wait... "filed teeth"?

when i was lying in bed last night it occurred to me that in "An Outpost of Progress" by Joseph Conrad the displaced "workers" are described as having filed teeth. The main characters, which i only remember as K and C, where described as fearful, regressed, child men. So why weren't they afraid of people with pointy teeth?

other weird before i fall asleep thoughts:

- is proliferous a word? like something that proliferates a lot...

- what if i have been mixing up "then" and "than" my whole spelling career?

- i want to learn how to make salmon burgers.... i had a really good salmon burger at that one restaurant.... what is that place called?.... and carmel popcorn! i could make carmel popcorn for the food gatherers bake sale..... yeah.... i could put them in individual plastic bags....

The Glass Menagerie (part uno)

this guy who calls himself Tennessee, he wrote some plays.
i am reading one

i think he must have been an odd fish.

one of my teachers said that you should try not to think about authors while reading.
i say fuck that,
because Mr. Williams sort of invites the reader to get involved in something something fallacy
(not the pathetic fallacy, the other one)

also
T.W. (to personal? whtevr...) dislikes fire escapes, uh...
because society is burning down and all that. but that is all part of the metaphors and clearly he his transferring his anger.

they say transference is bad. why? well duh... but still.

LOTSA metaphors....
Jesus ............................

come out and say it.

why i am a hippo-crit aren't i.
