The wording of this tweet made it sound like this woman bought Garfield Eats lock, stock, and barrel, but I think she just (a) bought everything on the menu and (b) showed them pictures of her Garfield collection.

If you started dating someone and they were like 'I'm really into Star Trek" you'd probably be like '... Eh, sure".
If they said "I am a Garfield superfan" that would be an instant "have a good life"

B, b, b - b is for your belligerent, bitchy, bottomless state of affairs, but why?

{Arabiolosis} Chapter Ten: The Prerogative

quote:

Mazri's Law #10: You always have a choice. Your destiny is measured by how much you very well want it against how many bad choices you make against it. Choose what makes more sense and the rest will fall into place. Believe it or not!

What a long, strange trip it's been. Quebec, Saudi Arabia, Paris*, Beirut, Dubai, London, LA, and now we're back on a plane headed home to Saudi Arabia again. (Nathen offhandedly mentioned spending summers in Paris when they weren't summering in Canada - I skipped recounting it. Chapter 2? Doesn't matter.) This book has had more exotic locations than an Ian Fleming novel but a lot fewer women. :rimshot:

The good news is that Nathen has used the twenty two hour flight home to be productive and has achieved Enlightenment mid-air:

quote:

On October 15th 2015, I was on the next plane to the middle of Arabia once again. On the plane, sitting in economy class, I simply felt a sense of serenity and peace with myself. (...) I was more in control of how my surrounding affects me and I had more power to accept who, what, and when a person or stimuli is permitted to enter my life. I was the master of my emotions. I reached a sense of self-confidence that I have never felt, coming really from within, that was contagious to people as they surely felt a sense of positivity and power emanating from my aura.

Enlightenment may have changed Nathen as a person but his writing metaphors still need a little work:

quote:

My driver waited outside as he took my luggage and drove on the King Fahad highway back home where everything to me seemed eccentric as I never thought I'd be back, but more peaceful and intriguing, as if I had never been to this part of the world before. Yeah, right! I endured more than the hyenas had when they were deprived of food when Scar took over the Kingdom in Lion King.

Nathen's family rejoices upon his return. His mother cries as he comes through the door, his siblings don't hate him any more, and even Absent Saudi Arabian CEO Dad is happy to have him home:

quote:

I heard steps coming down the stairs and it was my father who had the biggest smile reaching his symmetrical ears I have ever seen.

Are my ears symmetrical? As if my psyche needed something new to be self-conscious about. Anyways his father tells him he loves him and those familial drama plot lines are all wrapped up neatly with a happy ending.

But wait, the good news ain't over yet:

quote:

I was told the good news that evening as we had dinner: we were finally to move to Dubai, the land of abundance and extraordinary things, where my father had bought a six-room house. I was surprised and screamed from joy. (...) Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become symbolic for it's skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. In November 2013 it won the right to host EXPO 2020. The beautiful Arabian Sea that makes up The Beach by Meraas and Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) outside mall including the strip of restaurant where top hotel chains settle such as The Hilton, Mariott, and Ritz Carlton overlooking the beautiful beach and touristic streets were among my favourite hotspots.

I'm going to miss his press-release writing style, I really am.

Nathen runs into an old acquaintance at "Starbucks for men" and said acquaintance remarks that Nathen seems happier, healthier, etc. This gives him one last chance to launch in a multi-page essay on how Saudi Arabia has lost it's way (religion) but the West has also lost it's way (secularism) and if he offers some sort of solution I missed it as my eyes gloss over when these multi-page soliloquys drag on and on.

We end as Nathen does the movie thing and breaks the fourth wall by saying the title while the camera does a slow pan over the desert to finally end on a single flower blooming in a small, hidden oasis:

quote:

If I had never lived in Saudi Arabia, I would have never come into terms with suppression called Arabiolosis, the movement of an individual or collective individuals from a country that advocates freedom to a country that advocates suppression originated in Saudi Arabia. In my case, I moved from Canada to KSA, and today I shall post #TYKSA(Thank You Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) for the man I am today.

quote:

What is the theme of Chapter 10?
Think introspection!

Many thanks to all y'all that read all these summaries, to bvj191jgl7bBsqF5m for this thread, and to all the Garphiliacs keeping the Spirit of Garf alive. Finally I too would like to post #TYKSA for making Nathen into the entergaging individual he is today.

And the bachelor / bachelorette party, he'll probably hold it inside the Eats place despite there being no place to stand let alone sit.

WHAT YOU SAY
I live literally around the corner from this place and it's basically always empty except on weekends when they have a Garfield mascot outside trying to wheel people in.
I've been meaning to order from them before it inevitably runs out of money and shuts down. Rent in Toronto is not cheap.

The owner is an United Emirates oil sheikh, and this is his pet project. It's not running out of money any time soon.

Nevertheless, order the whole menu asap
