It's Sunday, which is kind of like Friday to me seeing as my work week ends and I now have 2 days off in a row. Here is a quick rundown of my week/things I discovered that i think other people need to know about:- I made a sugar pie on Thursday night (as pictured). It was tasty and served as my breakfast the next day. I'll have to write about my parent's concern over me developing diabetes in a later post.
- I just discovered the website playlist.com and I'm thinking of making a playlist for this site but I'm pretty sure that's an obnoxious move on my part.

- Just finished reading the book "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn, as wikipedia puts it:
"The novel is the story of a traveling carnival run by Aloysius "Al" Binewski and his wife "Crystal" Lil. When the business begins to fail, the couple devise an idea to breed their own freak show, using various drugs and radioactive material to alter the genes of their children. Who emerges are Arturo ("Arty"), a boy with flippers for hands and feet; Electra ("Elly") and Iphigenia ("Iphy"), the Siamese Twins; Olympia ("Oly"), the hunchback albino dwarf; and Fortunato ("Chick"), the normal-looking telekinetic baby of the family, as well as a number of stillborns kept preserved in jars in a special wing of the freak show. Oly tells the story of her family in the form of a novel written for her daughter Miranda."
A friend of mine recommended the book to me a few years ago and I wasn't able to put it down since I found it at Value Village last week.
- David Mirvish books is closing at the end of February (or so I'm lead to believe). However, I don't think they will be having a big blowout sale which means I won't be able to buy Taryn Simon's book for anything less than $80. Her website has some of her work on it (Thanks for showing me that one Marshall) but the book is beautiful and super interesting. If you feel like buying the book for me I wouldn't object.
That's all I got right about now. Well, to be honest there is a ton of stuff I could make into a list right now but I'll restrain myself.
Have a good week!
