This time, Meimi brought joy by doing a layout of Isumi Shinichirou and Waya Yoshitaka, of Hikaru no Go. It is full of wub.

Well, I didn't get any work done today on my gothic narrative paper (due Wednesday). I did, however, go to the library to get some references for my political studies paper (on globalisation). I went to the public library instead of the campus library because the campus library is . . . big, and daunting. Also, I found out that Poppy Z. Brite's Liquor was actually in the main branch of the public library, as was Gordon Korman's Son of Interflux, and, especially after seeing a copy of Son of the Mob 2 at the local bookstore, I really had no choice. I had to walk downtown and take the necessary books out (along with something that caught my eye called Ninjas, Piranhas, and Galileo and the Charles Vess illustrated sort of graphic novel version of Neil Gaiman's Stardust).
I also saw the maintenace man dragging someone's fridge-and-freezer out of the elevator and into the complex bowels, but that's neither here nor there. I hope.
I'm really, really enjoying Son of Interflux. It's the good stuff. The really good stuff, from the eighties, with all the right references (like the Vishnik prize, which was also mentioned in Don't Care High, I think, and was a guest in the hotel Sidney and Tom were working at in Our Man Weston, he had a dog). Also, there's camels. I have a sudden, new-found appreciation for camels.
I'll work tomorrow.

I'm so sad that I've gone this long without reading "Son of Interflux". I finished it last night in bed, and I enjoyed it so much. Definitely something along the same lines as "A Semester in the Life of a Garbage Bag". Which, come to think of it, I also didn't read until quite recently. Curse my unfocussed reading ways as a child.
Really, really enjoying "Liquor" so far, to the extent that I'm disappointed the library doesn't seem to have any of Brite's other stuff. Possibly I'll just have to hope they decide to order her next book. Even if this one is making me irritatingly hungry.
Ah. Now it all makes sense. You are... you. ^^;; That is, you are the person who was cruel about PoT in two places, in the same style. (Not that I'm complaining, it's funny.)
Are you gay? (I can't be bothered to try and find out by reading for ages, but I noticed that you mentioned Poppy Z Brite (Who is awesome, BTW.). But you seemed kinda' negative/obsessed about gay stuff so I figured you were a 'phobe. *confused*
