Didn’t leave me feeling magnificent

The Magnificent AmbersonsAre “The Magnificent Ambersons” the most irritating family in all of literature? Probably not, but young George Amberson Minafer* and his mother drove me batty straight through this book. It’s well written, and it’s a very good The Times, They Are a-Changin’ story. But let me tell you: All these tragedies have me questioning my commitment to my Modern Library 100 project.** Here’s hoping the next book is a bit more light-hearted.

*I haven’t seen the A&E adaptation, but it looks like they nailed the casting.
**But not, of course, to Sparklemotion. My commitment to Sparklemotion is above reproach.

In celebration of storage

TupperwareI’m having a Tupperware party in a few weeks, because I wanted one of their products that you can only get by hosting a party and I am a rube. Are any of you in need of more stuff some essential storage devices? Let me know if you’d like to order something. Apparently you can’t do it through the website — I wouldn’t get credit for it that way, at least; I don’t know that you actually can’t at all — so you’d have to email me your order and then send the money via Paypal and then Tupperware could ship it to you. (I think.) We’d work all that out.

And if you don’t want to order anything at all, that’s fine too. I’ll get my tiny pitcher either way. (I believe that to be true, anyway.)
