Books I’m currently reading (or planning to after completion of one)

• “Geisha, a Life” by Mineko Iwasaki
• “Falling Leaves: The Memoirs of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter” by Adeline Yen Mah
• “Blood & Banquets: A Berlin Diary 1930-38” by Bella Fromm

It’s a kind of ironic list. Japan, China, and Germany, but it’s only ironic if you really know me as a person.

I think I’m going to start reading nothing but autobiographies and nonfiction. I like fiction because that’s what I write, but I like it when the people I’m reading about are real. For some reason, it makes what I’m reading better just knowing it’s real.

The only book I’m in a real hurry to read is the first one in my list because I don’t own a copy yet. I got it from the library. But I have a feeling I’ll by buying it, and reading it over and over.

Guess what? I’ve started writing a novel form of my and Jessica’s story (it’s currently in script form). I want to post it on here little by little, but I think we want to get copywritten before then. lol. We’re really serious about it. It’s a beautiful, movie-quality story (according to some of our reader/friends), one of the best things we’ve written in the three years we’ve been writing together. We probably won’t finish it until the end of this year, maybe sooner, but doubt it. At this rate, we might be looking at a sequel in our college years.

I want to be Clementine Kruczynski and find my Joel Barish.

Those are characters in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”
In my opinion, it’s the best performance of Jim Carrey’s career. I had written him off because he’s such an over the top comedian and I found him annoying. But when I watched “Eternal Sunshine” the first time, I cried. I cried. I cried. And I laughed, because I was happy, not because it was funny. It’s such a great movie. I think everyone should watch it, whether you like Jim Carrey or not.

I think Jim Carrey should do down-to-earth dramatic roles for the rest of his career. I would hold him close to my heart if he would.

And with that, my children, my long, meaningful posts have returned.
