Weather and Cheever
High of 90s this week, fluxing down to the high 70-mid. 80s next week. Worst part of the year seems to be coming up pretty fast. I hate heat, and will probably be spending most of my days in the library here for the summer, if not I'm not in the classrooms, since I refuse to ride my bike in that kind of breezeless heat.
I slept very well last night, had a recurring dream occur again. Those kind of things are always strange, but I've come to accept then as a sort of inner oracle. John Goodman and John Cheever are both Geminis which makes absolute sense. I don't know if reincarnation is real, but I do believe blood from the same land carries similar dispositions. I wouldn't say I'm the reincarnation of John Cheever, but I feel a good kinship with him, something deeper than respect and identification, which kind of upsets me because he was such a mess and drunk, and I think even impotent. Writing though, and fluctuation of moods, and how he would recite things out loud and build stories off those phrases, as well as having difficulties discerning imagination and reality, all things I do, for better or worse.
