He took a duck to the face at 250 knots

I really wanted to drive home today, but my fucking unemployment check didn’t arrive as per its usual schedule, and I need that money to pay rent, so I have to wait for it to arrive. I sat home today, finished off Pattern Recognition by William Gibson, which was an amazing book. It took me about a week to read, which is very fast for my standards.

Adam and Helen are fighting, all of the sudden. They left to return some library books and came back an hour later yelling at each other as they walked from the front door to the bedroom. They have been yelling at each other back there for some time now. They read this journal from time to time, which is why this entry is marked friends only. Seems to me they should just break up, but I’m external to the situation, so who knows. I gave up trying to figure them, and even Adam, out a long time ago.

Maybe I will start another book tonight…. I seem to be winding my way through my backlog pretty quickly. Perhaps I am getting faster at reading with all the practice I have been giving myself lately.
