I need to relax a bit when I get going on the library web site. As far as China Beach and Twin Peaks...I think that I just don't enjoy shows as much when I have to figure things out, you know? Season 1 of Twin Peaks was awesome but then, well...it sort of fell apart. Although I did watch it every Saturday night. SV's love of the OC makes me very happy. I wonder how she feels now, especially since Taylor is so amazing. I will miss her.

I also love that SV managed to tie together the Oneida Community with Sandy Cohen's eyebrows and the OC.

I currently have 18 items checked out and am still forced to regularly remind myself that I don't actually have to have ALL the books in my possession. It's ok to just take some and exchange them for more later (though secretly I kinda DO want all the books for myself).Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919215971601240222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9372380.post-27856821924184083022007-01-13T11:16:00.000-08:002007-01-13T11:16:00.000-08:00She's really ON FIRE when she writes about Abraham...She's really ON FIRE when she writes about Abraham Lincoln, too. If you haven't read Assassination Vacation yet, do it!! I think she's only gotten better as she's gotten older, but maybe I'm just saying that since she's the same age as we are.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16998413591822017096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9372380.post-50638166106333641942007-01-13T00:24:00.000-08:002007-01-13T00:24:00.000-08:00I think I like Sarah Vowell best when she writes a...I think I like Sarah Vowell best when she writes about music.

I think that I started to curse shows starting with China Beach and Twin Peaks. I know that Twin Peaks has the big cult following but I seriously loved China Beach.

I think what kept it from being a total downer for me was when she'd write about music she loves (I like reading about that from anybody, even if it's music I do not love). ALSO (and I'm not proud of this) the fact that the country is demonstrably so much WORSE OFF now than it was in 95 made me less depressed for then and more depressed for now. Or pissed off. Or both! But then I remembered the music parts... (this is why I've resolved to write up books sooner to when I finish them.) I think my favorite Vowell books are The Partly Cloudy Patriot and Assassination Vacation.
