Cafe Study Date
Gabrielle has disappeared on me to lounge singley on the black pleather loveseat in the back, while I decide to stay put at the table that we've crammed wtih laptops, smuggled ziploc bags of veggie chips, and a pricely bought plate of Today's Coffee House Special: housemade raspberry chiffon cake.
By August's close, she'll be heading for an East Coast post and Hello, if you keep comparing me to Kermit the Ribbit, who do you suppose is going to respond to long distance calls about that the peeps around you being all partnered to Professor Prince Charming (each harem consort sporting 100 precious tadpoles) and H-to-the-N-O you don't feel like lighting incense at your neighborhood temple. Come to think of it, it was only yesterday that you revealed a longterm Catholic affiliation, and didn't yer mom just ship you a basket of Easter treats over school break. I happen to prefer dark chocolate nibs over milk kisses myself. Mmm...
Ahem. For the record, soon after Phoney Girlfriend blotted her Research-1 contract we decided to eat out at an Asian fusion restaurant where I drank excess sake and inaugurated my first epic hangover in, like, decades. Sure I'll check out your guestroom asap, Angel Face, despite the fact that your pet name for me sucks ass royally.

D.T MAX 54 LETTER FROM AUSTIN
Final Destination, The A-list archive: Why do the archives of so many great writers end up in Texas?
The subtitle's rhetorical drivel, r$ight?
JUNOT DIAZ 74 FICTION
"Wildwood"
An examination of the ageless, priceless (yes, no?) MOTHER-DAUGHTER SUBJECT from none other than the mastermind behind The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. My personal favorite in the bunch.
EDWIDGE DANTICAT 96 PERSONAL HISTORY
Marie Micheline, a family in Haiti
Danticat provides a nostalgic (using the adjective with regard to dangerous Noble Savage fantasies) tribute to her transatlantic origins.
[F]or the first time I hadn't finished my homework. I gave Marie Micheline the note, thinking that she'd go easier on me than Oncle Joseph or Tante Denise. The next morning, when she got to the school, Marie Micheline took my very slim and prim teacher, Ms. Sanon, aside, and under an almond tree in a c orner of the bustling recess yard, whispered in her ear for five minutes.
"What did you tell her?" I asked Marie Micheline as she walked me back to class with a broad smile on her face...
ELIZABETH KOLBERT 130 BOOKS
Two biographies of Hillary Clinton
Carl Bernstein's bio, Woman in Charge, challenges the early foundations of HC's reformist agenda. Kolbert herself states that over the years, the senator's "unromantic [How about "glamazon, micromanaged"?]..hair styles alone have probably generated more headlines than most congressmen". Double rats, after reading Bernstein's article I now wish I caught the climate journalist's impassioned (or 'convincingly peeved', as reported by a classmate) Town Hall speech on global warming.
