Pattern Recognition (Wm Gibson)

I’m about halfway through this book and it’s rocking out super hard now. It really only took about 40 pages to get up out of the quagmire and start moving. It becomes int’l espionagey like all ny times bestsellers seem to but the difference here is William Gibson and the sheer size of his brain. Amazing. I’ve gotta say that what ben franklin was to inventing, this guy is to fiction.

Well I’m flying again and this guy isn’t helping.  Neither is Delta.

When I was 19 I werked at a bar that hosted poetry nights.  Old guys would occasionally get onstage and start rattling off what they felt were hip phrases and cool reference points and god it was fuggin boring and I just wanted them to JUST SAY IT!  Whatever the hell it is that you mean, just say it.

That’s what this book is doing to me now.  It reads like a catalogue of hip reference points and sassy phrases that one must dig and grindones way through to find the storythread.   I’ve found it twice so far….I think.  But my head hurts.  I think this man needs an editor.

As for Delta, I have 3 hrs in this airport and as I’m flying alone and all day I spent the xtra dough for first class.  Can I get into the 1st class lounge? NO!  Wtf?  I can assure you if there is ever any terrorism or airrage associated with Delta I bet its got nothing to do with the U.S. Govt or this shitty consumer culture we’ve created and now must labor under or god putting OUR oil under THEIR desert.

NOPE its Delta.
