fear not, i am here slyly logged on to my college account from work. i'm
clever that way.

seriously though, on a salinger note...

is there a salinger story that involves a swizzle stick? perhaps a gold or
silver plated one? that was given to a girl who didn't really want it but
kept it in her bag anyway cause she felt bad about throwing it away?

if anyone can remember *where* this story comes from, please let me know.
i suspect it's in a salinger story somewhere (catcher? f&z?), although
failing that, my suspicions fall on the bell jar.

it's really starting to bug me, like when you try to remember the theme
tune to the a-team, and it's on the tip of tongue and you *just can't*...
and despite the fact that i am, indeed, and arts student, i actually don't
have the leisure time to re-read salinger's entire published work plus a
plath novel, so i'd much appreciate it if anyone can place this,
culd they please let me know. cheers.

now, *there's* a sentence.

also, did we decide on a time for the 30th dec?
