disclaimer: i don't mean to sound like an ingrate, on the contrary it's utterly sweet of you dafa to buy me a book, no occasion required. and i absolutely love you for it.

but it just dawned on me the reason i stopped reading chic lit.
i'm not saying that it's not entertaining, titillating even. at saturation point though chic lit only manages to elicit ennui.

chasing harry winston was a good distraction while it lasted.

everytime i drink from a water fountain i can help but think of Great Expectations.
the scene where Pip gets ambushed by that Paltrow cougar. that was a decade ago and i still can't get his bewildered expression outta my head.
