Suffers from the same “modern” tone as Girlfriend… Yes, I know. Get used to it already. This is his style.
Took me two tries to get through it all. It didn’t quite captivate me the way Girlfriend in a Coma did, but it didn’t suck.
What bothers me is that his characters are so out there. I can’t really relate to any of them. I’m not sure if he’s trying to use the personality flaws of his characters to paint a picture of what happens to society, or if he’s just telling a story. I do have to say Coupland’s sense of humor is both smart and funny. There’s nothing worse than an insultingly condescending story. (See: Ishmael.)

The weather started getting rough,
the large needles were clumsy.
If not for the courage of the fearless knitter,
The scarf would be ugly.
The scarf would be ugly.
The directions said Two Hour Scarf… So far it’s been fourish hours and I’m maybe 2/3 done. I have to say the scarf is beautiful, but it’s taking me way longer than it should.
