ORIG'S PROFILE

Going to Florida with my mother for a few days tomorrow. Most 17-year-olds probably wouldn't be pleased with this, but I'm kinda looking forward to it.

Sadly that's how I heard about him. :C

How's Gertrude Orig?

I liked it! Short and thought-provoking. I feel like I should read it again, though, because I can't shake off the feeling the that the book had more to say than I payed attention to. The characters seemed to be there more as a way to represent certain emotions than they were to develop (except maybe Muoth, Kuhn, and Gertrude), but it didn't detract from the story so much as it did make the point clearer. I loved when the priest was talking to Kuhn about focusing on the needs of others when you're feeling melancholic. Hermann Hesse seems like a great author.

Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel García Márquez.

Yesterday my friend and I were at a diner and there was a man who looked exactly like a young David Crosby sitting at a table in the corner. He was on a laptop and looked really out of place. My friend drew a picture of him on a napkin and before we left I gave it to the waitress, and she gave it to him. Now he'll spend his whole life wondering who the hell drew his picture on a napkin.

it's like I'm actually shaving!

*footnote I actually think Heavy Rain will be awesome but do not own a PS3 and haven't had the drive to play videogames in forever
