Awesome reveals. I knew about your Chandler love as we talked about this before and I too love Chandler. Sergio Leone FTW
Keep being the cool dude you are.

Maybe 10 should really be that my humor is incredibly self-deprecating. Looking back through this, the tone could be mistaken for someone who hates themselves. I just don't like talking myself up, so I add in a healthy does of cutting myself down.
Regarding ADHD, I was diagnosed with ADD in my youth and I just find that I can deal with it by making sure I write everything on a notepad I carry with me. When I get distracted and want to return I look at it and the day's priorities I wrote down. I find it extremely difficult to sit down and read a book - I can do audiobooks endlessly but my eyes wander when looking at printed word.
Yeah, I'm definitely going back and rereading The Maltese Falcon TONIGHT. I was looking for something to read, and you reminded me how fucking awesome that book is.
@Char,
I know! I read that last year and was instantly in love with it. Sam Spade is the biggest prick on the planet. I loved how they just kept layering it on. He hates his partner. The you find out that he's sleeping with his partner's wife. Then when he gets offed, Spade sends his assistant to give her the bad news just because he didn't want to deal with it.
At that point, I was just in love with that book. To create a protagonist that is just that much of a heel right off of the bat, well that's so ballsy. And Hammett's humor is so brilliant.
If you haven't read the Thin Man, I highly recommend doing so soon. That book is a gem. A private detective married a rich gal, and quits the business. They're spending the holidays in a hotel in New York. There is like one scene in the book where they're not drinking. Their relationship is so adorable. They're constantly picking at each other affectionately. It's so funny. Then he gets roped into a case, but that's not important. It's really the characters that make that book win.
