>I learned that Frida recorded a cover of "Life on Mars" for one of her solo albums.

this is definitely of fringe interest but here's a mashup of Frida and Penderecki I made for a fellow noiseboarder's birthday

i've never read zizek... compare him to somebody.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

oh, he's a professor at the European Graduate School -- what the hell is with that place? i was convinced it was a hoax, but now i am afraid it is real!

― killy (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:38 (twenty years ago)

...did anyone else read that piece in Harper's by the dude that invented the "flash mob?"

yes, and that douche was on brian lehrer today too. ugh.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:40 (twenty years ago)

i bet it's made up. all these famous people "teach" there. i don't know who to compare him to. welcome to the desert of the real is only like 150 pages (and it's one of those tall, skinny verso books so the pages aren't normal size) so you should just read it, it's good!

Unfortunately, he's taken:

he had a spread in Film Comment last issue.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

In which he Commented on Films.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

haha is that really his wife? i don't know whether to say wow or ew, creepy old man

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

the boy done good.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

That is really his wife. I love that photo. It's hilarious.

hey cunningh4m: is that DFW book any good? I read A Supposedly Fun Thing and that it was outstanding (esp the titular essay).

-- gbx (in....), March 8th, 2006 2:23 PM. (skowly) (later) (link)

Sk0w, I've only read one of the essays so far. But yeah, good. Supposedly Fun Thing is my favorite book of his (including the fiction).

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I made a go at Infinite Jest in, like, 11th grade or so but gave up after a few hundred pages. Besides being a bit dense, it was heavy and people teased me for lugging around such a ridiculously sized book.

Also, I had acne.

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:45 (twenty years ago)

once i read a page of it because my friend was reading it and i thought i might puke or die if i went any further

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

yes! i hate that dude.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

caitlin why aren't there more cool girls like you? n_n

xpost BUZZ OFF, BRIT!

― killy (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:50 (twenty years ago)

hey! lay off adam. he's special.

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

I made a go at Infinite Jest once when I was 17 and again when I was 23. Neither time did I make it past the first 100 pages. That, and I got sick of a couple friends of mine waxing rhapsodic about it in a really sickening way. Eff that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

never mind, caitlin! i take it back!

Still, his essays are pretty great.

xpost DFW's, not Adam's. I don't know if he writes essays.

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

don't be mean to adam, he is lovely

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

I also finished The Game the other day, it was stupid.

The last essay I wrote was a mawkish "personal statement" that somehow got me into grad school.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Yeeks. I just wrote one of those about doctor school and it was BAAAD>

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

recent:
"the metamorphosis" (kafka)
do androids dream... (philip k. dick)
"the double" (dostoevsky)

now:
the divine invasion (philip k. dick)

next:
cloud atlas (mitchell)
maybe neuromancer

― inert false cat (sleep), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

guys, my comment to adam was not serious. i luv all of u.

personal statements are the worst. it was during the personal-statement-writing process that i decided "fuck grad school" and moved to pennsylvania instead.

i got a 1470 on the GREs and i like to brag about that. so i'll mention it here because it is almost relevant.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 21:01 (twenty years ago)

divine invasion was my fave pkd

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 21:07 (twenty years ago)

The last essay I wrote was a mawkish "personal statement" that somehow got me into grad school.

my personal statement (and my letters of recommendation, and maybe my resume) was what got me into grad school. it wasn't my grades, that's for sure! i'm living proof that you can slack off through undergrad and still get into a fancy grad school.

― Knute Rockne, All American (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 21:17 (twenty years ago)

wow... that reminds me of this amazing book called "Handbook for Poisoners" that i recommend to EVERYONE. the first half includes a glossary full of information about various poisons (animal venoms, plants, chemicals, etc), and accounts of real-life poison stories. the second half is a collection of short stories ALL ABOUT POISONINGS by famous writers (i think rudyard kipling, arthur conan doyle, etc). i LOVE that book so much. the cover says HANDBOOK FOR POISONERS in a very large font, and i was reading it on the bus once. this old man tapped me from the seat behind and said "i better be careful around you, huh?"

― Q _ _ n n (baby lenin pin), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 21:19 (twenty years ago)

does it have anything to do with this movie?

I keep this on my desk at work:
