Because I had a lot of work to do today, I jumped onto Facebook to see what’s up with some of the people I like and some of the people I don’t like. (Don’t ever fret. I like you. Obviously.) I’m scrolling, I’m scrolling, I’m scrolling, and then: Holy shit.
For the first time EVER since I’ve been on Facebook, an ad popped up that I didn’t feel the need to report as inappropriate (sportswear!) or uninteresting (weight loss stuff!). AND, as much as I hate it when people say things like “I felt seen”: The ad for the following items made me feel SEEN.
There is a jewelry designer who makes triple-headed baby earrings and triple-headed baby rings, and I can’t remember the last time I was this excited. About anything. (I’m exaggerating a little. The John Irving book pictured in my sidebar? I ordered it something like eight months in advance and it is not disappointing me at all.)
This is exactly what I would look like if I had a pair of triple-headed baby earrings.
(The drawing also shows me wearing the ring, but I’m hiding it behind my back. I can hide so many things back there.) I mean, does this warrant a GoFundMe campaign?
Please keep us posted on the Irving book. I have all but given up on him. LOVed most of his early works, but lately? Not so much. will be thrilled to hear that this is another good one.
I’m enjoying it so far. I’m about a quarter of the way in, and it smells a tiny bit like Owen Meany.
Oooooh, very strong recommendation. I sort of lost him at the one with the coprophagic dog, (I think there were actually two of those, and I feared it was becoming one of those “signature hidden theme” things) and the one with the gratuitous p3n1s-holding in the movie theater put me over the edge. I’ll put this one on my radar. Staying tuned :-)
