Thomas Sutpen manifested a complete Southern manor with operational plantation on 12+ miles of land basically by sheer force of will, meanwhile I just spent the morning struggling to lay about 10 square feet of slide-together laminate flooring planks.

Ok Faulkner, you're quite the writer and I'm very impressed by your torrential stream of consciousness techniques and all, but this next-to-last chapter runs a bit long, dontcha think?

You know you're cool when you get a 4 day weekend and your big excitement is "Oh boy I can finish that Faulkner book!"

Outraged to be learning only now that they released a corrected text in 1986*, closer to Faulkner's original manuscript and allegedly truer to his voice?? And here I am wasting time on this trash from '64.
*That must be where all the students are taking notes, come to think.

Concerned at the lack of student markups in this library copy. So far there's been just one sentence underlined and a single note in the margin, and it's in French for whatever reason. Don't the kids have to read this in school anymore?

I spent a good chunk of yesterday night trying to mount an over-the-range microwave. Don't feel too bad, Tom.

My rule for repairs is I give at least one good solid try to fix things myself, then I can call the pros with a clean conscience.
We deserve credit for our efforts, no matter how futile. :)
