(pg. 10) School day goes on, Josh gets home to read Larry’s sermon. Josh’s stepdad comes up with several reasons as to who Larry might be. Larry finds out that he has to have dinner at his stepdad’s girlfriend’s house (doesn’t like her). Prints out Larry’s latest sermon. (pg. 11-12) Rants on about how ads are everywhere. (pg. 12-13).

(pg. 17-19) We learn that Larry posts pictures of his possessions on the web. He has 75. (pg. 20-22) Beth says she only likes Todd because he’s cool (pg. 22-23) Josh goes tom counseling with flip off Philis but pretty much ignores her (pg. 22-25) He later goes to the makeup counter at Bloomingdale’s where he goes to talk to his Mom. He thinks he has been wasting his life. Mom answers by saying she’ll help him through an old lady (pg. 26-29). Katherine likes Humpty Dumpty. She makes lasagna for dinner (Josh doesn’t eat meat) (pg. 31-33). When they leave Josh catches Beth and she tells him that she dumped Todd. Josh gives Beth a gift basket of lotion (pg.34).
