i'm starting to think that i'm the only one that's *not* doug.

now, as far as the
accusing-monica-of-not-being-monica-because-you-can't-have-read-or-understoo
d-pynchon-or-joyce-if-you're-only-nineteen thing.......well, hey, man, i'm
only twenty-one and i had read my fair share of pynchon and joyce by the
time i was nineteen. that's not to say monica isn't doug, nor is it to say
that doug isn't terrance, nor that terrance isn't abe bogota. it *is* to say
that the age discrimination going on is somewhat offensive.

aside from who is doug and who isn't (and who cares?), you guys seem to be
done with mason & dixon, or at least with the chapter by chapter reading. so
what's next....?
