Cuckoo

There's a book called Greensleeves that I love. In it there is a part when a woman is explaining why she likes cuckoo clocks. She says that she likes them because they remind her of the ridiculousness of the human race, and specifically her own ridiculousness. Perhaps I need to get my own cuckoo clock.

That's just ridiculous. Did I tell you how much I LOVE your engagement pictures. I want to have a sleepover and show you the ones that are my absolute favorite...oh...and drink limeade with umbrellas.

I have the DVD with all of them. We should indeed have a sleepover and make sticky popcorn. For real. I know I made it too many times that one year--but the time has come. And now that I know the correct proportions for the ingredients, it will not taste like acid. Limeade reminds me of Doug. I'm sending him a wedding invitation. Perhaps you could fall in love with him?

Who wrote that book?
Apparently there are a lot of books with that title, at least according to Amazon (he is such a know it all!).
Why are you a Jew?

Eloise Jarvis McGraw. It's out of print, but there's a number of them floating around on Amazon. It's a young adult novel and it's fabulous.

Kegan's just worried because I have a thing for Jews. Well, for Judaism. It's cool, it's interesting, it's got beautiful stuff. I want to go to a Jewish wedding. I was going to try to hang out with some Hasidic Jews that spoke to a comparative religion class I took in high school--before I really knew anything about them (like the whole don't-touch-women-until-marriage thing). Suffice to say, I really like learning about other religions, but mostly Judaism, Catholicism and Islam.
