On the Sopranos (my latest DVD obsession) everyone seems to have a nickname. Beansie, Paulie, Pussy — every episode is a new adventure in creativity.

I want a nickname too.

I do have one of sorts — my poker nickname is Ladyfingers. My poker pal C. christened me with this name and it’s kinda cute.

But I need something shorter for everyday use. People are not supposed to dream up their own nicknames — that’s just weird — so I can’t just make one up.

Just so you know, I’d like something cute but also ironic — I’m sure someone will come up with something fun.

So I’ve been busy…but I’m back and ready barrage you, my three readers, with the minutiae of my life.

1. First some good news: a woman found my purse in her backyard. I got back my glasses, keys and other assorted things. No wallet, of course, and my Palm Pilot and cell phone are no doubt in a pawn shop. But I was very very happy nonetheless.
2. I just started watching the Sopranos and I’m a bit obsessed.
3. I haven’t got a lock for my purse yet but I’m still thinking about it.
4. My book club starts meeting again next week. To date (three years, people) I have read every single book. I’ve read them all no matter that in some cases I would have rather spent the evenings poking spaghetti in my eyes. But I’m having trouble this time. I fear one of the recent selections may be my downfall. I don’t want this to happen and I feel oddly like I did in a certain second year English class I took many moons ago.
