Today, I finished Dry. The end was incredible. The last three or four chapters are amazing. Of course, it ends happily, but more happily than you could imagine. I can definitely see why he’s a best seller author now (Augusten Burroughs). I’ll probably read his other bestseller Running with Scissors eventually.¬†Dry was a lot like The Catcher in the Rye in that the book just gets worse and worse and more and more downhill until he’s at rock bottom, if not, past it… and then in almost no time everything has shot way up.

Dad, you’d probably love his books. He’s in advertising and he works for an advertising agency in New York. He’s written a¬†couple of books about it such as Magical Thinking and Sellevision that you’d probably like.

What a great song. I was playing it and made my own little version of it and it’s really fun to play. I recorded it so I could hear how it sounded with a little back-up vocals. It turned out pretty neat. It’s kind of a sloppy recording so forgive me!

I should be able to finish Dry tomorrow at the rate I’m reading. I have about 130 pages to go. I could finish it today if I wanted. I might, but it’s not very likely.

I recorded Behind Her Eyes in the version in which I am able to sing and play at the same time. I put it up on here if you didn’t notice. I also continued after what used to be the end. I hope you guys enjoy.

I’m about half-way finished with Dry. The guy is gay… which I don’t have a problem, but every once in a while he has a graphic flashback and it makes me feel uncomfortable reading those. Also, he’ll check a guy out every once in a while in it which is a little awkward, but, otherwise, it’s good so far. He just got out of rehab and he’s going to daily AA meetings, but I’m only half-way finished with it, so I’m guess that he’s going to get in a little trouble here soon.

E-mail me or leave comments regarding the song.
