Chapter 18
I have the whole evening free. Maybe I can give Jane a buzz to see if she wanna dance or something somewhere. @Jane
I gave old Jane a buzz but she didn't pick up. So I gave old Carl Luce a buzz.
Carl said he could meet me for a drink. I think he was pretty surprised to hear from me because I once called him a "fat-assed phony." #phony #Carl Luce
Still got some time to kill. I'm @ Radio City. A goddam stage show was on... #show #goddam
The movie was over. I'm walking down to the Wicker Bar. I'm going to meet old Carl Luce there. #Carl Luce
War movies always make me think of wars.... If there's another war, I'm going to sit right the hell on top of it. I'll volunteer for it, I swear to God I will.
Chapter 19
For those who don't live in New York, the Wicker Bar is in this sort of swanky hotel, the Seton Hotel.
Old Luce. What a guy. He was supposed to be my student adviser when I was @ the Whooton, but the only thing he ever did, was give these sex talks and all... #Carl Luce #sex talks
Carl finally showed up and he said he could only stay a couple of minutes. He said he had a date.
Carl is dating a girl from Shanghai now. For chrissake, that's crazy.
Old Luce. He was strictly a pain in the ass but he certainly had a good vocabulary. Actually, he had the largest vocabulary at Whooton. #Carl Luce #vocabulary
Chapter 20
I kept sitting there getting drunk and waiting for oldTina and Janine to come out and do their stuff, but they weren't there.
Why do people never give your message to anybody?...
It's one o'clock or so....And I'm drunk as a bastard. #Drunk #Bastard
I am sooo drunk.... I wanna give Sally a buzz.
I wished to God I hadn't even phoned Sally, when I'm drunk, I'm a madman.
When I got down off the radiator and went out to the hat-check room, I was crying and all. I was feeling so damn depressed and lonesome. #Depressed #Lonesome
