OH, but you have to read Johnny's mom's letters! Also, what is "the nonsense"? Where are other folks? I know Mike has yet to start and probably won't. Maureen has probably already finished the book. Briggs?

This is some cool advice! I have been dragging my heels on listing things online. Would so much rather deal with someone in person!

Ugh, reading on the plane mid-morning, a time when everything is usually fine in the world and not terrifying, and getting full-on body shivers. Had the first disorienting meandering path on pg 59: lengthy footnote to exhibit to appendix. I think …

Also, Zampanó uses the word enormity as a synonym of enormousness on page 46 and so I do not trust him. But I am peevish.
-
On Major's point about its not being truly rigorous technical writing: is that supposed to be obvious to the reader? I mean, it's clear that Johnny Truant is a potentially unreliable narrator (inserting his own words into zampanó's text just so he c…

I think my frustrated experiences with academic writing were with art theory writings that were written in deep philosophy speak and could be easily summed in plain English after hours of tearing your hair out. But maybe the summary lost some nuance…
-
Any kind of discussion, whether academic or abstract/intuitive I think will be fun. It's just nice to know that other people are in it with you. @moboton HI! You should inundate us with photos of your post-its. I am keeping the vocab list. Not 40 …

Major: you must join us! We can mellow it out for everyone's sake.
-
It's a lot of pages. We could reduce the pages per week and finish in December if people felt that. I buy so much at Powells! But mostly because it is a block from my office, so it's convenient.

Weird! Mike tried to buy our copies at Broadway Books because it's closest to us, but they didn't have it, so he bought them at Barnes & Noble in the mall. I've bought a few books at Broadway, but usually they don't have what I want.
-
Coooool! I was about to say that only dog owners have committed to reading with us, which is weird, but now that's not true.

Still eating chips.

When that almond nog coming?!
-
What a good boy, I think he's pretty ok! I'm pumped that the writers are coming from Transparent, I liked that show and some of the other writers they were talking to earlier were not so great. Portland movie premiere! In like two years probably.
-
Let's go! I drank two in one sitting when we went last year, then clutched my stomach in joyful agony.

I love hot chocolate from machines mixed with burnt coffee. Reminds me of skiing.
-
Very very not true about chocolate! I am making hot chocolate RIGHT NOW and it is going to be amazing. Even bad hot chocolate is amazing.

12 floor pillows available at the door for cheap, or so it says on FB
-
Going tonight! Fun!
-
Or use the drill! That's what I'm going to do I think.

I can attest that Dale probably listens to Skrillex music way beyond the level that causes hearing damage. But I am a low-level no fun fancy who stuffs TP in my ears at the movie theater.
-
Will this week EVER END?!
-
I'll be ready after this weekend is over: Chip Party Saturday night and small biz launch party Sunday afternoon! Ack. Ugh. Dreaming of Monday.
-
I can try to have readings ready by Friday. It's a busy week though! Send help.
-
Reading is good for you
-
Dale Cooper bought two fresh copies of House of Leaves yesterday! I'm going to split up the book into readings by next week. so far we've got: Dale Mike Major B Floss my best friend from high school who isn't on uhx Diane reading the cliffs notes
-
Armagnac is maybe my favorite thing about fall. Putting it in nog. Putting it in hot cider. Sipping it by the fire.
-
I'd do it again! Maybe tonight.
-
I've been brutal about minimizing stuff lately. Partly because the apartment is too big and in three years my life has expanded to fill it but I won't always be there and don't want a big place, and partly because I want to not want and I want out o…

UGH.
