This may belong in GQ but I like you guys better.
This weekend the radio program “This American Life” on NPR had a story called the “100% Perfect Girl” Which I thought was really well written. Unfortunatly I can’t find on their website who the author was or a copy of the story.

Thank you so very very much…Thats it.
I thought it was beautiful too. Any idea what book I could find it in or where on line? I’d love to give it to my SO tonight cause it reminds me a lot of her…

Yes Lex Ursa does kick arse.
And I recommend this story to anyone that gets a chance. It’s only 3 pages and it is so engaging and sweet, it tugs at my heart strings and thats not too easy!

Haruki Murakami’s stuff is great-- try his novels. “A Wild Sheep Chase” is very good-- it’s the one that sticks out in my mind the most.
