failure memoir

 when i was looking online for more books in he 'lyle crocodile' series i found another book of interest. i entered 'funny lyle' on e-bay and got a 'book of failures' by amy lyle, a 'funny memoir'. as a comic this one interests me, so it is going on my list. there are nine in the crocodile series, for the five i don't have yet it was surprising how they seemed to be more available and cheaper at e-bay than amazon. i will not order them all at once, as i usually just place 1-2 orders per week on these sites. with amazon i often use gift cards. at work i had to say it is way easier to get some letters out the door same-day when i don't have to print them. and if they arrive early enough in the day, on friday they were near the end of the day so i let them roll over to the next day. my boss was copied on the thread, and this led to them arriving well before midday. in the evening i performed at an open-mic, first in the lineup as most people don't want to go first. notable was the story about walking past a gun shop. as i was leaving the venue the jukebox was playing a taylor swift song from the new album, 'anti-hero'. during the show there was a ukulele player from pittsburgh, who performed 'come on eileen'. later on i went on a walk and found 3 dollars 66 cents. i made another visit to the liquor store near my home and got a can of hamm's, and a can of michelob, from the discount cart so now 6 beers are waiting. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the friends speak in klingon related to co-habitation, penny is moving out leonard's stuff. it was followed by the one where sheldon tries to bond with kripke and they go rock climbing.
