Product Description
THE EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HORIZONTAL LIFE


When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power -- vodka. You would too if you found out that your boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo or if you had to pretend to be honeymooning with your father in order to upgrade to first class. Welcome to Chelsea's world -- a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.

In this hilarious, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she's convincing her third-grade class that she has been tapped to play Goldie Hawn's daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - hilarious
This book is amazing. Her antidotes are so outrageous and funny. It is a really good way to juxtapose a stressful life by reading a few pages.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Kathy Griffin on ludes
I almost didn't buy this book because The New York Times review mentioned Kathy Griffin. "The everywoman spirit of Kathy Griffin" is what's quoted on Amazon but I remember the wording slightly differently. Rest assured Chelsea Handler is nothing like Kathy Griffin. Or Sarah Silverman. Or Tina Fey. It's like the NYT tried to just drop in every comedy it girl it could think of. Get a thesaurus. Of people.

Chelsea is a comedian and her essays don't scuttle even as close to the thought-provoking tree as, say, David Sedaris. I have to admit my joy may have been related to so many recent skull-liquifying experiences with "humor" books. This one is funny. She has a schtick and you have to appreciate the vapid whore persona or you just won't get anything from it. But then why would you buy a book called Are You There, Vodka anyway?



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I HEART CHELSEA!
this is honestly the funniest book i have ever read. i was at home by myself laughing histerically! i have even bought a couple for gifts. i absolutely LOVED it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Very Funny Book
I have to say that this was probably the funniest book I've ever read. I could not put it down. It was hilarious! Chelsea Handler is so funny.

A must buy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Laugh Out Loud Funny...
So, I'm a huge fan of Chelsea Handler and this book is clearly why....

Chelsea is amazing and laugh out loud funny... I don't often laugh out loud while reading, sometimes a little chuckle or giggle comes out, but with this one, I was almost crying I was laughing so hard...

She is very relatable; you laugh at her because you've seen yourself with your own friends in the situations she gets herself in ..

I suggest reading My Horizontal Life by her first, then this one. It's not necessary, but recommended!

Oh yea... and this book probably takes about 2 hours to read, once you start reading it, it's hard to put it down. it is the same with her other book...

This year has seen several young companies--including Orbius--offering to harness the power of social networking for business.

The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders. While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic. But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.

Virgin America formally launches: Last week, Virgin America offered free Wi-Fi on its single Internet-equipped aircraft, My Other Ride's a Spaceship. Today, the service goes commercial ($10 for flights 3 hours or shorter; $13 for longer flights), and the rollout to other planes begins. Virgin has a special URL--http://wifitracker.virginamerica.com/--that takes you to a tracking page showing which flights in progress have Wi-Fi, but they don't yet tell you how to determine whether a given flight you'll be on will offer the service. With 24 planes and a plan to add service one per week, that shouldn't be a problem for long.

Heathrow Airport Coach Link adds Internet service: Icomera, a leading transportation Wi-Fi firm, has added free Wi-Fi to FirstGroup's RailAir coach service that connects Heathrow Airport with Reading in England. RailAir runs every 20 minutes for a 50-minute route. FirstGroup handles 3 million passengers a day across all its routes, which makes it a plum market for future expansion.

Awareness Technologies adds Wi-Fi positioning for laptop recovery: Awareness is the latest firm to partner with Skyhook Wireless to use Wi-Fi positioning to its products, in this case Laptop Cop, software designed to aid in recovery. The software starts at $50 for a 1-year license, with discounts for quantity.


Climate change is hampering the long-term recovery of rivers from the effects of acid rain, with wet weather offsetting improvements, according to a new study.
