Shit still brings tears to my eyes to watch.
Not a happy anniversary.

That picture is awful.
Have you read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close? There's a bit at the end that made me cry for hours. It has that photo in it.
The better I get to know people, the more I find myself loving dogs.

No.. Actually my only gripe about melbourne is you have to go far and wide to find a real bookshop. One that sells authors Safran Foer and Sedaris.. or in fact anything not written by Bryce fucking Courtney.

Sad stuff, but so to was the reactions of the family members who were interviewed when the doco was trying to state that the falling man was the spanish chef. They hotly denied that their father could have jumped, as it was against his religious beliefs.
Even more sad was the parasites who decided to spend all their time trying to work out who he was, and hassling various families to find out.

Unbelievable! Melbourne, the city of culture? I thought it was awash with bookshops.

It's awash with dymmocks and borders sporting a "Top 10" display consisting of 9 Harry Potter novels and the latest mis-lit hoax.
Although, shamed by my lack of reference to your book, I took the drive to Readings and found myself a copy of Extremely... Get back to me in a few weeks. =D

I think Borders on Chapel Stree would have these, or could get them.

Great! Next time I have 4 hours to spare I'll take on the traffic of the eastern suburbs and the crazed snipers of Hoodle street to check it out. Maybe on grand final day?
