A passage describing Gatsby laying eyes on the protagonist for the first time at a lavish party: "He smiled understandingly - much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced - or seemed to face - the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."

It's great, I have this one too... They also have a copy of issue #4, which I plan on picking up, once I fatten my wallet a little. The humor isn't as spot-on as it is in the show, but they still definitely deliver their fair share of laughs. Quote:
I absolutely love The Martian Chronicles! I own 2 different editions of it. KIS once recommended a tv miniseries rendition (BBC, I believe) to me. I still have to check that out somehow. Currently reading: The Girl Who Would Be Death (All 4 issues) |

Meh, not bad. Pretty boring at times, but the overall message that our brains are changing because of our internet use is really interesting. With information on demand we are essentially becoming lazy and unable to think and reason out a problem. Why remember things or think deeply when information is seconds away through Google?

One thing I like about you Felikson, is that you are so fucking into what you are into. I'm more a skimmer myself, I get into a broad mixture of music, lit, film, etc, and can soak up all kinds with genuine interest, but you dive headfirst into the specifics of something. I love that. Plus, you're hot.
Sorry, I'm drunk. I tend to allow myself feelings when uninhibited |

I've honestly been highly staring at this monitor for like 15 minutes trying to properly respond to this, but I'm just gonna go right for the nutshell and say, "Yeah, you're right." Most things don't appeal to me, so I really appreciate what does. Quote:
thanks! |

Haha, I know, what can be said. It's nice that you replied at all.
Expect more drunken ramblings in the future. Brush off as needed. But keep recommending what you find! |
