I'm out on tour with Vinyl Cafe, playing exactly one song every night. I'm also adding some fake Clarence Thomas style licks to a pile of Christmas carols, for the betterment of the show.

After a book discussion with Alexes W and S, I'm rereading Swann's Way and following that with Myra Breckenridge. I watched Wedding Crashers last night.

I got my wisdom teeth out just a couple of weeks ago, and was too stoned and pained to really connect with my Toronto friends before I left to go on tour again. In particular, I miss Vanessa and Kevin.

Other than that, I've been thinking a great deal about drugs.

Oddly enough, I'd never heard of Proust before yesterday when I read his name in a Haruki Murakami book, and then here I am browsing the Final Fantasy boards and I see it again! Go figure. I looked it up on Amazon and it appears that this guy is the bomb. I'll have to check out Swann's Way. Thanks, Owen.

Greetings from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by the way. I guess most of you guys are from Canada.

uh, fun, fun, fun...

Right now I'm reading Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, and I've read Norwegian Wood as well. I really like Hard Boiled so far (I'm about 1/4 through), and Nowegian Wood was also really good, though it's not in his typical style of really bizzare plots and such.

Wow, just the other day i was reading about that book, i even copied a quote i really liked from it... it was: “Fairness is a concept that holds only in limited situations. Yet we want the concept to extend to everything, in and out of phase. From snails to hardware stores to married life. Maybe no one finds it, or even misses it, but fairness is like love. What s given has nothing to do with what we seek.” i am very curious to read the book, gotta get to it, hopefully on the holidays <3

Proust is very good. The first time I read him I called up my more literate best friend and said, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Murakami I don't like so much. A Wild Sheep Chase is the only book I've actually thrown away. I had 20 pages left and I threw it out, I hated it so much. But most people love him.

[kakeeman]

Cool, I'll have to check Swann's Way out then. After a long list of things, though; I still have to finish Hard Boiled Wonderland, read Paradise Lost (because it apparently rocks), devour the Chronicles of Narnia (which somehow slipped past my childhood reading frenzies), and work on whatever required reading comes up for school.

Not that anyone really cares. But hey, I don't get the chance to talk about books that often, so I take advantage when I do. ;D

Inanimate objects! Involuntary memory! Proust has me in all sorts of lovely tatters.

P.S. This hardly contributes to anything I'M SORRY.
