The Line: "His imprecision and laziness maddened my compulsive instincts -- his patchiness, the way even his speech was riddled with drop-outs and glitches like a worn cassette, the way his leaden senses refused the world, his attention like a pinball rolling past unlit blinkers and frozen flipppers into the hole again and again: game over" (121-22).

Reminds me of soft
facts, language undecked, the way
skin gleams through fire.

 
Comments:
my friend eva says,
"i love this book. tourette's is
my favorite syndrome."
 
I hear that Meg Ryan is your favorite syndrome. Is that true?!
 
if she could see me right now, meg ryan would rush to the plastic surgeon's for an extra shot of collagen in her already ridiculous upper lip...
 
By "upper lip" do you mean mustache? Meg Ryan's ridiculous mustache?

This makes sense if you go here
