Huh.....

Sideways

The new black clogs were like little slabs of heaven wrapped around my feet today. I am so pleased with my shoe purchase (I am also pleased with the $25 Coup-off I used to buy it!). I am walking my new clogs over to the AMC Theater tonight to watch Sideways. Alone. Lizzy said it's Hill-air-E-us so I can't wait to see it. I'll keep you posted.

Last night I woke up at 2:30am and stayed awake until 5:30am. I have no idea why. I can't help thinking it's punishment for having so much sleep this holiday weekend. Since I was up I finished my book. (Reading normally puts me out like a shot of Nyquil -- but not last night) THis book had the worst ending. I was worse then the worst...it had a nonconclusion conclusion. I feel it's my duty to tell you the title and author of this nonconclusion conclusion book so you don't find yourself up at 4:45am desperately flipping to find more pages that might lay out WHERE this author HID my f'ing ENDING....eh hem...sorry...

The book was called The Matter of Grace by Jessica Barksdale Inclan (don't be fooled in to thinking she a great conclusioner JUST because her name is "Jessica" either - NOT SO!!!). If are planning to read this book with no conclusion stop reading this blog entry now for I am going to tell you all about the nonconclusion conclusion. The character in the book, Grace, you're led to believe has cancer. She's great, wonderful, sweet, fit, has a little girl, and has cancer. (You're sucked in thinking bummer, shucks, but wait...) Then, halfway through the book, you find out she might actually be LYING about the cancer and actually has Anorexia and some major mental issues. Throughout the rest of the book her lover, her friends, and her family are trying to find out what is up with this chick. In the end Grace dies, is cremated, and no one ever finds out if she had cancer or anorexia with mental issues. What is even more appalling to me is that in the interview with the author, that I found in the back of the book, (I found this when I was desperately searching for my ending...) Ms. Barksdale Inclan states that she thinks this ending is great! A great depiction of reality. She says that sometimes things happen in life that way. (Your friends might lie about having cancer, but might have an eating disorder, and then die and you don't' find out EVER what happened to them.) WHAT????!!! NO wait...really.....WHAT??!! Who reads books for the slap in the face of reality? NOT ME! NOT AT 4:45AM! What in God's name happened to Grace?
