But her struggles with singlehood struck a chord. But I have some pretty mixed feelings about it and I'm struggling to figure out how to articulate them. Through Armstrong's pen, we learn exactly how a couple of neurotic comics hijacked "nothingness" once the exclusive domain of Buddhist monks and their serene, mountaintop "monk-spas" and transported Seinfeldia How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything 1st edition into every TV set in America.

Fred Stoller works as an actor in Hollywood, playing an assortment of deliverymen, clerks, and other oddball schnooks. The rest of the time he wanders the streets researching his pet book project, “Restaurants You Don’t Feel Self-Conscious Eating Alone At.” As the title suggests, he lives a relatively isolated life punctuated by the occasional hellish date. He does, however, have a long distance bond with his old friend from the stand-up comedy scene back East, Vinnie D’Angelo, who these days hardly ever leaves his rent-free basement apartment. Fred calls Vinnie whenever he has an odd anecdote to relate about some dumb thing he overheard a lady say at the post office or how the owner of a video store refused to wish him a “Happy Holiday” because Fred was renting a porno on Christmas. Vinnie howls with delight, living vicariously through Fred’s stories. What to anyone else would seem mundane, for Vinnie are great adventures. In fact, he has all of Fred’s calls on tape, because since 1984 Vinnie has never thrown out an answering machine message. He longs to one-day sort through the box and listen to some of the classics. The tapes reveal a quirky, symbiotic relationship where Fred provides Vinnie with a window to the outside world, while Vinnie is the adoring parent Fred never had.
