Go to the New Yorker fiction podcast on iTunes and get the episode "Sign Language"! I have been more than enamoured by this story and its narration since listening to it a while back, and am now ready to openly declare my undying love and commitment to this. (I am too lazy to post a link.)

Going to my sister's concert at vch now! Hope it'll be worth the hours of torment that I've endured from her practising at home.
