Eyes got watery as I was finishing 72 but that's because I was tired and finding it hard to concentrate. The horse's name was never. You think Pynchon has had a complicated relationship with his initials? I PREDICTED A JFK MENTION (but not a Malcolm X one!). Is Hitler gonna show up in this? It'd make sense, although it seems that Pynchon's more interested in the Allied powers. "...[H]awk, two" on p. 68 changed lives.

I don't really get what Pynchon is doing here yet. It's early, though. Um I don't really have too much to say, actually, but I've already started. Tyrone Slothrop is a chiller and a friend. Two cigarettes drooping from the mouth to look like fangs is tight, I'm gonna steal it. "'What?' - Richard M. Nixon" is funny because that's a meme with Joey B now. Complexity v. enTropy or Sloth. Hahaha. Do I have to buy a guide?

Started on the great feast of 7/11, which I think augurs well. Re-re-watched "One Battle After Another," and did the Leo in "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood" when they mentioned banana pancakes. Josh loves this book, and I love Josh, and this is galvanizing him starting Infinite Jest: I better finish this. So far, this is a better Pynchon work than the intro to the program for the 10th anniversary of the Daily Show.
