post!!!

I kept it! Yay! (After I realized how I might have been able to get it back.)

Oh, and also I realized I typed up Part 4, good thing I didn't put it up.

A very interesting little part. It was so sad about Betty. Now, did she die from alcohol poisoning? That's how I took it.

I thought it was a total invasion of privacy that they sent someone out go see you when you called out sick. Then again, it'd probably be good if they did that nowadays.

Do I totally sense a gambling problem? He's at the tracks a lot.

"Well, I looked at the scheme sheet and I related everything to sex and age." (Pg. 125.)
-Do I get a 'no surprised here' type of thing? And I seem to know a bunch of people who would do the same thing.

They screaming guy would annoy me so much. I hate when people yell. For some reason it makes me nervous. And it's nice he wrote a book, but a bit mean of what Henry said about it.

i think once again the post office is a stable place where henry can go back to when everything else is crazy for him.

I felt bad about Betty dying. He seemed to be genuinely caring about her, from when he first found her, to when he went to the hospital. Also, what he said to the nurses about how if she was rich or famous, they would have done more to help her,seemed very true to me. It was sad that Betty's daughter didnt even show up, and her son never called back about the headstone.

Another good point i thought he had was when Janko wouldnt just sit in a room and write; he had to be payed for it, and Henry kind of said that all of the great artists weren't in it to be famous.

i thought it was really sad about betty too. it seemed like she died really fast. i mean in 2 pages she was gone. very sudden.

where did everybody go?=[

i didn't have a chance to go over it again.

yeah bukowski=gambling + alcohol + sex fiend.
its just what he does.

i feel bad for betty too.
the suddenness is just his style, i think. everything is very cut and dry with him. honest. this is what happened. this is how it happened. and moves on because shit happens.

yeah i guess so. Right after he seemed upset about bEtty, he was with Vi..

Braxton: yeah, i think Henry just jumps from one person to the next, and at that point, i think he was close to Betty and cared for her and genuinely was sad she was gone, but he wasn't 'with her' you know? they weren't dating and he just seemed sad to see how she turned out. so not only does he jump from one person to another, it wasn't like his girlfriend died and he moved on right away. just an ex, current friend. still really sudden though.

i forget who asked..but yeah, i think it might have just been alcohol poisoning. i'm not too sure on what else it would be.

i felt bad for Betty. It's true about her kids. the daughther didn't show up...but then, they couldn't even find her...but still, she never payed attention to her mom. and the son came and was nice, but like braxton said, he never even wrote back about the headstone. it was like he did what he had too and then left.

I dont' think what Henry said about the book was mean. he seemed to be nice about it, but was honest about the part he didn't like. it's just constructive criticism. janko is really annoying though. i wouldn't be able to stand it!!!

i think it's horrible how they have certain hours to work, but then keep making them stay hour after hour. they think they get to leave, and then no, stay an hour longer...then it gets to the end...stay another hour. that's wrong.

i think the people checking up on you when you are sick is wrong. i understand most of the time people lie, but if they aren't missing all the time...and dont' get fired for missing all the time..then leave them be. maybe they just need a personal day off or something. they work hard and sometimes you just need a day off. and to check up on them is kind of a breach of their privacy i think...

lauren: good point. theyw eren't actually going out, so he was jsut being a friend to her. which was nice...

yes it was alcohol poisoning.. sad..

ia gree about Janko's book. i think what Henry was trying to tell him was that he wasnt really writing it for himself, Janko was writing it for money and fame.

yeah that isnt right with the nurses. if they skip too much, they should get fired, but just because you are supposed to work for them 8 hours a day doesnt mean they can go to your house and force you to come in if you aren't sick.

For anyone that cares, i probably wont be able to post about anything on here for the next section until monday or tuesday..

for this section? or do you mean for the one that will be posted this coming week? either way, that's okay!! we'll talk to you when you can come on!!!

the one for this coming week.
okay hha so talk to you then:]

well, alright then!!!

i'll have to post it earlier this week than sunday anyway..b/c i am going out of town and i'm not sure if i'll have a computer to be able to post it sunday...so i figured just posting it a bit early is a good solution. nobody has to post right away or anything..

cool.
well, i kow i will during that week sometime.. jsut not right away.
hopefully you have fun wherever you're going:]

awesome. sounds good!
i'm going to georgia..i hope it's fun..haha

cool. i mgiht even be able to go on, like you.. im just not sure..haha
