Good night, munky.

I just got done typing a synopsis for Med about [i]Stranger Than Fiction.[/i]

[i]Stranger than Fiction[/i]?

Australia.

[QUOTE=Bartender][i]Stranger than Fiction[/i]?[/QUOTE]

A Palahniuk book.

I feel oddly compelled to copy/paste everything I wrote to Med.

Sea Change is an incredible album

It's pretty good, yeah. I just got [i]Mellow Gold[/i] recently too, and it's also good.

I just realised I own four Beck albums :-/

[quote=Synopsis of Book]Chuck Palahniuk's world has always been, well, different from yours and mine. The pieces that comprise Stranger than Fiction, his first non-fiction collection, prove just how different, in ways both highly entertaining and deeply unsettling...

... encounters with alternative culture heroes Marilyn Manson and Juliette Lewis; the peculiar wages of fame attendant on the big-budget film production of the movie Fight Club;...

... life as an assembly-line drive train installer by day, hospice volunteer driver by night; the really peculiar lives of submariners; the really violent world (and mangled ears) of college wrestlers; the underground world of iron-pumping anabolic steroid gobblers;...

... the immensely upsetting circumstances of his father's murder and the trial of his killer-- each essay or vignette offers a unique facet of existence as lived in and/or observed by one of our most flagrantly daring and original literary talents.[/quote]

Forgive me for not italicizing anything. I did in the IM, but just not here.

[quote=Snippets of the Introduction]"If you haven't already noticed, all my books are about a lonely person looking for some way to connect with other people" is how he begins.

"... Whether it's a ranch in Montana or a basement apartment with ten thousand DVDs and high-speed Internet access, it [achieving the American dream] never fails. We get there, and we're alone. And we're lonely..."

"... we destroy our lovely nest and force ourselves back into the larger world. In so many ways, that's how you write a novel. You plan and research. You spend time alone, building this lovely world where you control, control, control everything... you stay in your story world until you destroy it. Then you come back to be with people..."

"... if your story sells well enough, you get to go on a book tour. Do interviews. Really be with people. A lot of people. People, until you're sick of people. Until you crave the idea of escaping, getting away to a... to another lovely story world. And so it goes. Alone. Together. Alone. Together..."

"... the journalist writes to connect you to the larger world. A conduit. But a writer writer is different. Anybody who writes fiction is- people imagine- alone. Maybe because fiction seems to connect you to only the voice of one other person. Maybe because reading is something we do alone. It's a pastime that seems to split us away from others..."

"... before I began writing Fight Club, I worked as a volunteer at a charity hospice. My job was to drive people to appointments and support-group meetings... those meetings were uncomfortable because no matter how I tried to hide, people always assumed I had the same disease they had... so I started telling myself a story about a guy who haunted terminal illness support groups to feel better about his own pointless life..."

"... in so many ways, these groups... they've come to serve the role that organized religion used to. We used to go to church to reveal the worst aspects of our lives, our sins. To tell our stories. To be recognized. To be forgiven. And to be redeemed, accepted back into our community... in these places, I found the truest stories. In support groups. In hospitals. Anywhere people had nothing left to lose, that's where they told the most truth..."

"... while writing Invisible Monsters, I'd call telephone sex numbers and ask people to tell me their dirtiest stories... and you'll be taking notes for hours. Because it's only sound, it's like an obscene radio show. Some people are just actors, others will break your heart. On one call, a kid talked about being blackmailed into having sex with a policeman who threatened to have his parents charged with abuse and neglect. The policeman gave the kid gonorrhea, and the parents he was trying to save... they threw him out to live in the street..."

AntiHero3314: "... Like a laywer arguing a case in a courtroom, you become an advocate who wants the reader to accept the truth of your character's worldview. You want to give the reader a break from their own life. From their own life story. This is how I create a character..."

In this way [of writing], even the lonely act of writing becomes an excuse to be around people. In turn, the people fuel the storytelling [I left out the part where he has Sunday night gatherings with friends, sorry]. Alone. Together. Fact. Fiction. it's a cycle. Comedy. Tragedy. light. Dark. They define each other. it works, but only if you don't get stuck too long in one place."[/quote]

Phew. Gold stars to anyone that wants to read all that.

Palahniuk, eh. By coincidence I'm watching Fight Club while I'm on MX. I would have thought that if your power animal is a small penguin, you have problems.

I'm a big Beck fan, believe it or not.

Read my long post just above the one I quoted :[size=2]pathet[/size]ic:

[QUOTE=EddieVanHalen769]A Blaze In the Northen Sky is an awsome album. :P

/reason behind my avatar[/QUOTE]

Two very similar albums, I'm sure.

[QUOTE=AntiHero3314]Forgive me for not italicizing anything. I did in the IM, but just not here.[/QUOTE]

It wouldn't make any difference, would it? Everything in quote boxes is italicised anyway.

I won't read it all, though. I've not read the book, so it would be kinda tedious to do, and would mean nothing to me at the end :)

Do we lose gold stars if we cant be ****ed?

[QUOTE=Med57]It was very interesting actually. Really, genuinely interesting. Thanks for typing all of it. :)

He's a great artist...[I]Guero[/I] disappointed me a bit, but albums like [I]Odelay![/I] are absolutely incredible. [I]Sea Change[/I] is very good as well.

And on that note, goodnight all. :wave:[/QUOTE]

Guero sucked IMO.

Odelay and Sea Change are both practically perfect, Mellow Gold and Mutations are great, Midnite Vultures is very good, and the two albums he did between Mellow Gold and Odelay are pretty good.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Which ones?

I'm a big Beck fan, believe it or not.[/QUOTE]

Mellow Gold, Odelay, Sea Change and Guero. I gather you didn't like Guero? (EDIT: never mind)

I'm just so used to only owning one or two albums by artists I listen to, either because I've not gotten around to buying more or they just don't have any more released, and now all of a sudden Ive realised I own multiple albums by people I never really expected to.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Two very similar albums, I'm sure.[/QUOTE]
Yes, of course, I was just making another random comment.

/doesn't know who that album is by.

[QUOTE=Bartender]It wouldn't make any difference, would it? Everything in quote boxes is italicised anyway.[/QUOTE]

Derrhrrhrrhrr :retarded:

Wouldn't the tags make it regular font, then?

[QUOTE=Bartender]I won't read it all, though. I've not read the book, so it would be kinda tedious to do, and would mean nothing to me at the end :)[/quote]

It's just Palahniuk's introduction that is completely separate from the novel itself.

[quote=Sonic whatever]I'm too lazy to read it.[/quote]

:shrug:

[QUOTE=EddieVanHalen769]Yes, of course, I was just making another random comment.

/doesn't know who that album is by.[/QUOTE]

Beck, hence all the Beck talk.

How does [i]ABITNS[/i] compare to [i]Transilvanian Hunger[/i]?

[QUOTE=AntiHero3314]Derrhrrhrrhrr :retarded:

I don't think so. I'm too lazy to bother finding out, though.

[QUOTE=Antihero]It's just Palahniuk's introduction that is completely separate from the novel itself.

Oh okay. Maybe I will read it then.

[QUOTE=EddieVanHalen769]Yes, of course, I was just making another random comment.

I was being facetious, so don't worry about it too much.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Beck, hence all the Beck talk.[/quote]
Ah, yes. Beck is good, although I haven't heard enough of his stuff.

[quote]How does [i]ABITNS[/i] compare to [i]Transilvanian Hunger[/i]?[/QUOTE]
They are both very good, but I'd say Transilvanian Hunger is better by a small bit.

So severaim is being a douchebag and posting his Stairway tab repeatedly after each time it gets closed.
