I just love David Sedaris' work. I don't think I'd like him if I met him, but he is laceratingly honest and perceptive. Tuesday, July 29, 2003   David Sedaris gives instruction on how to read Moby Dick. It's what my brother, Paul, would call "all symbolical and shit," meaning that no one ever approached the author to say, "I could tell you probably had a lot of fun writing it." By the end of the first paragraph, I realize that in order to get through all 521 pages, I'll have to come up with an incentive, something that might help spur me on. Hugh and I are spending the week in Normandy. There are no shops or theaters nearby, so rather than reward myself with magazines and movies, I've decided I won't bathe, shave, or change my clothes until I'm finished with the book.

The path to inner peace.. I discovered my new guru, Deepak Gupta, on Ryze: I think I have found inner peace. I read an article that said the way to achieve inner peace is to finish things I had started. Today I finished 2 bags of potato chips, one black forest pastry, a fifth of Absolut Vodka and a small box of chocolates. I feel better already. Pass along to those who need it.
