The daily grind. Quixotic. Wait, is that the word? No. Quotidian. That's the word I was looking for. Quotidian means "daily." Not daily grind, just daily. I think. Don't "quotidian" me on that. LOL. Quixotic? That's like Don Quixote, I think. If one is quixotic, they're acting like Quixote. Chasing windmills and whatnot. At least I remember reading that. I didn't remember that I had read Catcher in the Rye. I still don't remember having read it, now that I know I have read it. I still don't remember what it's about, even, even though it's one of those books that's so famous and that so many people have read, that I should have a general sense of what it's about. But I don't. All I remember about what it's about is what I remember from having read the day before yesterday, about having just read it and how the main character can't stand phonies. Otherwise, no clue. Who's the catcher? What's the rye? Like a rye field? People are playing catch there? I guess I have an idea that the main character is a young man, or teen boy, who's maybe from a rough and tumble, poor life. Maybe he's an orphan? Maybe I'm getting mixed up with something else. Some Dickens something or other. Who even wrote Catcher in the Rye? I have no idea. Was it Dickens? Don't ask me. My brain chose not to remember anything about having read that book, and it's not even because I didn't like it, I wrote about how I did like it. I wonder if it's partly because I was going through so much brain-shifting around them.
