Cunningham and Jonathan Safran Foer's new novels came up short of expectations. Ha ha.


It looks like Yahoo!'s got a whole news section on literature and authors. Cool. I didn't know that.
