					<description><![CDATA[YOU DIDN&#039;T KNOW ABOUT THE PUPPY BOWL?! OH MY GOD, JEN!

This is how Russell and I spend the Superbowl: locked in a gay bar, watching the Puppy Bowl. I LOVE PUPPIES.

OMFG-- what if there were a Kitten Bowl?!?! I would die, Jen. I would just DIE. Of CUTE.


I didn&#039;t read the rest of this entry. I&#039;m shocked by your ignorance of all things adorable. I don&#039;t think I even know you anymore.]]></description>

Sure, I would agree with the broad strokes as - aghast? - plot devices and yet, Richard did have a few things that he did that were unexpected.  Maybe not redeeming but still, a few.    And he was just necessary to be as he was because he provoked such awesomeness out of his dad!   Loved the snark and sadness of loving the son and not liking him at all.    But I do understand what you say.]]></description>

Oh, you wanted a literal rainy day! I think when I say I&#039;m saving something for a rainy day, what I actually mean is a day when I am sad. Rainy days are often very pleasant, and once I am inside, all cozy and snuggled up and listening to the rain outside, I am at peak contentment level and hardly mind what book I am reading.]]></description>

Roger was a big disappointment. Poo to Roger. Roger bugged me disproportionate to how important he was in the book.

That&#039;s what I thought had happened to the guns. I just didn&#039;t remember specifically.]]></description>

It is! How dare there be two similar titles out there, confusing my poor and easily-confused brain? #grumble]]></description>

This probably says something terrible about me, but I hadn&#039;t even thought to wonder what was on the cover. I&#039;ve seen it a dozen times and I knew it had coats on it. Coatrack never occurred to me at all.]]></description>

That is a nice problem to have -- but still, it can be overwhelming. I finally bothered to make a separate shelf for books that I want to read promptly, and it&#039;s organized my reading wonderfully. When I am lying about wondering what to read, instead of going straight to the library website, I look at my TBR shelf and take something from it instead.]]></description>
