Amazon thinks I need a lot of help

It seems like a bunch of people have been breaking up lately. (There must be something going around.) A coworker who just got dumped heard about my recent breakup and insisted I pick up It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken, a book by the author of He's Just Not That Into You. I've never been one to read self-help or relationship books, but I figured it couldn't hurt. I downloaded it on my Kindle and read the whole thing in one evening. The book was actually pretty funny in parts, and it was also really interesting to read about women who hadn't been able to move on after a breakup or who had done completely crazy things to try to win back or get revenge on the people who broke their hearts. As depressing as my last couple of post have been, at least I can take comfort in the fact that I'm not that far gone.

As a result of this recent book purchase, Amazon.com has been recommending the most hilarious titles. Things like Why Men Love Bitches, Why Men Marry Bitches (by the way, who would have thought that was a series?), You Lost Him at Hello, The MANual, Man Magnet, and Don't Call That Man! Amazon apparently thinks I am a lonely woman on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Fear not, Amazon, I'm just someone who's a little down and out.

One of the book's recommendations to help you feel better is that you should dress up and go out knowing you look great. I admit I've been in a "I'd wear my pajamas to work if I could" mood, so I was determined to pick something amazing to wear to the office today. Of course, then I woke up late this morning and thought, screw it. But hey, there's always next week.
