Notes to Myself 4

Binged today too. 
Thanks to a msg from a friend that informed me about this mega sale at Landmark, I went there and bought books for about 1600 bucks. 


I bought
Graphic Novels
Jason Lutes - Jar of Fools
Craig Thompson - Goodbye, Chunky Rice
Jeffrey Brown - Little Things: A memoir in slices
William Messner Loebs - Journey - The adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire
Matt Madden - Exercises in Style - 99 ways to tell a story
Larry Gonick - Cartoon guide to Genetics
Jeremy Love - Bayou (Zuda Comics)


Each 199 flat. 


Non-graphic books
Andrew Schelling - Dropping the Bow - Poems from Ancient India

Ring Lardner - Best of Ring Lardner
Divisadero - Michael Ondaatje


These cost another 200 put together. 





First set of graphic novels I own. 
I am a happy man. 


I remember telling her a year and a half back at one of the landmark sales that very soon I will come back and buy books to my heart's content.
That day just happened. 

It took a while getting there though. 


-----------------------
Thats two days of over indulgence.
And the weekend is just here.
Tomorrow and day after is going to be a food + movie binge. 

I am leading this life that I certainly can't afford. And I don't mean monetarily. Its just the kind of lifestyle that will have great repercussions at a later stage in life. 




Whatever. That's just guilt's voice from a distant corner.
SHUT UP, guilt!

-----------------------------
But i think I know what I am doing.
I am trying to compensate. 

For my loss.
By crowding my room with Books and DVDs. 

I am trying not to let myself think too much. 


That's just rationale's voice from a distant corner. 
SHUT UP, rationale. 
------------------------------
But it was a fairly unproductive day as far as work is concerned.
Not good. 



That's just my sense of duty's voice from a distant corner. 
SHUT UP, sense of duty. 
----------------------------
I am looking to hire. 
I know exactly the people who would be a fantastic fit for the job profile I have. 
It's just that these people won't agree.
Sigh. 

--------------------
My to do list is ever increasing. 
And October is already here. 
--------------------
It's amazing how the things I wanted to write about slowly disappear from my head once I have had my dinner. 

--------------------------
I am a brain, Watson. The rest of me is a mere appendix. - Sherlock Holmes.
------------------

OH SHIT. My phone fell into a bucket of water.
Fuck. 



How convenient?
