So I'm reading the reviews for A Good Offense (the sequel to The Best Defense) and I find this:

"...im not getting the whole purple haze thing, it flew right over my head."

For some reason that made me snicker.

Frankly, the reviews joisbishmyoga gets for these stories often make me depressed. Apparently people are reading and yet not reading these days. It's like they forget things that they read just a few sentences ago. Their comprehension seems spotty at best, and ask them to remember something from a previous chapter? Not going to happen apparently.

Now I know I have a somewhat odd and persistent memory but I can't believe that people can really forget something they read just a few minutes ago. My ability to remember stuff I read years ago (decades in some cases) can't be that bizarre, and remembering something from a month ago should be really simple and common, right?

*Waves hand frantically* I'M READING!!!!

I have to... gotta find the desk and I'm running out of free space on the bed and the hubby keeps whining about the path to the bathroom getting narrower and narrower... XDDD

My encroaching paper products are sketches, sketchbooks, and catalogs/magazines I haven't torn down into "photo morgue" and "trash" yet.

Oh, and statements and paid bills I haven't gotten around to filing yet. :P
