A Blog of no Discernible Credibility

The point of this blogging project is two-fold. The obvious point is to present anecdotes about my life in an interesting and witty way, proving that a good writer can write about anything.

The other point is to get me back into the habit of writing every day.

Sadly, there is nothing remotely anecdotal about today at all. I did absolutely nothing.

Ok, one thing might my salvagable from this ho-hum of a day.

I got a call from the public library stating, in a very mechanical way, that my book I requested was in and being held. I assumed it was "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" so I drove down to get it and turn in my old book, Syrup (fantastic!).

I get down there, and am immediately informed that the library is closing in 5 minutes (yes, I know), and ask the librarian to get my book. She asks my last name and I tell her and she looks among the vast sea of reserved books.

"Jennifer?" she says.

I am disappointed, because I assume that Jennifer Government, a book I requested for school in March and was forced to drive across town to find, came in, and there was nothing new for me. I told her I didn't need that book because I've already read it and she said:

"This is Dragon Ball Z..."

We stare at each other.

I realize a girl with my last name and the first name Jennifer reserved a dragon ball z book.

We had a good laugh about that, and, as it turned out, the book that had arrived for me was Will Grayson Will Grayson, by John Green and David Levithan!!

Not quite what I expected so far, and I admit there are subjects I'm generally uncomfortable with, the writers are still awesome and I am not able to put the book down.

Well, there was my ho-hum anecdote. Time for some ho-hum laundry.

KW.
