I lost a part somewhere. I'll figure that out tomorrow.
Winston has stopped drinking, put on weight, and is healthier. I guess Julia is bringing him more healthy snacks when they fuck?
I learned about a new nursery rhyme. It's a "cumulative song" like "Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" so here's the last verse:
This is the farmer sowing his corn,
That kept the cock that crow'd in the morn,
That waked the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tatter'd and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milk'd the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
They think about trying to escape to the proletariat, and that seems kind of plausible. The Party doesn't seem to to aggressively police the Proles, and isn't that basically just erasing yourself?
A "strange intimacy existed, or seemed to exist" between Winston and O'Brien.
Julia suggests the bombings are false flags, which I'm inclined to agree with. She doesn't realize/care about the Party erasing history though, because she's a dumb girl.
