I’m reading MOBY DICK, (it’s written with caps lock on the cover). A book very rich in symbolism; reading it feels like drinking concentrated juice, thinks I.

Coincidentally, it’s that very same book which Rory Gilmore read — sitting leaning against a lush green tree; so captivated, that when a football came flying close to her head, she didn’t react at all.
I hide the rest because it contains some spoilers maybe from Gilmore Girls
That’s how she won Deans heart. (He’d never seen someone so completely immersed in the reading, so uninterested in his sporting, that it’s absurd how he later becomes disappointed that she doesn’t come watching his games (he wants her to show an interest in his life, but it’s not like he comes watching her studying (when he does, he becomes jealous))).
So that says a lot about a book, thinks I.
And of Rory’s formidable mind.
But I always thought, that Jesse was the best match. Or rather: if I was Rory, he’s who I would’ve picked. But then again not, because if I was Rory then I would’ve done whatever Rory did.
And I can’t change the past; there’s a quote from Gummitarzan ”Rubber-Tarzan” by Danish author Ole Lund Kirkegaard, which reads:
“Jeg er bare en ganske alminnelig mand som ikke kan forandre noget som helst jeg”
Which translates roughly to:
“I am just an ordinary man who cannot change anything at all.”
Which struck a chord in me, I think I remember it was a teacher who said that.
In the book.
