big girls

would it be weird to invite a friend to my grandfather's birthday bash? that would kill two birds with one stone- hang out with friend AND family during my 4-day stay in LA.

new statistic: there are 150 million gay people in the muslim world. my roommate states this number from some book- gay travels in the muslim world? according to wiki, there are 1.8 billion muslims spread over the northern African continent, indonesia, the middle east, and asia.

i also did a wiki search of margaret cho. original name is actually moran cho. hmm.

i suppose vonnegut did "capture my attention" with The Sirens of Titan, as the back says. Timequake is humorous at times, but dull the rest. good thing i only have 50 pages left of that book. i might give unbearable lightness of being a try- it's on the summer reading rack. espritdecorps: defunct, for the SECOND time. HAHA!

next possible bookventures: anna karenina, madame bovary, war and peace, lolita, in search of lost time (remembrance of things past), middlemarch. i had no idea george eliot was a dude.

She has some great comedy bits regarding her Korean name. And her Korean mother. And her gay Korean daddy. (Daddy not actually gay. But good for a laugh.)

Also, George Eliot is *not* a dude.
