the last book on CD (actually, back then they were cassettes) i experienced was the dick tracy movie adaptation.

i don't think i'd like to know if my marriage was going to fail. it's partly due to the fact that i have trouble meeting girls. i'd be like, "oh great, now how long's it going to take until i meet another girl that likes me."
