a royal pain in the ass

I have another more paper going tomorrow. Some lousy affair really, because I don’t do too well in it, even though the quizzes and the sort were all ninety something thanks to peniruan dari orang orang yang rajin. Oh well, I’ll start tomorrow. Five chapters altogether, shouldn’t be too much of a burden, except if they start asking definitions and explanation of things, which really is a royal pain in the ass (meh).

Speaking of a royal pain in the ass, I went to this really annoying bookstore last week and saw to my utmost horror stickers of ‘Best for Me’ on the cover of every copy of The Catcher in The Rye available. Supposedly it was voted by some local radio station by the listeners or something. Duh. Ugh. Now everyone’s gonna buy em. I mean, its all so good if people start buying it, it’s just that it’s better if someone you know recommend it to you rather than some radio station or oprah endorsing it for you. Oh well, they’re getting the reprint of the original cover, which ain’t too pretty, so whatever.

And also, apparently, they somehow reduced the price for the Nine Stories, it being 18.90 rather than 32.90 being sold by other bookstores. Probably because the cover ain’t so appealing. But meh, I don’t know. If people do buy it, they probably ain’t gonna get the whole meaning of it. I mean, the book itself is a transition of the way mr jds here from the holden-ish period to a more teddy-ish period, something like a fuck everything else period to a discard everything you know and then only you begin to perceive. Later, he altogether concluded that he hates all this publicity of people getting too kittenish to start interviewing him and bothering him and all and goes into a social recluse till his death last january. But i bet he’d hate it even more if people try to derive things from the stuff he writes, so fuck whatever.

Talking about books is rather… bookish. Meh I should stop. I dreamt of walking/climbing on a road full of cow poop of assorted colours. Which is really … ew. I really need to empty this head before sleeping. It disrupts the natural order of everything.

Do not falter.
