Well, I thought that it was pretty funny. That whole style a humor via uncomfortable situations, i.e "Meet the Parents," however, tends to wear thin on me pretty quickly. On a larger scale, I worry that "The Office" is running out of steam. The writing is still good, but by solving the problem of Jim and Pam--the heart of the show--their forced to bring what used to be sub-plots into the forefront, and, as a result, I don't have as much invested in the characters as I did during the first three seasons. On a less critical note, despite its slight depreciation, it's still one of the only shows on television worth watching.

Hope all's well, Anne.

strangely, i'm reading the bell jar right now as well, and i agree with your sentiments exactly. the imagery and metaphors she creates are the only redeemable part. esther's descent in to madness seems so contrived and forced. there's no reason i can discern other than angst and anxiety. and if that was all you needed to be crazy i would've been eating bugs off the windowsill and cutting myself long ago.

1. I don't care what you and Sam say, The Bell Jar has been one of my favorite books for a long time. Although, I may admit, I probably need to reread it.
2. I love Iced Chai more than a lot of things.
