i never doubted it adam!

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 19:10 (nineteen years ago) link

No, i know. I was acting as a chorus!

The gods appear in many forms,
carrying with them unwelcome things.
What people thought would happen never did.
What they did not expect, the gods made happen.
That's what this story has revealed.

I was wrong about Poseidon, the deity in question is Artemis.

i'm trying to remember specifics of the paper, and failing. the only thing coming to mind is a bit from i used from the bluest eye, something about how he wanted to fuck her, but tenderly and then he wanted to wring her neck but also tenderly. i wrote most of it in a 10-hour adderol-fueled burst of insanity. the theme was sexual violence and the sacrifice of the daughter. go liberal arts!

lauren, did you ever read the secret diary of laura palmer?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:03 (nineteen years ago) link

in a similarly feverish night i wrote a paper on melville's bartleby and hal 9000 from 2001: a space odyssey

ts: the secret diary of laura palmer vs. the diary of agent dale cooper vs. the "diane" tapes vs. twin peaks: an access guide to the town

(bonus points to those who guess which of these i have *two* copies of)

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:05 (nineteen years ago) link

the secret diary is GREBT! So was that book of Agent Cooper's tapes.

(argh, xpost)

I had two copies of the access guide for a while.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:05 (nineteen years ago) link

the secret diary is so NASTY AND WRONG

also great

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:07 (nineteen years ago) link

the Diary of Agent Dale Cooper is filled with really crazy scenes, like the severed hands holding the tiles from the chess board (or something. maybe they were playing cards. I guess it wasn't so memorable after all). Anyway it was more interesting as a stand-alone than Laura Palmer's Diary.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I have all of those books. I was pretty young when I read LP's diary and it was very rude and exciting. Well done, Jennifer Lynch.

I also have the book of "critical approaches to Twin Peaks". Has anybody else read that?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:07 (nineteen years ago) link

haha xxpost

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:07 (nineteen years ago) link

serge and charlotte gainsbourg--"lemon incest" classic or dud?

so is it incest week on ILX?

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Twin Peaks and that Diary made me want to work for the FBI because I became convinced there was a deep hidden strain of mysterious supernatural evil at work in the world that tied together all misfortunate events. I was crazy!

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I wonder if TOMBOT read these books...

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:09 (nineteen years ago) link

You have to have 20/20 vision to work for the FBI, am I right? That's me disqualified.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Ask Clarice!

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I loved learning who Diane really was on the booklet that came with the Twin Peaks soundtrack.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:11 (nineteen years ago) link

my friend had the secret diary of laura palmer, and also the dale cooper diary. the latter gave me nightmares. wow. how i loved that show. i was the log lady for halloween one year.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:14 (nineteen years ago) link

i was so obsessed with this show through the first season I think it literally kept me alive while I was hospitalized for bleeding ulcers and other problems. I remember watching the third to last episode from a hospital bed out of my mind on morphine.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:16 (nineteen years ago) link

My younger brother would dress like Bobby Briggs year-round. (parted haircut, leather jacket with letter on back, flannel shirt around waist, lotsa t-shirts, boots)

-- gygax! (gygax0...), August 31st, 2004.

huh? i must've missed this. (not that i don't own the soundtrack you doubtas)

i like the part in the cooper diaries about his wild hippie fling with the girl from bryn mawr

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

everyone dressed that way in 1990 (xpost)

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

oh i totally wanted to save shelly from bobby briggs and leo

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:17 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost: Yeah, but which came first? Twin Peaks or grunge? (This was the NW btw)

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

does the font color tag still work?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

my friend and i started an anti-cancellation letter-writing campaign under the name BOB (Babes Out for Briggs).

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

i guess not.

Twin Peaks pre-dates grunge.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:20 (nineteen years ago) link

My haircut and clothing for a good part of high school were half influenced by Bobby (and, yeah, probably the other half by "grunge").

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:20 (nineteen years ago) link

But they did nicely coincide eventually!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:20 (nineteen years ago) link

It was a good look for teenag boys.

Leo's main character motivation: cleanliness

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:21 (nineteen years ago) link

new shoes

SCROLL DOWN TO KNOW WHO DIANE REALLY WAS

***SPOILER ALERT****

Diane was the name of Spcl Agnt Cooper's microcassette recorder

**** END SPOILER ALERT****

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I REALLY didn't know that.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

well i guess <p> tags don't even work anymore. this board is so bland.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

my friend and i started an anti-cancellation letter-writing campaign under the name BOB (Babes Out for Briggs).
-- lauren (warmleatherett...), August 31st, 2004.

i subscribed to the twin peaks gazette or whatever it was called. wrote letters to viacom and the show's commerical sponsors when it was threatened with cancellation. i also belonged to a twin peaks discussion group (i was 13). we shared donuts and coffee and rented out the rec room in a crappy hotel in deerfield to watch the finale.

XPOST

but gygax that doesn't make any sense re. diane. doesn't he request that she get him files and photocopy stuff etc. ?!?!

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

There's a photo of the recorder with her name under it, but that just signifies her mystery identity.

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:24 (nineteen years ago) link

looking back and seriously assessing the situation, i think the only person on the show i really wanted to fuck was audrey though i claimed to have a crush on agent cooper.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:24 (nineteen years ago) link

audrey... (sigh)

i still haven't got around to my theory.

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:25 (nineteen years ago) link

oh man i think i can trace 90% of my sexual preferences back to audrey horne

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:25 (nineteen years ago) link

On a related note, I saw a k. d. lang video this weekend and it even had dwarves in it.

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought Madchen Amick was impossibly beautiful. (I never cared for Audrey.)

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:26 (nineteen years ago) link

audrey was just the natural progression and almost terrifyingly perfect realization of the fantasy woman I had constructed in my shy and terrified mind from the second I hit puberty. She still haunts me! Plaid skirts, please come back into fashion now!

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I am with morris pavilion on this particular issue.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I also wrote to complain about cancellation (and I was in the UK!) and went out for cherry pie and coffee the day that the 2nd season finished!
