*Printers are Loud*

What a dope I am, printing something so late at night. I didn't realize it would be so slow and noisy! Gyeek- please let it be quieter on the outside!!!

So, I forgot to print the map for the Shibuya Ward Office at school today, because that's the way my brain works/fails to work. I did, however, remember to print all of the poetry and short stories I have selected to bring to the December meeting of the book club I joined. I'm planning to bring/have printed:

*"Bullet in the Brain"- Tobias Wolff (http://ofsink.com/bullet.pdf)
*"The Yellow Wallpaper"- Charlotte Perkins Gilman (http://www.library.csi.cuny.edu/dept/history/lavender/wallpaper.html)
*"A Temporary Matter"- Jhumpa Lahiri (http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/l/lahiri-maladies.html)
*"Six to Eight Black Men"- David Sedaris (http://people.cornell.edu/pages/bs16/Christmas/6_to_8_black_men.txt)

*"Tonight I Can Write"- Pablo Neruda (http://www.geocities.com/nerudapoet/lovepoems/tonighti.htm)
*"My Boy Jack"- Rudyard Kipling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Boy_Jack_(poem)#Text_of_the_poem)
*"Not Waving But Drowning"- Stevie Smith (http://www.artofeurope.com/smith/smi1.htm)
*"Magnificat"- Michele Roberts (http://mandyofthesea.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html --linking myself??!)

I'm also trying to get ahold of the first chapter of "The Things They Carried" to print. But maybe I have too many already? I don't know how much to bring @.@! I hope everyone else brings things that are amazing that I've never heard of!

I found this really nifty book at the library called "Crime Novels: American Noir: 1930s & 40s". It has about six novellas in it that eventually became Film Noir(s?). Like "The Postman Always Rings Twice," "They Shoot Horses, Don't They," and "Thieves Like Us." Having never seen an old film noir (I've seen modern interpretations tho... up the wazoo!), I don't actually know these films/stories, but I have heard of them, which must count for something, mustn't it?

Well, I'm exhausted, so fair thee well into this wintry night. Or... wake up happily? I guess it's about six am there. Lazy bones! Just kidding...?
