"[...]a vessel cleaving the dungeon of the waves[...]"
You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by
sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give
consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the
one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions
barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff
could get you killed.

Never miss a word
You're Infinite Jest!
by David Foster Wallace
While you1 consider yourself2 to be clever,
there are those3 who think you're just full of yourself or, perhaps worse,
playing a joke4 on everyone around you, and yet you are pretty sure that
you really are that brilliant after all, since people would hardly take the time to
get to know you5 if they didn't care very deeply about what you had to
say to them, to wit, about their lives, their hopes, their dreams, their fears, their
drug habits, and of course what videos6 they prefer to watch, since,
after all, your impressive vocabulary and tendency to go on and on7 makes
you seem superior, able to educate them, and really drive a sense of something
ineffable into their measly little skulls while you are not above making a cheap
gag or really going after anyone or anything or telling them about incredible
futures involving tennis, geopolitics, and
1Meaning you personally, not someone like you or your own
personal daddy, for example.
2As well as you can see yourself, which, frankly, may not be that well.
3Though we wouldn't deign to be so peripatetic as to name them here, mind.
4Jokes, though not common in Victorian England, were known to originate
sometime in ancient history, perhaps as early as the time of Babylon, or even before.
It is thought that the history of the joke plays an integral role in the mindset of
the characters depicted here, though you may disagree at this point, in which case I
am facing quite the dilemma in relaying this narrative, no?
5It is rather time consuming, after all.
6Ha!

You're The Metamorphosis!
by Franz Kafka
Though you think you're in the midst of a dream, the fact of the
matter is that your life has become a nightmare. The nightmare at first seems
horrific to you, but you are slowly able to adjust to the facts of the matter
and settle down and make do with what you've been given. There are those that
would say you're pointless and absurd, but you're really just trying to
demonstrate that people can (and do) adapt to anything, no matter how absurd
it is. Not that this will really inspire them to change, because they probably
don't understand.

I am going to have to write an imagined dialog, as I do my work at my desk today...
Found object, non-obeisance.
This is great. I gave vit c and l-dopa today for this purpose.

I await your telegram, postcard, pieced ransom, or sticky note, received on the right conjunction for such cause. This is the last I am going to say about this.
Hgh secretagogues. I have more endurance at work (nine flights of stairs), and I have lost weight because I am not constantly hungry or tired.
I tend to ask and answer my own questions, and thank you for making me reevaluate things.

I do not have this, since the move, but I will think of something.
The stationary.
This is definitely promising for the future(!) I have wanted to extend Alexander Trocchi's Helen adventures in the Olympia Press, but Iris Owens/Harriet Daimler's The Woman Thing (1958) sounds provocative,
"One of author Daimler's more unusual works, involving debates about philosophy, madness, religion, and the screaming tender demon inside. Martha and Macdonald sit in Paris, debate and chat, and need, and desire, and reject... And have lots of sex. First published 1958 as no. 61 in the Traveller's Companion Series."
The NYRB edition of After Claude (1973) is very humorous, for its abandoned mattress on an aerobic step. The Chelsea figures, where I spent a difficult weekend with black water coming out of the taps.

If I never require the supplements for any cause but for improved folate status countering the effects of a gene mutation associated with depression, then it will have been worth it.

I will do it this year. I stopped mailing things to addresses because I could not receive the feedback that it was ok.
Anything with the flavor of being a Simp is undesired, even at my age and bent. I had this translated for me:
"Put simply, a Simp is the Gen Z version of the infamous Nice Guy. We all know this person; someone who, instead of working on themselves and attempting to attract a member of the opposite sex by being thoughtful or interesting, focuses on being controlling and sycophantic. They use faux niceness to lull their victims into a false sense of security, hoping to gain romantic leverage to be cashed in later. Sure, the Simp definition is very basic and entirely heteronormative, offering a very two-dimensional view of modern romance, but the gender is interchangeable in this instance. We’ve seen a number of Simp Nation memes and TikToks featuring women. At the same time, however, the practice seems to involve a disproportionately high percentage of men."
According to a TikTok posted by NoChillTy, there are some obvious markers of a simp. Here are 9 ways to identify a Simp;
Always doing the most for a female that doesn’t like them.
Always trying to impress females.
Puts females before themselves.
Will defend a female just for a drop of *cat emoji*.
Hates slander of any female.
Has no game when coming to females so they only try to impress them by doing everything for them.
Lets females walk over them.
Constantly getting curved.

I want to get rid of this exhibit. I do not like it.
There is no point in pursuing someone when the anticipated reaction is the unimpressed meme generator.
Exercise 91.
