Chichevache: Feb 17, 2010; One of the funniest posters in GIP.

I started reading Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing after I read this chain of posts in the Quotes Thread:

General Battuta posted:
I was pacing the halls of Atrithau contemplating the knowledge of pure meaning when my senses were assaulted by a hideous Mark. Whirling I saw a velour-robed Schoolman. Impossible! As I summoned my wards the man said, "Yo momma made a pit of her womb so deep they call her Mom-Uirokas." Desperately I focused on the simple truth of the geometric point. But the sorcerer's chapped lips chuckled "Yo momma so stupid she thinks skin-spy can cover up her herpes" and I was confronted with the knowledge that my disgrace was anticipated in ancient counsels where men's honor was bound to the grace of their mothers. My world pitched as the nimil-chained wizard cried "Aurang left yo momma's house so ashamed and hosed up he ran up to me saying, 'who am I? what do you see??'" And I wept as I accepted the busting of my soul.

rumour has it that the most fearless Mandate scholars face one final Dream of Seswatha that none have ever experienced without succumbing to madness and clawing out their own eyes in their sleep; the very night you were conceived
General Battuta posted:
Deep within the halls of Ishual I oversaw the birth of the latest Candidate. From the scents and issues of the pregnancy I had determined the sex of the boy. But when the child slid from the whale-mother it was at a time unanticipated by the evidence, and beneath the natal filth he wore a robe of thick cloth. Improbably, the child spoke. "Look here," he burbled, "buncha nerds so cloistered they think a clitoris is a property of the soul's will to become self-moving. Hey! You! You spend twenty years studying how passions move peeled-up faces?" And I saw in his bloodied face the words 'and yo cock so little they call you the Death of Girth.' I fell into the Probability Trance to explore the causal origins of this event, but everywhere I turned I saw a man with nimil-jeweled teeth hooting "They say an Anasurimbor will come at the end of the world, so I guess the Second Apocalypse goes down after three pumps". And I felt the Absolute escape me forever.

It is a pretty fun fantasy series. Not at all what I expected, but I loved the concept of a student of philosophy writing a fantasy series. Serendipitously, I'm also-- very slowly-- reading Nietzche's The Birth of Tragedy, because I'm a douchebag.

Unruly Places: Lost Spaces, Secret Cities, and Other Inscrutable Geographies. A book about odd places, how they come into existence, and general philosophy about how we shape/view spaces and how spaces shape us. Also, I'm perpetually working through articles I found on Don Van Natta's Sunday Long Read.

Making my way back through my Discworld collection for the second time in the last couple of years, I'm almost finished with the City Guards line, then it'll be the Witches, finally the Death series. I just finished Nixonland and All The President's Men, and still have The Invisible Bridge to go, but between all that and real news, I needed to lighten things the hell up for a couple of weeks.

Chromatic: Jan 21, 2005; You guys ready to hear a satanic song?

Last book I read was "Digging up Mother" by Doug Stanhope. The title is loosely based on the time he helped his mother kill herself due to her COPD and eventually bought a shitload of stuff on credit cards in her name. It happened in 2008 but couldn't tell it until recent due to statute of limitations.

What an amazing alcohol fueled life this dude has lived.

Also bonus the funniest description about why farts are just the best. :allears:

quote:

Let me take a moment to defend flatulence. While I can appreciate and enjoy intelligent humor that makes you think, I never want to become so ensconced in artistry that I no longer laugh at farts. There is nothing even remotely close to how much a powerful, wet, gurgling blast of gas and matter can make me laugh. From the beginning, as a child, they made me weep snot, and have continued to make me fall out every time since. I couldn�t name one other comedy source more timeless than farts. Stand-up comedy has the shelf life of mayonnaise in the hot sun. Jokes get old. Movies like Caddyshack still hold up fairly well but could never make me spill off a chair with tears running down my face, gasping for breath, like a well-placed, turbulent anal expulsion. Repeatedly, over and over, even when you see �em coming.

Jeff Brown and I commonly ate at the Sahara dinner buffet where I had�to this day�the best spectacle of bowel-wrenching flatulence of my life. The room was full of mostly elderly people, tables tightly packed, and we were seated dead center. It was silent except for the slight tinkling of silverware on plates. I felt my lower intestine chamber up and I knew it had championship prospects. I knew Jeff Brown would have absolutely no appreciation for what was about to happen, which made it way funnier. My chair was the perfect hard plastic for maximum reverberation. I was choking down the belly laugh as I leaned up and into the table, hands on the corners, thoroughly telegraphing my intentions. What came out of me was Hell�s Trumpet. A deafening tear echoed off every corner of that muted hall. It lasted at least 6�7 seconds, a veritable eternity of hang-time for nonstop wind. The pitch roared up and down the scales in range. The clarity of sound would have made you feel like you were actually dining inside my colon. People were seated literally a foot behind me. When it concluded, all sound in the dining room had completely evaporated. There was no question that every single person of the hundred or so in there had bore witness to my masterpiece. Jeff Brown was paralyzed with inner fury as the mortified silence turned to widespread murmurs of disgust. I simply stared at my plate as tears flooded my eyes, my nose ran, and I began to drool while convulsing and desperately trying to contain any audible laugh. Jeff would have run for the door had it not been situated so far away. He was genuinely enraged, and still comically fumes to this day when I bring that story up. I laughed just as hard now recounting it here as I did that pleasant afternoon. (And again, during rewrites.)

Farts are the funniest things in life, and if you disagree, then you have no soul. End of story.

Studying for the CFA so not a lot of free time to read but on a recent vacation I knocked out Das Reboot (about how Germany fixed their national soccer team), Zalacain the Adventurer (the author was one of Hemingway's inspirations), and Borrow: The American Way of Debt (a look into American debt in the 20th century). I'd recommend all 3.

Got back from Maui. Did some cool things:

- Drove to Hana finally. If you enjoy driving, this is one drive you should do once in your life. Went to the seven sacred pools and hiked to the Waimoku falls. Coolest waterfall I've seen in my life. Hana itself is a really depressing town, though.
- Couldn't do a sunrise hike at the peak (as of last month, they now require reservations which were sold out when we got there), but went there anyways after sunrise. Good hiking, and the one part of the trip where I actually felt cold, as the weather hovers around 50 degrees there.
- Snorkeled at Molokini, and at turtle town as well. Didn't see any reef sharks sadly. Got that fix at the aquarium, though.
- Drank so many Mai Tais.
- Makena beach was probably my favorite beach. The waves owned. Everyone says Kaanapali beach is the best, but that's really crowded.
- Girlfriend treated me to a fancy dinner on my birthday. Also, yeah there's a lot of great food on that island.

Feels weird to be back at work.

If you actually master other techniques you don't need sous vide. The best thing about sous vide is you're never going to completely gently caress something up and your stuff will be done at the right temperature no questions asked.

Having said that I, as someone who is not willing to actually master anything about cooking, enjoy my cheapish (relatively) sous vide circulator.
