having finished we are water in less than a week, i’m now in the middle of bossypants by tina fey. i would insert a funny quote here, but then i’d have to put whole chapters in here because her anecdotal storytelling is all about context, followed by the snappy one-liner that you will not really laugh at without the context. trust me, i know this from experience. i sat guffawing on the sofa last night and every time i would burst out laughing, m would ask me what was so funny. i’d hem and haw, try to summarize and then hit her with the funny one-liner. what i got in response was a blank stare followed by her return to her iphone game. see? context is everything.

now, i am sitting in a hospital cafeteria snickering at my iphone as i continue with this whole context/one-liner formula for private entertainment and pretty sure i look amused and amusing. thankfully, no one is asking me what is so funny – blank stares and rejection from the one i love the most is about all i can handle.
