"Matters" follow-up

Reading Shopgirl makes me feel enclosed and depressed (solid)*, but listening to a Diablo Cody** interview causes me to internalize and echo her effervescent voracity for pop culture observation (gas). Eating a fresh meal -- one that Sara’s beloved Michael Pollan would greatly approve – makes me feel easy-going and content (liquid). Get it?

*Doesn’t mean I don’t like it. The character development happens to yield those feelings. And art that yields any type of emotion is good.

**other sidenote: my new best friend Brian-from-the-Philadelphia-free-library is ordering “the Philadelphia Community” (read: me) 5 copies of Candy Girl. Grab ‘em!
