Alright, beat deadline, still awake. Now marveling over J. Butler's crazy descriptions of nachos and martinis. A man after my own heart. |
I am reading big fat books from Jack Butler and Roberto Bolano at the same time. This is very pleasant cognitive dissonance. |
The fen is mightier than the greensward. |
