i think this is a case of expectation -- if you're interesting to yourself, then talk about what is interesting to you. if she's not interested in talking about that, move onto something else that interests you. the tangents are great -- those are topics that interest you -- don't spend time not talking about what doesn't interest you.
with that said, remember that it's a conversation, not a monologue. show sincere interest in what she's talking about, too.
if she starts talking about her couch and what it looks like...maybe she wants you to come see it in person. kidding. but seriously, ask her where the couch came from, how is it possible she remembers all of that detail, questions around the very thing that you're spending your time talking about.
