A little something light for the weekend.

Tee hee.

I really enjoyed the short book Indexed, by Jessica Hagy.  There's not much to say here (nothing like starting the new blog off with a whimper rather than a bang, and starting to take the holiday weekend a little early) except that it's very fun, and you should take it somewhere where you have to wait in line, like the post office or the bank, because it'll only take you five minutes to read.

The best part?  When you're done, you can simply visit the web site on a daily basis when trying to kill time at work, just like you should already be visiting Overheard in the Office.  CitizenReader is, and always has been, a proud sponsor of killing time at work just to make it to the end of the day.

Happy Weekend, everyone, even if it is a holiday that celebrates the deaths of the young and innocent perpetrated by the old and corrupt.

Jessica Hagy's diagrammatic notecard humor is so witty, original and insightful. An auspicious first start for Citizen Reader. (Love the name, and am updating my blogroll.)

Fresh starts are good now and then, though I'm sorry your archives got fried. I'll miss them, as I miss the trees around the outside of the Capitol Square. Saw today that they had taken down the last of them.

Madison Guy!
Yes, I really like Hagy's work. Simple, quick, funny, and really, really smart. There's nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for the link, and it's good to hear from you! I've got to get my link to you back up as well.

Aw heck. My family runs on index cards.

The kind that get turned into wicked shopping-cart lady books.

Really.

These are better. Much better. Thanks for the FINE and auspicious review and dandy link to an amusing blog. Whee, you are off and rolling, citizenreader! Second Madison Guy's opinion.

I like index cards too. I just wish I could be as witty on them as Hagy is.

Yes, I love providing the links. I'm compiling quite the daily list to visit so I can avoid work that much longer! Clever, huh?

OK more useless Brit trivia - Sir James Goldsmith said that "when you marry your mistress, you create a job vacancy". He certainly did know.
