sam: i recounted the xkcd librarian comic. can't remember why. sam: Eve said, "hey! let me show you something! sam: then she dived into her bag and produced a piece of a book. sam: she "divides" them into pieces because they're handier to read that way. sam: especially if they're longer books. me: ... sam: me & Chuck: *WAIL* sam: Brandon & Graham: "cool" me: she. me: she what? sam: seriously. she tears them into little chunks. me: ... sam: i can't tell you. me: ohmygod. sam: and the chunks get frayed, obviously. sam: because they have no covers. sam: Eve: *giggle* some people get freaked out by it. sam: then i recced Nabokov's "Pale Fire", because in the preface the lunatic narrator suggests buying two books to read in parallel, or if one's purse does not allow it, tearing the book in half and reading the pieces side by side. sam: that almost made it OK, but not quite.
My and my mates once made a bizarre film (hahaha) which was basically the '70s cop show version of Cluedo. It's hilarious, in that sort of painful, we-weren't-even-drunk-why-did-we-do-this way. :D
