Sick. Blagggh. Hopefully not the flu of piggish origin. Don't think it is, but stupid media still worries me. Not going to the Health Center unless I sprout a curly tail. Just gonna keep chugging Dr. Pepper and popping NyQuil caplets.
On to Gulliver and his travels. I'm a little bit disappointed in Book 2; it's still enjoyable, but doesn't quite hold up to the standard set by the brilliant Book 1. Mostly I think Swift got too caught up in Gulliver being really tiny and lost some opportunity for really good satire. I suppose, though, that it's hard to keep something brilliant the whole way through. Not everything can be, say, The Road.
I do look forward to discussing the book, but unfortunately I'll be missing class tomorrow. Dammit. I feel like maybe I was missing something when I read Book 2, and that's why it doesn't seem as funny... Or maybe Swift just dropped the potty humor. I dunno.
I'd be careful, TJ.
ReplyDeleteMcCarthy's dick might chafe if you keep jerking him off so enthusiastically.
Of course, I kid, haha.
At this point, I'm sure any action McCarthy can get would be appreciated. He's in his seventies and lives with scientists at a research facility.
ReplyDelete... oh, dear.
