Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
by Chelsea Handler
Edition: Audio CD
Price: CDN$ 21.94
10 used & new from CDN$ 21.93

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously funny, Nov 23 2011
This is one funny lady. From her grade 3 prima donna days, to her stint in jail and beyond, Chelsea knows how to entertain. She's a comedian and doesn't seem to have many (if any) sacred cows, so if you have some issues that haven't been resolved yet, you might want to give this a miss. For the rest of us though, treat yourself to several hours of fun and give this audio-book a listen.

Last listened to;

Artie Lange: Too Fat To Fish, (honest, amusing)

Sarah Silverman: The Bedwetter... (lots of fun)

Tina Fey: Bossypants , (classy and funny)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to postmodernist thought., Feb 10 2011
Over the past few months I've been devouring books and lectures on modern philosophical thought and this book has by far been the broadest and most accessible for a neophyte such as myself. I first listened to the audio version of this book then bought the printed version for more concentrated study. Don't let the fact that this book was written to enlighten a christian audience on the subject of Postmodernism dissuade you from giving it a chance, only the introduction and last chapter even bring that to the readers attention, the rest of the book is pure presentation of the major thinkers ideas, written lucidly by an extremely knowledgable teacher. I doubt you'll find better value on this subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised there's no reviews for this gem., Jan 7 2011
This album is the one of biggest surprises I've experienced in music for quite a while. It has an air of innocence and lightness that makes it a perfect Christmas accompaniment. I have several albums of Christmas music, from classic to contemporary, they're all wonderful but this album is the only one that I'm asked about when it comes on. If I was a Doctor, I'd prescribe this album as a cure for a flagging Christmas spirit, really, it is that good. Now I have to temper my exuberance with the confession that I cut out a few of the non-music tracks on my iPod, but that's a personal preference for musical continuity. I hope you give this one a chance.
