Hello again, KLiters!
LettieLou and I are so stoked that Kristen and Kerouac fans alike are joining in with our read/groove/bake along :)
Please do let us know your comments on the book as well as any songs that you think would be just perfect for the soundtrack or any of our recipes that you've tried...
Down the road a bit (ha) we're hoping to invite guest commenters to take part in our breakdown, where you'll get to join in on the behind-the-scenes chat (and see what random tangent hilarity gets edited out of posts for our own good - trust). Eventually, we'd love to turn this into regular group chat-room discussions - like our own online Beatnik Bootcamp!
Ya dig, Daddy-o?
- Lorabell
Chapter Summary:
After finally seeming to settle into his journey, Sal reverts to being immaturely impatient with his experience, once again yearning for Denver and his friends Dean and Carlo. Failed attempts at hitting on nameless, faceless girls and empty extravagances with booze leave him sick and tired and dreaming of greener grass...
Breaking it down - an excerpt:
Lorabell: dude's got a pair of ill-advised balls
LettieLou: he doesn't give a shit
Lorabell: why should he? he's off to denver
lol
LettieLou: DAMN STRAIGHT
to denver!!!
Lorabell: and driving in a truck full of dudes for however long would likely make you need a woman
hence why he moves straight onto that blonde bit
LettieLou: great segway
Lorabell: and everything in him is "pointing" at her - ha!
*bows* thanks
LettieLou: BUT
Lorabell: ?
LettieLou: even that seems disappointing to him
not enough, ya know?
Lorabell: true
she's kinda meh
and her friend isn't attractive
LettieLou: if dean isn't involved, it's not good enough
Lorabell: he's already checked out
LettieLou: *snaps*
bingo
