Dear Laural,

INTERPOL INTERPOL INTERPOL.

Love,

I've already been up an hour. Way too early if you think about the fact that I went to bed at 3, but on the other hand this is the first day this week I've slept less than 9 hours, so I think it all evens out. Regardless I'm going to go watch A Clockwork Orange and hopefully pass out. Exercise and eating right seems not to counteract mood from lack of job/cuddlemonkey, so I may as well ride this goth train for all it's worth.

More PKD genius

[when asked why he wrote SF]
"Its audience is not hamstrung by middle-class prejudices and will listen to genuinely new ideas. "

"The notion that a novel needs a moral or message is a bourgeois concept... the writer is not a bit superior in morals to his audience anyway -- and frequently he's inferior to them. What moral can he really teach them?'

"Heinlein has done more to harm SF than has any other writer, I think. The dialogue in Stranger in a Strange Land has to be read to believed. 'Give the little lady a box of cigars!' a character cries, meaning that the girl has said something that is correct. One wonders what the rejoinder would be if a truly inspired remark had to be answered, rather than a routine statement; it would probably burst the book's gizzard."
