Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

Before Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr made words superfluous, I was a card carrying member of the blogsphere. Apart from dissecting my life in long form several times a week over 4 years I eagerly consumed an extensive blogroll. I loved the funny vignettes painted by fellow bloggers. It was my equivalent to the morning paper as I settled into the office in the morning.

Jenny Lawson's book reminds me of some of the best aspects of that world (no surprise as she is a blogger herself) It's outsized personalities finding the drama in everyday life and celebrating the absurd while chasing down every tangent and oh look! something shiny over there! Bad-ass Harry Potter vaginas, Beyonce the Giant Metal Chicken, and hand puppets made from small dead rodents.

Oh relax, it was a squirrel. Funny, random, self-indulgent.
