Once Again, I Find Myself Reading A Book About DESPAIR


desperate poultry

Dear Diary,

In other news, Steven and I at long last roasted our Thanksgiving turkey. Now there will finally be room in the freezer for leftover turkey a la king.

As for the book, it is awesome! (I am reading Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathaniel West, and, as I said, there is quite a bit of DESPAIR here on the part of the protagonist as he muddles his way through his job as the agony columnist for the local newspaper. And let me tell you, the letters he gets are plenty depressing. Plus there's Shrike, his jerk boss who spoils all his attempts to find redemption via religion, art etc. (So far I have only gotten to religion.) The description on the back of the novel promises something about 'death,' so maybe I will be 3 for 3. Ah. Death by one's own insanity.)

Turkey curry, turkey sandwiches, turkey soup.

In still even other news, a reporter at the news conference yesterday asked the women from US Geological Survey if it was significant that the (7.2) earthquake happened on Easter Sunday. The USGS woman said 'no.'

My cat is doing well. Thank you.
