It's not a typo. I'm here again. I could live here, I think. It really is beautiful, and it seems so relaxed and whatnot, and everyone I've met has been rather friendly and accomodating but that's probably more due to the fact that I'm constantly a customer and not just a regular person.
I wanted to put up this list before I forgot to let you all follow along with my summer reading. Ah ... summer reading:
(1) Franny & Zooey by J.D. Salinger
(2) Stupid White Men by Michael Moore
(3) Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
(4) Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey
(5) Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
(6) Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
(7) 9/11 by Noam Chomsky
I'm not in any mad dash to read so many pages this year, but I do hope that I can keep up my rough "one book a week" policy that I've got going on right now. All of them were pretty good, though I had a bit of trouble getting through Tender is the Night. I have trouble relating to books about decadance, I think. I just don't understand it and get confused by it. I finished off the last 150 pages of Catch 22 today on the plane from Chicago to San Francisco and downed that 9/11 piece on the plane from San Fran to Medford. That's right. I was a reading machine today. I've had Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment tucked safely away in my suitcase for the past three weeks, but I keep finding excuses not to start it. Like today, for example, I finished the first book and needed another one immediately, hence the 9/11 purchase at the bookstore in the San Fran airport. Now, though, there is no excuse. Must read Crime and Punishment. I don't know the exact reason, but I think the cover makes me uncomfortable and not willing to try it. That or I'm just a big, fat pussbag with no spine and no motivation, too.
Another word of advice to all of you - never crack your screen on your laptop, especially if it's an LCD display. I'm shit up a creek without a paddle, kiddies. Pretty soon I'm going to have to shell out a phat wad of cash to get this damn thing fixed. Either that or just buy a new computer, both positions that I can't afford at the moment, or any foreseeable moment in the future. I really took for granted the amount of bank I was making back in the day. All that piled up credit card debt is starting to get to me. Big time. Fuck the establishment. I doubt they'd track me down if I deserted to Canada. Can you sign a "conscientious objector" card and refuse to pay your debts?
