Entry 5

Steaks. Steaks were on the menu every saturday at Pencey Prep. I'd bet my hat, or maybe my arm instead, that the reason they did it was because the parents all came down on a sunday night to see how their childs going in school. Goddam phoneys the lot of them. Well after I'd done Stradlater's composition for him I had nothing else to do so I thought I'd go and see a film with a friend of mine Mal Brossard and we invited Ackley along just to make up numbers. I dont like the cinemas much. It's mainly phoneys that go to see the top actors on screen. all these a list stars drive me crazy. So, we went to see what was showing but there wasn't anything much good on so we made our tracks back to pencey. When I got back I started to think about Stradlater with that crumby razor but mainly Ackley with those lousy teeth and those over crowding pimples.
