08/31/2001:
Somer and I saw Ghost World today. We both liked it a lot.

08/28/2001:
I’m a failure. I promised myself that I’d read 80 pages of Rabbit at Rest today, but didn’t even come close. Instead I watched Captains Courageous, which really tugged at my heartstrings. It was a little sappy, but great stuff nonetheless.

08/27/2001:
I finally got all the Complete Crumb Comics volumes, so I’ve been rereading all of ‘em (except the first three, which I remember being kind of tedious). I still think all the books are great and it helped me to read them in order. I got a better understanding of Crumb’s progression artistically and philosophically. It’s wonderful (and disturbing) stuff.

08/13/2001:
I’m trying to quit soda pop cold turkey and it’s tough. I’ve been drinking a lot of decaffeinated tea for the past week and now I’ve moved on to plain-Jane water. I’ve tried and fail before, but this time I really think I can do it.

08/11/2001:
I’m practicing to be a hermit.
