Diaries are wierd things. But then so is ice cream if you think too much about it.

I figure I have to start reading H.P. Lovecraft with the next books I get. If I see one more Cthulu reference, I'm gonna start bawling.
And maybe some modern plays too. I have never read plays outside of school, but I figure I'm old enough now; I should be able to handle it without complaining. Or can I? I usually can't fucking stand them. Should I start with things by Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, Eugene Ionesco, Neil Simon, etc and then move into some of the other more famous published plays? Or just not read plays, ever? I mean, can I read Beckett again without wanting to trim it down? Have you ever read a really well-loved play (by millions of people) and said to yourself, "why didn't they just write a book?" Let me understate something: I'm definitly going to avoid alot if I do, because, face it: plays are usually pretty rancid garbage with dialogue and artifice that grates cheese better than most pizzarias.
PS. Look at that man-boy over there, tripping over his own indie-cool shoes trying to be too cool for "cool", nursing a pentient for quirkyness and intelligentsia-approved eccentricity like he was a mommy with double D's... somebody tell him to get off the road and roll into the ditch.
