Um, there have been eight days in 2010. Don't you think you're kind of slacking?

Nomi Lubin said...

Whoa, it's growing. I may have to eat my words. chomp chomp

Nomi Lubin said...

Um, how long are those first lady quotations? Should that one really count as a book?

Nomi Lubin said...

(Hopefully you know I'm just a jealous ingrate.)

280 pages, but there was a lot of space in between.

To be fair, Pat Nixon rambles quite a bit.

Nomi Lubin said...

Whoa, a slight to Pat Nixon, and a compliment to you all in one. You're the man.

I'm coming along on the Matisse biography that I started about a year ago.

Nomi Lubin said...

Whoa. Did you just read like ten books in the last week?

I hope you realize that reading can poke your eye out.

Nomi Lubin said...

Yeah, um, way too many of these comments are by me. This is not right.

I have a blog post in my drafts folder (about a month old) about first ladies. I keep putting it off, because I get to Abigail Adams, which makes me think of the movie John Adams, which reminds me of a quote from Parks & Recreation "Now I've got some things I want to say about Laura Linney." Then I go watch Parks & Recreation.

Also, I'm still unemployed. So that's fun.

Nomi Lubin said...

All is forgiven.

(Sorry no job yet. That must be beyond frustrating. Especially because anyone should be THRILLED to hire you. Not joking. I love Parks & Recreation. That's no joke either. Looking forward to first ladies post.)
