Life is good...
I'm taking the calendar year off to interview. The interview days are brutal, but the others are pretty sweet. I'm crashing with the folks while I do my southern california interviews. On my off days, I've been working out, surfing the web at the library, eye-balling a pair of converse sneakers I've been wanting and catching up on some reading. I've been reading a lot of the books I read in grade school...lots of Gary Paulsen. I'm probably too much of a city slicker to really relate, but it's nice reading about cold winters on the warm, sitting by the stove, getting lost in the woods and all that good stuff. Brushing up on ma Jhumpa Lahiri - she really is an amazing writer. Interpreter of Maladies is quite a doozy. She does an excellent job of catching the silences and the subtle sadness/loneliness/homesickness that's really ineffable, but I guess not since she was able to capture it. Anyhow, I'm chilling. Have 7 more interviews to go, but I already have a pretty good idea of where I want to go.
This is where I wanna be
Right here with my loved ones
Smokin on some weed
You got chronic why don't you light it up
DOGG POUND!!! If you've heard the song, you know what I'm talking about.

I just read Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies myself. Interesting collection. I felt they were a bit uneven--some were fabulous and others rather flat. But very strong overall. I just started reading another short story collection: Ben Fountain's Brief Encounters with Che Guevara. It is really fantastic. He takes a witty look at Americans who find themselves in the midst of conflict in developing nations and must extricate themsevles.
