Hahahahaha. I don't think I ever saw that one.

You and I will not speak for the duration of the meal, yet my guests may at times wish to engage you in conversation. You may converse with them, but you will only speak when spoken to. Eye contact with me is unadvised.

Hey Jimbo, one of my friends from college just linked to our Respect Are Country Tumblr from last summer!

[YojimboMonkey]

haha cool, I just posted in it again the other day, I saw a sign that was just too perfect, possibly so on the nose that it was a parody, but I had to put it up

I was just reading some news article about stuff going on in the Catholic church in the part of Austria that my parents are from, and while it wasn't all that uplifting overall, I was very much thrilled to read the name of the main protagonist, a bishop named (drumroll!) Ägidius Zsifkovics.

[Good Intentions]

Suddenly I feel as if my parents have cheated me.

[alex]

Well, just try to imagine how the rest of us - except for Brian Ignatius, of course! - must feel now.

While checking something on the reference list for my in-progress introductory chapter I think I finally figured out why I've taken so long to write this instead of moving on to the conclusions: the reference list for this chapter alone is five pages (single space, no space between entries) long! I'm taking this whole literature discussion way too seriously, am I not?

That is an excellent name. On a slight tangent, I recently heard about an Anglican vicar here in England whose name was Christopher Moss.

Father Chris Moss.

I feel like angelica huston would be good to cast in the role of dorothy parker if they ever did a biopic on that lady.

good call, though I like jennifer jason leigh more. 




(full disclosure: I have been madly in love with JJL since before I understood why I liked the R-rated movies most, and would thus prefer her in any role over any competition. angelica huston certainly brings it, though)

My girlfriend had never heard Bill Hicks, so last night we put on some Bill Hicks thing on netflix streaming I'd never seen before, and Jesus.  He seemed to spend half the show calling George Michael a faggot.  I was like uhh, I do not remember Bill Hicks's act being like this at all.

It did kind of go to show how much the country has changed in the intervening 20ish years though.  The show was in Austin, if he went up calling people faggots today he'd probably get pelted with rocks.

[C of heartbreak]

Haha, I had the exact same experience, girlfriend and all. His good moments make up for his bad ones, but it's kinda hard to see past the fact that most of his career he didn't get past being the weird funny guy in high school.

[elpollodiablo]

Wow, that's not at all my experience of Hicks based on his records. I dunno that I've ever heard him use that slur, either.

It wasn't mine either, that's what was so remarkable about it.  Halfway through, she's suspiciously eyeing me as if I'd told her we were going to watch a Carebears movie only to find out that it's actually an underage nazi snuff film.

At one point Bill compared 'real rock & roll' to fucking a teenage girl to death with a massive cock/chainsaw, and I'm just like, 'huh.  I don't remember that bit.'

The Netflix thing was called "Bill Hicks: Sane Man"

[Good Intentions]

That's his first video release, and not his best.

Watching the show where he had that 'Hitler had the right idea, he was just an underachiever' blowout is pretty hard going as well. Relentless was the one closest to the experience of the records for me.

[Dick]

The funny thing is, I know I've seen the Sane Man video before, because I remember the little interstitial black-and-white parts, but I totally glazed over the terrible bits in my memory.  Anyway, yeah, I'm going to make her watch Relentless as an apology/rehabilitation.

[coldforge]

I watched the new Hicks doc, American. I hated the movie and I think his comedy (even the fagless parts) has simply aged terribly. 

[C of heartbreak]

I had only seen clips on youtube previously. Sane Man was just awful. I kind of figured American would be pretty bad.

Still, I don't think anyone gets much better than this.

[Little Sixes Little Nines]

Even that video, though, which is the one I always hear quoted, feels like one joke stretched out to fill three minutes. dude was just not as funny as they say.

[C of heartbreak]

I dunno about that. Every time I watch it I wish it were twice as long. I'd certainly take an hour and a half of Bill ranting about marketing over most other standup.

After I got off the train an hour ago and halfway on the way home, I noticed that I didn't have my phone in my pocket. I thought I'd stop just in case, looked through my bag, my jacket, my trouser pockets - and in the process not only didn't find my phone, but also couldn't locate my key. I panicked quite a bit there (without a phone, and not knowing the landlord's or any of my housemates' - most of whom wouldn't currently be in the city anyway, what with the holidays and all - numbers, it would be much harder to get into my place without a key), decided that if I cycled back to the station immediately I might still catch my train during its 20-minute break in Maastricht, and arrived there indeed a few minutes before it left. The people who were sitting where I had sat hadn't found anything, and neither had the conductor. So I left, feeling pretty awful. Looking through my bags again in front of the station, I was absolutely elated to find that I did have the keys in the bag after all. Phone's still lost (no idea if it's a good idea, but I just sent myself a text message containing my e-mail address and office number; perhaps I'll get lucky with an honest finder), but I'm so relieved about the key that I'm really not too bothered.

(It's a cheap phone, no contract. It's mildly annoying that I had just recharged my credit a week ago, so there's about 15 Euro on it, but, you know, whatever.)

Yikes. I hope it turns up, but that's good about the key.  Losing stuff sucks.
