As a little holiday present to myself, I pre-ordered Ryan Adams' book, Infinity Blues. It came in the mail over the weekend, along with a special exclusive chap book. Both are signed and numbered (710/1000) and the book doesn't even come out until April 2009. Yes! Once I have some time, I'm excited to curl up in bed and start reading. I've already cracked open the chap book and read the first short story.
Anyway, it's the time of year where time seems to dwindle because there's so much going on. It's also the time where I do my "wish I had more money!!!" dance. Ha. I'm racing to get all my gifts in and also wedding planning and holiday party planning and apparently making plenty of aggravating missteps along the way. Planning isn't as fun as the day of. When I get to see my friends and family open gifts or party with my friends or you know, get married. And I have to wait til next year for that one! Okay, I'll stop.
Tonight a group of my friends and I are traveling to 92nd Street (SO FAR AWAY) to see the comedian Zach Galifianakis. (Yeah, I had to look up the spelling.)
Here's a quote from Ryan Adams, about New York City in the short story I mentioned:
"Because what you learn here, if you learn anything, is that you will never be great. But with a little heart, some perseverance, and a loud constant speaking voice, you can fool anybody."
That's a wonderful quote - I will definitely be picking up that book when it comes out to the general public, let us know how it is!
ReplyDeleteLove that quote!
ReplyDeleteLove that quote!
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I know how you feel. I can't find enough time or money, and want time to move even faster to Christmas (I love getting gifts for people) and then... da dum da dum.. Wedding!
ReplyDeletethat has seriously been my personal mantra for the past couple years. i love it, might have to get the book (uhh in April I guess)
ReplyDeleteLOVE Zach Galifianakis! Have fun!! (yeah, I copied and pasted your spelling.)
ReplyDeleteZach Galifianakis is HILARIOUS. I hope you get to see his typical song which ends the show. You'll know what I mean if it happens.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Ryan Adams has a book out kind of makes me wish that I was illiterate.
ReplyDeleteAlso the show tonight is at the 92nd Street Y, but apparently it's in Tribeca. I don't get it, either.
i wonder if my ex will get that book. he was OBSESSED with ryan adams.
ReplyDeleteLove that quote alot!
ReplyDeleteonly a greek could have a last name like that!
