Thank you for reminding me to update, Kuchiki Rukia...whoever you are.

Ayame got me reading Palahniuk again, more or less against my will. To be perfectly honest, Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors...the only problem is, his books are like a couple-hour drug trip that you have to work your way through. They're difficult to put down, and I have a habit of chain-reading the ones I own.

First Fight Club, with our no-name narrator and soap of the filthy rich. Then Choke, with all of our singularly "American" sex addicts and a cynical and delusional would-be Jesus. Then The Haunted, complete with the depravity of "artists", and the pseudo-fairytale of Diary, and all the gender-identity messes Invisible Monsters creates and...and I still need to pick up used copies of Survivor and Lullaby.

Took that one woman's advise and started up practices with the local swim team. The practices are early-morning---5:00, actually---and it's not necessarily competetive, so I don't have to attend the meets if I don't have the time. I've found swimming to be...relaxing. It's a singular sport, and it's so, so quiet on deck before the drills start...

Ino. I need to have a word with you.

books, swim, palahniuk
