My Fair Lazy
My Fair Lazy: One Reality Television Addict's Attempt to Discover If Not Being A Dumb Ass Is t he New Black; Or, A Culture-Up Manifesto | Jen Lancaster
8 posts | 22 read | 7 to read
Readers have followed Jen Lancaster through job loss, sucky city living, weight loss attempts, and 1980s nostalgia. Now Jen chronicles her efforts to achieve cultural enlightenment, with some hilarious missteps and genuine moments of inspiration along the way. And she does so by any means necessary: reading canonical literature, viewing classic films, attending the opera, researching artisan cheeses, and even enrolling in etiquette classes to improve her social graces. In Jen's corner is a crack team of experts, including Page Six socialites, gourmet chefs, an opera aficionado, and a master sommelier. She may discover that well-regarded, high-priced stinky cheese tastes exactly as bad as it smells, and that her love for Kraft American Singles is forever. But one thing's for certain: Eliza Doolittle's got nothing on Jen Lancaster-and failure is an option.

I‘m not dead. I have been reading for the #JoysofJune #readathon, but have been doing some blog writing and still working through that visual novel. So I‘m behind.

mcipher Maybe you need a more chill yoga class?! 😆 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @mcipher Yoga napping would be great! 5y
mcipher You could try yoga nidra! It‘s literally a yoga nap. 🧘‍♀️ 😴 5y

The Lazy Edition
📚 long hold any comment and use the Reply option. Automatically tags someone with out the pesky typing.

📚 Emojis are your friend. Interaction for the texting impaired (that would be me.)

📚 Honestly commenting and liking other posts is a lot less work than posting yourself.

And that's about all I got. 😁

Ashley_Nicoletto You can also edit your comments by long holding one! This took me FOREVER to learn. 😂😂😂😂 7y
Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto OMG REALLY? 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Yes! Just long hold on your own comment. It should load a second page when you click on it of comments and then just long hold yours. There's an edit and a delete button. 7y

Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto well durn. I can't seem to make it work. Is that on the android app? 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Good tips! 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Ahhh. I have an iPhone. I have to click the comments. It then loads a page of only comments. Then long hold on mine and when I let up it gives me those options. Darrnnnn. I imagine there might be a way to do it on android but I don't know what it'd be. 7y
Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto 😢 aw man. When I'm on my iPad I'll check it out. There are some aspects of the android app that could be improved. (edited) 7y
eanderson Great advice! 🤗 7y
Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto I just shook my phone and sent some feedback. I wonder if that should be a tip. 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 Haha! I didn't know there was a reply option! Thank you 😊 good advice! 7y
Sace @ForeverNerdy I think I found it on accident. 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Good idea! Or maybe they know how it works and I don't. 😂😂😂 Definitely should be an android option. 7y
Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto maybe I'll get lucky and someone will know. I need to be able to edit my comment. I use the double space bar for a period and I always hot the letter b and send before I notice b 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto LOL. I also send the letter B often. My boyfriend one time asked if it meant anything and maybe he was just missing the message. 7y
Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto well I'm glad I'm not alone! 7y
robinb Wow....had no idea about the long hold options....thank you! 7y
RaimeyGallant The lazy edition blew my mind! How had I not figured that out yet?! Wait, I'm going to try it. 7y
RaimeyGallant @robinb Testing out the long hold. This is amazing! 7y
Sace @RaimeyGallant lol. It's probably my favorite Litsy trick. 7y
robinb ❤️❤️❤️❤️ shortcuts!!! 7y
Sace @robinb I'm always looking for them. 7y
Bookzombie @RestlessFickleBookSlut @Ashley_Nicoletto I hit the b on text messages all the time. 😂😂 7y
Sace @Bookzombie this is awesome. Well at least I know that the Littens probably know exactly what the b is. 7y
Sace @Ashley_Nicoletto I'm on my iPad now. And by gum I can edit! Why can't this happen with android? I'm on my phone way more than my iPad! (edited) 7y
kspenmoll @Ashley_Nicoletto Never knew about long hold! This is great! Thanks- my first try! @RestlessFickleBookSlut 👏 (edited) 7y
tpixie @RestlessFickleBookSlut the photos are easier to see on the iPad though. I always use my phone too. But then I have to take a screenshot so I can blow the picture up to see some things!! Lol 😝 maybe I'm showing my age! 7y
Sace @tpixie now that is true. 7y
readinginthedark You're a genius! I didn't even know about the long hold to reply thing! 7y
LauraBrook I had no idea about the long hold thing either! Amazing! 7y
Karkar Long hold is awesomeness!! 7y
Sace @readinginthedark it can't be genius. I'm sure I discovered it while doing something stupid. 😁 7y
Sace @LauraBrook glad I could help! 7y
Sace @Karkar it really is! 7y
Avanders Magic sauce. 7y
Bks4Wrms Lazy Edition, lol! 😂 I love your third tip! 7y
batsy @RestlessFickleBookSlut @Ashley_Nicoletto Oh yes, this would be so useful on the Android. I'm always pressing send too fast before completing my comment and going back and deleting and reposting 😁 7y

Mehso-so

Finished 2 books last night! My Fair Lazy was okay - I laughed out loud a few times, but I was mostly just stunned (and sometimes a little sickened) at how willfully uninterested in things she was. Gross. A Night to Surrender - been reading this since November (honestly) so I powered through. It was fine, the MCs were ok but I didn't connect with them that much. It was so-so too. I'll read more in the series, though, I like the Cove!

saresmoore And now it's time for something truly wonderful! 7y
LauraBrook @saresmoore From your lips... 🤞🏼 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes...definitely time for an epic read! 7y
LauraBrook @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It really is. I'm getting into Jo Brand's second memoir, and it'll be good but not outstanding. Trying to search my brain for a reliably excellent author/series I could catch up on. Hmmm. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @LauraBrook Have you ever tried Gail Carriger, I found her Pastoral Protectorate series fun, and a quick escapist read. It's romance, but set in a steampunky Victorian period, with werewolves and Vampires as citizens. Plus she's a lady who knows her own mind and is a bit ahead of her time in these books. 7y

Today's plans! I'd like to finish at least one of the books I've been "currently reading" for the last month or two, and get through most of Plaid and Plagiarism before it's due tomorrow. Plus maybe some sorting/decluttering and a nap. Yay for introvert days! And Happy Fourth to all my American Littens!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks That sounds great!!! I'm jealous!! 7y
LeahBergen Perfect!! 7y
Zelma I love introvert days! Having one today too. 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @LauraBrook every day I'm off it flies by!!!! 7y
EvieBee I love those days too! 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Those are the best days! I'm overdue for one of those myself. 7y

DO NOT use a Scribd credit on the audio of this book, the tracks are out of order. I got the credits halfway through the book. Aside from that, this is classic Jen and if you like her, you'll like this.
