Once I finish sadly, porn (by malc’s bday) my plan is to complete all my unfinished reading from this year. got to a sort of boring point here (“none of its boring, you’re not a real southerner!”) and then became totally infatuated with Teach such that everything else fell away, but trust that I’m on it because I told porter I’d lend him my copy next time I see him. Accountability in action.

At the devil’s number, approximately — it’s all about balancing ledgers. We know from the blog that Teach is obsessed with True Detective, wherein Rust Cohle (whom I think Teach misunderstands wildly, but that’s another post) carries a big black ledger through swampland such that his peers call him the tax man. Ledgers ledgers ledgers. Love is: not caring about balancing the ledger. Shit, man. Fuck.

Currently on page 600 of 1112, and will finish this by year's end if it kills me -- Teach's analysis of Rebecca is exceedingly interesting if not spot on, though his take on Sophocles is perhaps the opposite. I think I'm deeply in love with him. Infinite Jest for total gooners.

Re-upping my determination to finish this because I saw a guy dressed as Raoul Duke making out with a woman dressed as mick fleetwood last night and thought it was the coolest thing ever

Don’t know if this is actually super applicable in every sense, but some is spot on. “No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep swallowing.”
