Redux and Heart-Thrusts

Apartment Hunting made some strides yesterday, strides including rethinking a great deal of the plot, which, given the lull on this piece, is only natural.  Some of the key scenes, after all this time, aren't really necessary anymore to be honest, which opened up the plot in a whole new way.  The restaurant where I work (NAHA) is going to be closed the first week of January (take that financial freedom!) so my general goal is still very doable.

BOOKS: I finished A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, and I have to say, he impressed me, I sort of rebelled against reading this book (I don't remember why), but I feel it had something to do with lumping him in with Nick Hornby...?  I started coming back when he (eggers) wrote a fantastic intro to the 10th anniversary edition of Infinite Jest...and how can I fault someone who loves DFW as much as I?  So today, it begins, gauntlet is being thrown and I'm starting Gravity's Rainbow from Thomas Pynchon.  I've yet to read any of his works, but grabbed GR, along with The Recognitions from William Gaddis in an attempt to connect with DFW's predecessors.  

I'm going to see Synecdoche, New York tonight, and while I'm inexorably linked to anything Kaufman does, I'm hoping this doesn't breach the self-indulgent vibe I'm getting from the film.

Spacy, jesus christ I'm spaced-out, a xanax hangover...not fun.
