Well, if I could afford an Edwardian 1st edition, you know it would be Conrad ('cause I'm *that* dude) and we'd prolly have to arm-wrassle for it. (A drinking contest could constitute an acceptable substitute? Or a stare down or holding one's breath or music trivia...no fencing; my forward knee is shot.) Will def send you $20 worth of tokens though if you guys find an operational Spy Hunter in a dying mall arcade.

from ernst :

Those Kate Riley excerpts are hella intriguing and totally Pidge-y style-y. I too have never read Chodleros de Laclos' classic, but shall, and am super-stoked yer mom's found Wharton. As for my literary 2023? (Ralph Wiggum voice:) I read a story about Hamstel and Grebble!

from orangepeeler :

"Aging is a crock, but it's also a cauldron": love this entry.

from ernst :

Ooof, Amalfi. Was I working on that joint when we met? (I saw it in a montage on one of those Gordon Ramsey-yells-at-people shows the other day, where he was talking about the stiff fine-dining competition on La Brea and I was like, umm...?) Perfect fake liqueur name, though.

from ernst :

Yesss, Hob!! (Though I do endeavor to recommend him w/out spoilers/preconception. Which reminds me, I've got a spoiler-prone anime I want to recommend to you guys...)

from ernst :

So many answers to give here, so we'll go in reverse order over the course of three notes: First off, since we'd be meeting at Nat's Early Bite in Sherman Oaks, my BLT with Green Gartside would NOT be soggy. And OF COURSE I'd have a hundred questions. The most culturally relevant being, “When you wrote 'Perfect Way', did you realize you were writing every boy-band hit ever?”. But the most pressing being, “When did you stop wearing eyeliner, and do you think I should as well?”

from ernst :

Cocaine ghosts shamblin' through shameless sprinkler-sprays...I miss The Valley (sometimes).

from ernst :

Saw a thrift-store copy of the Rachel Papes w/the movie pic on the cover (ugh) and thought for a minute about a revisit...but let it lie instead in peace, in memory. Not sure which, if any, specific-to-my-own-era coming of age novels might hold up now or shine a new light in retrospect? (“Rules Of Attraction”? Too forthright. “Mysteries of Pittsburgh” maybe? Maybe.)

from raven72d :

Great Martin Amis thoughts.

from ernst :

Whispers into her girlfriend's ear at a party "Oh look that's David, very active in the theater...he comes from from toy-and-wallpaper money, you know."

from ernst :

David Sylvain represented a critical step in human progress, a final rung towards the end of the evolutionary ladder where, with the birth of Simon Le Bon, our species became fully realized.

from ernst :

I'd say our old 'nabe off Temple Street had an Ashcan School vibe (substitute errant 99₵ Store bags for dirty snowdrifts). And Venice strikes me as shamelessly neo-expressionist.

from raven72d :

Just discovered you! Great entries!

from ernst :

Don’t know if any part of this is informed by my “dancing-with-Andy Garcia’s-celebrity-girlfriend” anecdote…but I’m triangulating a cologne strategy/hypothesis accordingly.

from ernst :

Though his ghost is freshly-hatched, Davis has haunted me for years. One of the best, pourin' one on the (quartz) block.

from ernst :

If only Diaryland knew how much of your wardrobe is straight-up Chapterhouse mix-n-match...

from boombasticat :

Hey, it's possible you've already sent one my way, but any chance I could get a password?

from orangepeeler :

I see you're still writing here...

from boombasticat :

Hey, I'd love a password if one's available.

from orangepeeler :

still have those bananas?

from pettyquarrel :

Whenever I hear someone say po-mo, I laugh in his/her face. Even if he/she is on the TV. And whenever someone asks me how he/she looks in sunglasses, I tell the truth. "Like a FOOL MOTHERFUCKER." (I like your journal.)

from whitepigeon :

e, I killed your notes because they have your home fone #. but love, anyhow.
