cross-posting my separate review. As mentioned there, the other reviews were, errr, important to me this time so thanks!
My views are obviously suspect, but
- I think the implied reason for the xanax is that itâs implied the mom died around this time of the year (but many years ago). Jimmy seems to tie it to the season
- Re: veganism, the lime pie is vegan, itâs just bad tasting, so the PC doesnât want to eat it despite it being vegan (at least this was my read). Whereas the pecan pie is non-vegan but delicious, and thus why the PC eats some anyway . . . I admit I was confused on the cycling links if we were actually changing something or if they were always both true. I.e., the vegan one was either âIâm veganâ or âIâm trying to look like the other guys in LAâ (not verbatim), so it wasnât clear to me if those were always both the case, or whether the position we left it in determined whether the PC was vegan or not?
- In the dream, I did managed to get in an accident by gunning the ambulance. Tabitha described what happened nextâyou wake up and go back to sleep again and re-do the dream (this time without the option to gun it). This was definitely not textual but I had the vague sense in that scenario that the car you get in accident with is also the momâs car, so itâs sort of two dreams about her getting in an accident for the price of one (or maybe just foreshadowing that car accidents are a topic).
