Julie and Julia--Finished at Last!

What a great recommendation! This was from one of Della's earlier posts and it is really enjoyable. It took me a while to read, because I read it one chapter per day...sorta blog style. I thought I would share what Julie Powell had to say about blogging:

"When we blog about our weight-loss problems and our knitting and our opinion of the president's IQ level, we do it on the blithe assumption that someone gives a shit -- even though there's a guy stuck in Baghdad who blogs, and a Washington DC staff assistant who gets paid by Republican appointees for sex who blogs, and our own jottings must all be dreadfully dull by comparison. Nowadays anyone with a crap laptop and Internet access can sound their barbaric yawp, whatever it may be. But the surprise is that for every person who's got something to say, it seems there are at least a few people who are interested. Some of them aren't even related."

I thought that last part was funny considering that I'm related to most everyone who reads this blog. Oh, and if you can't tell from that paragraph--beware Republicans. This may not be your book. Otherwise, enjoy! Thanks Della.
