Tomorrow's Another Day

Today is Sunday. I'm spending my day today relaxing as hard as possible in preparation for my inevitably non relaxing day tomorrow. I have an audition tomorrow for yet another cell phone company. They're predicting rain, and my audition is conveniently timed at 5:45pm= rush hour in the pouring rain... Don't feel too sorry for me. I just bought a new audio book! Okay, my mother just bought me a new audio book. I'm listening to, "Middlesex," by Jeffrey Eugenides. It's a fascinating memoire about a transgendered person born in the 50's. He/she's one of the most famous and studied transgendered people ever. So far, so good. The best part about this book on tape, is that it's 21hrs long!!!! Okay, I know that sounds boring, but when you spend as much time in the car as I do, you need the company. I have to say that audio books are my best friends when I'm on the road. Sometimes music is too much and all you really want is the sound of another person's voice. I always loved being read to when I was little, maybe this is just an extension of that. The last audio book I listened to was "Shutter Island," by Dennis Lehane. It was awesome, especially on rainy days. Here's hoping this new one is as good. My product of the day today is the audio book "Shutter Island," by Dennis Lehane. I didn't see the movie, but this book is as frightening as it is confusing. The narration is brilliant. Not only does this narrator play each male character with differentiating precision, but he narrates the female voices with subtlety and class. A spoon full of humor helps the crazy go down in this psychological thriller that totally keeps you guessing. I seriously hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
