mad, mad, he's mad.

& if you return to just samuel-beckett.net which btw is probably the most difficult site to navigate ever..just Ctrl + F 'Online Texts' = Walah! I've come to realise I am so used to reading novels that don't have any linear structure/carry a proper plotline/make any sense that I am basically only able to read texts with nothing but streams of consciousness throughout. So tiring. When you're reading someone's direct thoughts, something triggers you to catch on too and you feel like you have to read two minds simultaneously, together and separate. & there's a lot of shit you have to sift through to be able to do that in their clearest forms. Public transport will do that for me, maybe living in the hills is a good idea afterall. Anyway, read that whatever you call it. Confusion. & as I progress further along, the speed I read it accelerates like mad, then I lose my place and I don't know whether I should start again because it seems to change every time I do. Y'know what I think I will never ever ever be able to read? Plays. There's like..more punctuation than letters going on. & random fact: apparently humans are the only species that can learn just from watching. & watched a tedtalk discussing how language was picked by natural selection, and if you think of it in that way it becomes so interesting; when the entire animal kingdom is gnashing teeth and prepared to kill 007 style, and humans just need to make a frakkin noise, and we (sometimes) get what we want, and if you're a baby, you always get what you want. #loltime. cheesy pick up lines by smosh - "hey baby...you're much older than a baby..?"
