i like this guy. he's precisely the representation of what i imagine u. chicago to be. my dad went there and tells affectionately nostalgic stories like how his brilliant roommate would stand on a chair, blast symphonies, and conduct in his underwear. he (alex, or alex-as-self-represented-online) also reminds me a little of johnny.
while i'm at it, i've also been reading malpractice pretty regularly and denniskim. but i haven't really decided what my criteria for linking should be; i think too much and every once in a while i get shy about it. what is linking exactly? the equivalent of buying stock in a person, or painting their doorpost with blood, or reccommending a film? speaking of which, gwtw is showing at the dfi and i'm torn: forego melodramatic revisionist/racist claptrap, or go, prepared to revel in o. selznick sentiment on the big screen for the first time?
and speaking of which again, jean m. auel, i see, has finally released the long-awaited sequel x4 to Clan of the Cave Bear. oh when i was young and didn't know better, the books i read (and read and read, cuz in my book, anything worth reading was worth chewing like cud). i plead a nascent fascination with anthropology. back then, i was impressed partly because i assumed they were true.
