Our Love Feels Like Being Enveloped in Pudding

About a week ago, at work, Aubri saw the man she "fully intended on marrying".

Don't despair hopeful suitors, the list of men she "fully intends" on marrying is ridiculously long and with no irony includes Brian Posehn. So chances are you still have a shot.

The newest edition to the list was staring at her from the author picture on the back of his newly released memoir Everything Is Wrong With Me.



That's the front, merkin. We aren't pedophiles.

To check out a current photo of Jason Mulgrew, you will have to pick up his book (literally). You could also check out his blog. Bonus: from his blog there's a shameless link to his People Magazine nomination as one of the 50 most eligible bachelors of 2005. So not only is he a hi-larious writer, but he can also stretch the glory of a month on the newsstand into 5 years online.

If you're like us, and use your days off to lay in bed staring out the window thinking, Damn it's a beautiful day, I'm glad I'm off, this is the perfect book to curl up with.

If you're like us in that you read books in 2- 5 minute increments while using the bathroom, this book is also for you.

If you're nothing like us, well, then we feel pretty sorry for you. Because we are awesome.

But this is about Jason. His memoir features stories of growing up Irish Catholic in Philly. Littered with self deprecation, there is no way you could read this book and not finish it feeling better about life. You will find a kinship in the embarrassing childhood club and feel a little less lonely in this big big world. Or you will maliciously laugh at his nerdy misfortunes (dick).

Either way, buy the book. That's an official MNOP(rah) book club recommendation.


*In light of a recent decision to invite Jason Mulgrew to read our blog, we would like to state we would love his book regardless of how he feels about us. We're used to unrequited love. We also have a lot of booze that needs drinkin'. Just Saying.
