Well, I'm not working today. Which is good, because today is Friday. But I can't do anything, because business is so slow I'm really tight on cash.
Real Catch-22.
So, I'm cleaning my apartment. Going through my closet right now, I never sorted it when I moved in. Just tossed stuff in there. Posters, shelves, swords, bins of legos, other stuff.
Then, when I get it cleaned out, I'm going to clean the rest of the apartment.

Oh yeah, cleaning out your room(s) is always a fun job. It's a rainy Friday... and the piles of miscellaneous junk is getting to the "unmanageable" level.

I never did find out what exactly a catch 22 is. :-\

That's what happens when you blow all your cash on Jeep accessories and Legos.
I feel your pain. Money's really tight for me as well. I spent my day off yesterday cleaning my apartment as well. I still have a couple boxes to unpack, but they're trinket-type stuff and I'm out of shelf-space. I suppose this weekend I'm going to fog my apartment because of this damn flea infestation.

I'm not much for reading, can you give me a summary?

That's what I thought about Why Things Are by Joel Achensomething, that was a nice book.

Yes, but it isn't as good. It's the best book ever.

I assume you mean next to Silence of the Lambs.

No. Silence of the Lambs is thin-blooded, about as hard hitting as a little league try-out. Only reading The Killer On the Road, by James Ellroy, and The Two Bear Mambo by Joe Lansdale can save you from liking such weak, mainstream cookie dough fare.
After that perhaps you'll be man enough for some of the really heavy shit.
Catch-22 is two books down the line from now. I'll let you know what the score is after I read it.

The only book I have readily available is Doom II: The Official Strategy Guide. And yeah, it's nice.
