Guess who I met today? Reading Like a Writer's Francine Prose. She seemed a bit scatterbrained a first but I'll chalk it up to having another idea or two brewing in her mind.  She was really nice; an average customer. Then I saw her credit card and on impulse asked if she was "the Francine Prose". She laughed, said yes and asked if I had read anything of hers. I told her I was plowing through Reading and she smiled again.

Actually, I haven't gotten through the book cos it's a difficult read. Not difficult as in content but hard to read because it seems verbose and convoluted. Well, that's I what I remember of it. I bought it months ago and decided to read it right away. I read it on two separate occasions and it mysteriously disappeared into my books-from-work-why-did-I-buy-you pile. I suspect it crawled into my storage space on its own volition.

She comes in often and I only now noticed. I think may become the reader of her work that challenges her cos if the rest is like this, I think her and I have much to discuss Ms. Prose and I. Muahahaha.

Some guy comes to the job and is buying an assload of rare books today. He's chatting it up with one of the Rare Books people and I can't help but laugh at the convo.

Customer: I have arthritis and I'm 33 years old. I knew it was raining today cos I felt it in my bones.

RB Employee: Uh huh. (to me) Make sure you double bag the books or something okay?

Me: Uh huh.

Customer: I think I might be a lycan. Bit by something. A vampire maybe. Wouldn't that be cool? (proceeds to go on about being a lycan)

Me: Oh my Jesus.

Customer: I love your watch.

Me: Why thank you. (eyes narrow)

I finish the sale and my manager says, "I hate that guy. Fucking Ryan Adams." I play dumb and ask, "what, does he sing or something?"  Muahahaha. Bear in mind, I just know his name and nothing else only because it's similar to Bryan Adams who I love to death.  If I didn't know better he would've been written off as another trustafarian with a silver Amex buying rare books cos it's the 'in' thing now. Seersucker jackets, stringly unwashed hair and Urkel glasses and all.

On Monday the dad from Gilmore Girls came in. I knew it was him the moment I saw him. He was extremely polite and even eco-friendly by returning a plastic bag and using his briefcase. If only he hadn't strolled in with a GG cap on I probably wouldn't have caught on as quickly as I did.

Creepy Paul Giamatti came in again and I saw him finally. Not necessarily a good thing. Gave me chills all day. That guy is a creepster, I just know it.

And Jane Krakowski came in again as well. She's a tiny person but she's never rude. That's why I like her.


EDIT: I think I ran into Keenya from America's Next Top Model too.

Jennifer Jason Leigh came in again today. Her dog is precious. Her and I chatted about how sweet he was.

Sunday night Adrien Brody came in. At least I think it was.

And Zach Galifianakis was eeking by as I left work tonight.

Lucy Liu almost body checked me at the job last night. She's so tiny. And angry-looking.

Val Kilmer was in today. He is a dummy.

Tuesday, Benecio Del Toro bought a shitload of rare books.

That is all.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Weiss) came in. Scraggy and woolly mammoth-looking with the sideburn hair. Ugh.

I saw that dirty blond kid from Superbad. Y'all know who. He was setting in the back of a van with a skinny Asian kid. It was downtime during filming of some new movie. I care not which, cos it made my trek home treacherous. Celebs, film on sound stages! People gotta walk on the streets.

26th-Nov-2007 10:54 pm - That guy who wrote that book.

Orhan Pamuk came in last night. I forgot. He shipped some merch to Turkey. Very nice gentleman.

So I ran up that Sixth Sense kid today. He was really nice and adorable . . . you know for someone with a DUI.  That boy is kinda short.
